    15 000 space rocks and counting / Space Situational Awareness / Operations / Our Activities / ESA
    http://www.esa.int/...ivities/Operations/Space_Situational_Awareness/15_000_space_rocks_and_counting

    The number of catalogued asteroids approaching Earth has grown rapidly since the count reached 10 000 only three years ago.
    “A few decades back, 30 were found in a typical year, now we have been discovering on average 30 new ones per week."

    Physicists make it possible to 3-D print your own baby universe
    http://phys.org/news/2016-10-physicists-d-baby-universe.html

    Researchers have created a 3D printed cosmic microwave background -
    a map of the oldest light in the universe - and provided the files for download.

    "Representing these differences as bumps and dips on a spherical surface allows anyone to appreciate the structure of the early universe.
    For example, the famous 'CMB cold spot', an unusually low temperature region in the CMB, can be felt as a small but isolated depression."

    The CMB can be printed from a range of 3D printers, and two files types have been created by the team: one for simple single-colour structures and
    one that includes the temperature differences represented as colours as well as bumps and dips. The files for both types are free to download.

    Astronomers using observations from NASA's Kepler and Swift missions have discovered a group of rapidly spinning stars
    that produce X-rays at more than 100 times the peak levels ever seen from the sun. The stars, which spin so fast they've
    been squashed into pumpkin-like shapes, are thought to be the result of close binary systems where two sun-like stars merge.

    The 18 stars rotate in just a few days, on average, compared to the sun's nearly one month rotation. Their rapid rotation greatly
    amplifies the same kind of activity we see on the sun, such as sunspots and solar flares, resulting in enhanced X-ray output.

    Tak je tu čtvrtek a s ním hi res snímky MRO, jak ESA slibovala:

    Detailed images of Schiaparelli and its descent hardware on Mars / ExoMars / Space Science / Our Activities / ESA
    http://www.esa.int/...ience/ExoMars/Detailed_images_of_Schiaparelli_and_its_descent_hardware_on_Mars

    A high-resolution image taken by a NASA Mars orbiter this week reveals further details of the area where the ExoMars Schiaparelli
    module ended up following its descent on 19 October.

    The latest image was taken on 25 October by the high-resolution camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and provides close-ups
    of new markings on the planet’s surface first found by the spacecraft’s ‘context camera’ last week.

    Both cameras had already been scheduled to observe the centre of the landing ellipse after the coordinates had been updated following
    the separation of Schiaparelli from ESA’s Trace Gas Orbiter on 16 October. The separation manoeuvre, hypersonic atmospheric entry and
    parachute phases of Schiaparelli’s descent went according to plan, the module ended up within the main camera’s footprint, despite
    problems in the final phase.

    The new images provide a more detailed look at the major components of the Schiaparelli hardware used in the descent sequence.

    The oldest star cluster in Tarantula Nebula even older than previously thought, study finds
    http://phys.org/news/2016-10-oldest-star-cluster-tarantula-nebula.html

    The Hubble Space Telescope Hubble Tarantula Treasury Project (HTTP) survey has revealed new insights on the star formation history
    of the oldest star cluster in the Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus), designated Hodge 301. According to a study published
    Oct. 19 on arXiv.org, this star cluster could be even several million years older than previously estimated.

    Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System: Study: Planet orbiting nearest star could be habitable
    https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/1395/study-planet-orbiting-nearest-star-could-be-habitable/

    A rocky extrasolar planet with a mass similar to Earth’s was recently detected around Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our sun. This planet,
    called Proxima b, is in an orbit that would allow it to have liquid water on its surface, thus raising the question of its habitability. In a study
    to be published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, an international team led by researchers at the Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory (CNRS/Aix-
    Marseille Université) has determined the planet’s dimensions and properties of its surface, which actually favor its habitability.

    Hearing Update 10/25 - Maunakea & TMT
    http://www.maunakeaandtmt.org/hearing-update-1025/

    The third day of the contested case hearings in Hilo had a new expert witness take the stand today on behalf of the University of Hawaii.
    James Hayes of Planning Solutions, Inc. discussed how he helped prepare the TMT project’s Environmental Impact Statement and why the specific
    location was selected to minimize the telescope’s visual impacts.

    Hayes noted that the planned Thirty Meter Telescope will not be built at the top of Maunakea along with the other observatories, but located
    on a lava plain below the summit to minimize its visual impact. TMT will be only visible from 14 percent of Hawaii Island and by only 15 percent
    of the island’s population, mostly around the Waimea area.

    A picture for the 10th birthday of the Virtual Telescope Project: comet C/2006 M4 Swan
    http://www.virtualtelescope.eu/...he-10th-birthday-of-the-virtual-telescope-project-comet-c-2006-m4/

    This year the Virtual Telescope Project celebrates its 10th Birthday: ten years where it made history both in science and public outreach. While we
    will properly celebrate this amazing goal, meantime we want to share with you this image of comet C/2006 M4 Swan, captured exactly ten years ago.

    This image was grabbed exactly 10 years ago and it is a great to share it on the occasion of the 10th Birthday of the Virtual Telescope Project!
