2017/10/06

*Narrowing down on Dark Energy A new study looking at pressure waves generated in the primordial universe has revealed possible evidence of dynamical dark energy. The potential discovery means dark energy could behave differently from the cosmological constant model first proposed by Professor Albert Einstein a hundred years ago to allow his general theory of relativity to work in cosmology. *Strange comet like binary asteroid discovered A strange comet like asteroid first discovered more than a

*Rare meteorite rocks scientific community A rare meteorite discovered by prospectors in far north Queensland (Australia) is providing new clues about the internal structures of large asteroids and possibly even some terrestrial planets. The 15 kilogram space rock was uncovered three years ago, about two metres below the surface, by a couple fossicking for gold with a metal detector. *New theory on the creation of supermassive black holes Scientists using computer simulations have shown how a

*Fourth gravitational wave detection Astronomers have achieved a fourth gravitational wave detection of merging stellar mass black holes. The new discovery was a combined effort between the existing LIGO Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington together with the New European VIRGO detector near Pisa in Italy. *Discovery of a pitch black planet that eats light.

*Australia to finally establish a space agency The Australian Federal Government has announced plans to finally establish its own space agency in an attempt to cash in on the growing 420 billion dollar global space industry. The new agency will co-ordinate strategic long term plans supporting domestic aerospace industries currently worth over four billion dollars -- but which are often uncoordinated and fragmented, often developing similar competing systems. *Discovery of the nearest supermassive

*Could interstellar ice provide the answer to the birth of DNA? Molecules brought to Earth in meteorite strikes could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA. A report in the Chemical Communications claims researchers found that organic compounds, called amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice to trigger the formation of 2-deoxy-D-ribose -- the backbone molecule, , of DNA. *The mysterious night side of Venus The

*The best estimates yet of Earth’s composition Astronomers have determined the most accurate estimate yet of the Earth’s core, finding it makes up 32.5 per cent of the planet’s total mass. The findings are part of a new understanding of the Earth’s composition, which will help scientists develop new methods to determine if exoplanets orbiting distant stars are likely to be capable of supporting life. *New supernovae study reframes the Dark Energy debate A new study claims the accelerating expansion
