- New view of doomed star
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new composite image of the Eta Carinae from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope shows the remnants of a massive eruption from the star during the 1840s. Eta Carinae is a mysterious, extremely bright and unstable star located a mere stone's throw -- astronomically speaking -- from Earth at a distance of only about 7500 light years. The star is thought to be consuming its nuclear fuel at an incredible rate, while quickly drawing closer to its ultimate explosive demise.

- Hubble sees 'Comet Galaxy' being ripped apart by galaxy cluster
03-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years. The new observations also show one mechanism to form the millions of "homeless" stars seen scattered throughout galaxy clusters.

- The latest about male infertility and testosterone from NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell
10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two reports shed new light on male infertility. A common cause of male infertility, varicoceles, or varicose veins in the scrotum, also results in a depletion of testosterone. In a related finding, once a common, simple surgery is used to treat varicoceles and thereby restore fertility, testosterone levels are also improved.

- Genetic studies endow mice with new color vision
03-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Although mice, like most mammals, typically view the world with a limited color palette - similar to what some people with red-green color blindness see - scientists have now transformed their vision by introducing a single human gene into a mouse chromosome. The human gene codes for a light sensor that mice do not normally possess, and its insertion allowed the mice to distinguish colors as never before.
