NASA - Action Replay of Powerful Stellar Explosion

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/multimedia/photos08-032.html

Light 'echoes' help gauge supernova's fury - space - 20 March 2008 - New Scientist Space
"The site of the ancient explosion is marked by an expanding cloud of debris. Called SNR 0509-67.5"
The event appears to have been similar in power to an explosion observed in modern times called SN 1991T.
Kepler's supernova
Astronomers estimate that the supernova that produced the echo went off about 400 years ago, roughly the same time as the supernova famously observed by astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1604.
But these were two different events – Kepler's supernova happened in a different part of the sky,"
http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13514-light-echoes-help-gauge-supernovas-fury.html


Powerful Stellar Explosion: An Action Replay
"Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA's XMM-Newton Observatory, and the Gemini Observatory, two teams of researchers studied the supernova remnant and the supernova light echo that are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth. They concluded that the supernova occurred about 400 years ago (in Earth’s time frame), and was unusually bright and energetic.
In 2004, scientists used Chandra to determine that a supernova remnant, known as SNR 0509-67.5 in the LMC, was a so-called Type Ia supernova"

NASA - Action Replay of Powerful Stellar Explosion

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/multimedia/photos08-032.html

Light 'echoes' help gauge supernova's fury - space - 20 March 2008 - New Scientist Space
"The site of the ancient explosion is marked by an expanding cloud of debris. Called SNR 0509-67.5"
The event appears to have been similar in power to an explosion observed in modern times called SN 1991T.
Kepler's supernova
Astronomers estimate that the supernova that produced the echo went off about 400 years ago, roughly the same time as the supernova famously observed by astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1604.
But these were two different events – Kepler's supernova happened in a different part of the sky,"
http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13514-light-echoes-help-gauge-supernovas-fury.html


Powerful Stellar Explosion: An Action Replay
"Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA's XMM-Newton Observatory, and the Gemini Observatory, two teams of researchers studied the supernova remnant and the supernova light echo that are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth. They concluded that the supernova occurred about 400 years ago (in Earth’s time frame), and was unusually bright and energetic.
In 2004, scientists used Chandra to determine that a supernova remnant, known as SNR 0509-67.5 in the LMC, was a so-called Type Ia supernova"

"The U.S. currently has no fewer than 11 interplanetary probes scattered about the solar system; five are orbiting, roving or approaching Mars alone, and the others are targeting Mercury, the sun, Saturn and numerous comets or asteroids. One probe is heading for a never before rendezvous with Pluto, a destination it won't reach until 2015."

Ocean May Exist Beneath Titan's Crust, Cassini Spacecraft Finds
On March 25, just prior to its closest approach at an altitude of 620 miles, Cassini will employ its Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer to examine Titan's upper atmosphere. Immediately after closest approach, the spacecraft's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer will capture high-resolution images of Titan's southeast quadrant.

土星の衛星タイタンの地下に海が存在か: AFPBB News
"タイタンの密集した大気の流れが自転軸に影響を与え、回転を速めたり遅くしたりしているという説を立てた。だがそれには、タイタンの地下に海流が存在する必要があり、そのため「海が存在する」との推論が導き出されたという。
この分析結果は米科学誌サイエンス(Science)に掲載された。
土星の衛星「エンケラドス(Enceladus)」でも、巨大な間欠泉が観測されていることから、地下に水が存在するとみられている。"

SNR 0509-67.5
NASA - Action Replay of Powerful Stellar Explosion
"the debris from this explosion, the supernova remnant
SNR 0509-67.5"

Light 'echoes' help gauge supernova's fury - space - 20 March 2008 - New Scientist Space
"The site of the ancient explosion is marked by an expanding cloud of debris. Called SNR 0509-67.5"
The event appears to have been similar in power to an explosion observed in modern times called SN 1991T.
Kepler's supernova
Astronomers estimate that the supernova that produced the echo went off about 400 years ago, roughly the same time as the supernova famously observed by astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1604.
But these were two different events – Kepler's supernova happened in a different part of the sky,"

Powerful Stellar Explosion: An Action Replay
"Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA's XMM-Newton Observatory, and the Gemini Observatory, two teams of researchers studied the supernova remnant and the supernova light echo that are located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth. They concluded that the supernova occurred about 400 years ago (in Earth’s time frame), and was unusually bright and energetic.
In 2004, scientists used Chandra to determine that a supernova remnant, known as SNR 0509-67.5 in the LMC, was a so-called Type Ia supernova"

Olympics not license to gun down dissidents
"When China won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games, the world hoped that the PRC would respect the foundation of peace, good will and sportsmanship that the Games were built on. Alas, such expectations were torpedoed last week when authorities cracked down on Tibetan demonstrators marking the 49th anniversary of the 1959 failed uprising that led to the Dalai Lama's exile in India."
