Making detailed images of cosmic radio sources
11-24-2006 · European Space Agency (ESA)Using the technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers can make detailed images
of cosmic radio sources, providing astronomers with their clearest,
highest resolution view of some of the most distant and energetic
objects in the Universe. This week EuroNews pays a visit to JIVE, the Joint Institue for VLBI in Europe.

- Flies In A Spider's Web: Galaxy Caught In The Making
10-13-2006 · ScienceDaily
New Hubble images have provided a dramatic glimpse of a large massive galaxy under assembly as smaller galaxies merge. This has commonly been thought to be the way galaxies grew in the young Universe, but now Hubble observations of the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262, nicknamed the "Spiderweb Galaxy," have shown dozens of star-forming satellite galaxies in the actual process of merging.

- Auger Observatory links highest-energy cosmic rays with violent black holes
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists of the Pierre Auger Collaboration, which includes New York University physics professor Glennys R. Farrar, have concluded that active galactic nuclei are the most likely candidate for the source of the highest-energy cosmic rays that hit Earth. Using the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, a team of scientists from 17 countries found that the sources of the highest-energy particles are nearby galaxies that have active nuclei in their centers.

- Auger Observatory closes in on mystery, links highest-energy cosmic rays with violent black holes
11-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
The Pierre Auger Collaboration announced that active galactic nuclei are the most likely candidate for the source of the highest-energy cosmic rays that hit Earth. Using the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, the team of scientists found that the sources of the highest-energy particles are not distributed uniformly across the sky. Instead, the Auger results link the origins of these mysterious particles to the locations of nearby galaxies that have active nuclei in their centers.

- Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
01-23-2008 · EurekAlert!
The most detailed 3-D seismic images yet of the Chicxulub impact crater may modify a theory explaining the "KT Extinction Event" that wiped out most life on Earth, including the dinosaurs. According to research appearing in Nature Geosciences, the asteroid landed in deeper water than previously assumed and therefore released about 6.5 times more water vapor into the atmosphere, possibly making it deadlier by altering climate and generating acid rain.

- NASA and USGS produce most detailed satellite views of Antarctica
03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Golden, Colo., have woven together more than a thousand images from the Landsat 7 satellite to create the most detailed, high-resolution map ever produced of Antarctica. The Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) offers views of the coldest continent on Earth in 10 times greater detail than previously possible.

- Breaking the medical image communication barrier
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Using a new grid computing system, radiologists and pediatric oncologists at 40 hospitals all over North America are now quickly and securely exchanging high-resolution medical images. One hoped-for result will be that the doctors of young cancer patients will know more quickly whose treatment is not working and be able to change course. Others include making second opinions from specialists anywhere easily available, and quicker, closer monitoring of ongoing clinical research and diagnostic practice.
