NASA has turned off a decade-old space telescope, a year after loaning the orbiting instrument to a university that operated it with private funding.
One reason so many Pakistanis go to college and university locally, and thus stay within the orbit of their parents' and relatives' marriage choices, is that they cannot cook.
If successful, Cornell will be the first university to build a spacecraft that reached lunar orbit.
In recent years researchers have been pondering how to send small satellites, called CubeSats, which have been launched into Earth orbit over the past decade, mainly by university teams, farther afield.
Now a team from several universities using NASA's orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton spacecraft say they have discovered supernova remnants that harbor the usual products of Type Ia explosions but are considerably brighter and contain much more hot gas than normal.
Together with Mark Wilkinson of Cambridge University, Evans analyzed velocity measurements of 37 objects that orbit Andromeda at large distances, such as small satellite galaxies, outlying globular clusters, and planetary nebulae.
It began with being at university together and by the time I came into their orbit, they'd had years of writing together in various different combinations to sharpen it up still further.
