The Higgs Boson and a 'New Physics' --"Could Make the Speed of Light Possible" www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
Scientists hailed CERN's confirmation of the Higgs Boson in July of 2012, speculating that it could one day make light speed travel possible by "un-massing" objects or allow huge items to be launched into space by "switching off" the H
"Extreme Physics" Detected in Binary Neutron-Star System www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
South Africa's new radio telescope reveals giant outbursts from binary star system. Using the seven-dish KAT-7 telescope and the 26 m radio telescope at the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) in South Africa, astronomers have observed a

"Hacking the Cosmos" --Photon-Based Quantum Computing www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
"Quantum computers can efficiently render every physically possible quantum environment, even when vast numbers of universes are interacting. Quantum computation is a qualitatively new way of harnessing nature," according to David Deutch, an Isr

Source of Moon's Water After "The Giant Impact" www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
"The simplest explanation for what we found is that there was water on the proto-Earth at the time of the Giant Impact," said Alberto Saal, a geochemist at Brown University. "Some of that water survived the impact, and that's what...

Never-Before-Seen Cluster of Hydrogen Clouds Between Andromeda and Triangulum Galaxies --May Be Result of Dark Matter www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
In a dark, starless patch of intergalactic space, astronomers have discovered a never-before-seen cluster of hydrogen clouds strewn between two nearby galaxies, Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33). The researchers speculate that these rarefied blobs of g
"Universes Evolve Inside Black Holes" --Radical Theories from ESO and Oxford www.dailygalaxy.com 2 TWEETS
Cosmological natural selection – an idea first put forward in the 1990s to explain the apparent 'fine-tuning' of the universe’s basic parameters to allow for the existence of atoms, galaxies, and life itself- proposes that, if new universes are born...
Saturn's Naturally Occurring Radio Signal --New Insights www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
Researchers working with data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have discovered one way the bubble of charged particles around Saturn -- known as the magnetosphere -- changes with the planet's seasons. The finding provides an important clue for solving a rid

Alien Planets of Red Dwarf Stars --"If Life is Discovered There It May Be Older & More Evolved" www.dailygalaxy.com 4 TWEETS
In 2010 a team of planet hunters from the University of California (UC) Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington announced the discovery of a planet with three times the mass of Earth orbiting a nearby star at a...
Image of the Day: Sunset on Osiris (Exo-Planet HD209458b) www.dailygalaxy.com 2 TWEETS
The amazing image above of a sunset on exo-planet HD209458b 150 light years away, was reconstructed by Frederic Pont of the University of Exeter using data from a camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Pont used his knowledge of how...

Astronomers Puzzle Absence of Old Stars at Milky Way's Center www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
A puzzling characteristic of the GC, the astronomer’s abbreviation for the galactic center, is the fact that it contains the three most massive clusters of young stars in the entire galaxy. The Central, Arches and Quintuplet clusters each contain hundreds
Milky Way's Vast Molecular Clouds --Where Some 400 Billion Stars and the Precursors of DNA are Incubating www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
NASA's GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Extraordinaire) ten-year survey was taken from earth-trailing Spitzer Space Telescope. The GLIMPSE mission was to do a deep panorama of our galaxy in the mid-infrared and to penetrate our galaxy’s dark mo
"BX442" --The First Spiral Galaxy in the Universe? www.dailygalaxy.com 1 TWEETS
It seems that, so far, it is: In July of 2012, astronomers observed a spiral galaxy in the early universe, billions of years before many other spiral galaxies formed while using the Hubble Space Telescope. They were taking pictures of...
