Scientists Discover New Super Earth Planet With Optimal Conditions In Cosmos
Astronomers have uncovered evidence for a super Earth size planet in the habitable zone of a star 42 light-years away in the southern hemisphere constellation Pictor. If the data truly signal a planet, the object could host liquid water on its surface, the team estimates. Liquid water is seen as a key ingredient for organic life. So far, astronomers have detected more than 840 planets orbiting other stars. A handful of those are super Earths that fall within their stars #39; habitable zones. But only two -- including this newly announced planet candidate -- are far enough away from their stars to allow for a day-night cycle. The others orbit so close to their stars that they #39;ve become tidally locked, presenting the same face to their stars as they swing about their orbits. A day-night cycle on the new planet "improves its chances of hosting an Earth-like climate," the team wrote in the formal report of their discovery, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The host star, tagged as HD 40307, has about 77 percent of the sun #39;s mass and is a sun-like 4.5 billion years old. Researchers previously had detected three super Earths orbiting the star. The potentially habitable planet is one of three additional planet-candidates the team is reporting around HD 40307. It #39;s a uniquely crafted system. Five of the six planets orbit within a scant 23 million miles of the star. HD 40307g, the outermost of the six, orbits another 33 million miles ...From:above scienceViews:101 7ratingsTime:01:45More inPeople Blogs

What's Up In The Sky – November Astronomy Highlights

Posted on by

What's Up for November? The return of Jupiter in the evening sky says Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Jupiter is the star of the evening sky this month. It rises earlier as the month progresses and will be visible at sunset by month's end. There's a lot of detail to be seen on Jupiter, even from a small telescope. Wait as late as you can, when Jupiter is higher in the sky, and you'll have a nicer view. Look above and below the equator for ruddy stripes and the four Galilean moons. If you get a chance, join your local astronomy club for one of their public Jupiter viewing nights. Through larger telescopes you'll see colorful cloud bands, dark and light spots, and if your timing is right you'll catch the Great Red Spot south of Jupiter's equator.

Hundreds of planetary imagers point their camera-laden telescopes at Jupiter every clear night and what they produce is simply amazing. If they see something unusual, they notify interested planetary scientists. If one of the scientists already has observing time scheduled at an observatory, the timing is perfect, and the scientist can observe new or changing features soon after they're discovered. NASA's Juno mission plans to ask the amateur observing community for help in monitoring features on Jupiter in order to plan spectacular images to be taken by Juno's color camera. This will help scientists choose imaging targets for the public to vote on when Juno is in orbit, starting in 2016.

Nearby Jupiter, you'll find the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus. That's the radiant of the November Taurid meteor shower, followed by the early-morning Leonids on the 17th. To learn more about all of NASA's missions, including Juno, visit http://www.NASA.gov.

Getting closer: Super-Earth found in a star’s habitable zone | Bad Astronomy

Posted on by

Well now, this is an interesting discovery: astronomers have found what looks like a "super-Earth" a planet more massive than Earth but still smaller than a gas giant orbiting a nearby star at the right distance to have liquid water on it! Given that, it might might be Earthlike.

This is pretty cool news. Weve found planets like this before, but not very many! And it gets niftier: the planet has at least five siblings, all of which orbit its star closer than it does.

Now let me be clear: this is a planet candidate; it has not yet been confirmed. Reading the journal paper (PDF), though, the data look pretty good. It may yet turn out not to be real, but for the purpose of this blog post Ill just put this caveat here, call it a planet from here on out, and fairly warned be ye, says I.

The star is called HD 40307, and its a bit over 40 light years away (pretty close in galactic standards, but I wouldnt want to walk there). Its a K2.5 dwarf, which means its cooler, dimmer, and smaller than the Sun, but not by much. In other words, its reasonably Sun-like. By coincidence, it appears ot be about the age as the Sun, too: 4.5 billion years. It was observed using HARPS, the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (I know, it should be HARVPS, but thats harvd to pronounce). This is an extremely sensitive instrument that looks for changes in the starlight as a planet (or planets) orbits a star. The gravity of the star causes the planet to orbit it, but the planet has gravity too. As it circles the star, the star makes a littler circle too (I like to think of it as two kids, one bigger than the other, clasping hands and swinging each other around; the lighter kid makes a big circle and the bigger kid makes a smaller circle). As the star makes its circle, half the time its approaching us and half the time its receding. This means its light is Doppler shifted, the same effect that makes a motorcycle engine drop in pitch as it passes you.

Massive planets tug on their star harder, so theyre easier to find this way. Also, a planet closer in has a shorter orbit, so you dont have to look as long to find it. But in the end, by measuring just how the star is Doppler shifted, you can get the mass and orbital period of the planet. Or planets.

In this case, HD 40307 was originally observed a little while back by HARPS, and three planets were found. But the data are public, so a team of astronomers grabbed it and used a more sensitive method to extract any planetary signatures from the data. They found the three previously-seen planets easily enough, but also found three more! One of them is from a planet that has (at least) seven times the mass of the Earth, and orbits with a 198 day period. Called HD 40307g (planets are named after their host star, with a lower case letter after starting with b), its in the "super-Earth" range: more massive than Earth, but less than, say Neptune (which is 17 times our mass).

We dont know how big the planet is, unfortunately. It might be dense and only a little bigger than Earth, or it could be big and puffy. But if its density and size are just so, it could easily have about the same surface gravity as Earth that is, if you stood on it, youd weight the same as you do now!

But the very interesting thing is that it orbits the star at a distance of about 90 million kilometers (55 million miles) closer to its star than is is to the Sun but thats good! The star is fainter and cooler than the Sun, remember. In fact, at this distance, the planet is right in the stars "habitable zone", where the temperature is about right for liquid water to exist!

Thats exciting because of the prospect for life. Now, whenever I mention this I hear from people who get all huffy and say that we dont know you need water for life. Thats true, but look around. Water is common on Earth, and here we are. We dont know that you need water for life, but we do know that water is abundant and we need it. We dont know for sure of any other ways for life to form, so it makes sense to look where we understand things best. And that means liquid water.

North Korea opens its doors to UC scientist

Posted on by

A University of Canterbury scientist has become the first Western astronomer to visit the politically isolated state of North Korea in more than 60 years.

Professor John Hearnshaw (Physics and Astronomy) recently returned from a week-long visit to North Korea where he lectured at the Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang and met with astronomers from the Pyongyang Astronomical Observatory and officials from the Academy of Sciences. He was also taken on 19 cultural visits to sites in and around Pyongyang, and visited two local schools.

Professor Hearnshaw said apart from a visit by a group of Chinese astronomers about 10 years ago, as far as he was aware he was the first astronomer, and one of the few scientists from another country to visit North Korea.

"It was an incredible, stimulating experience for me and one which I would love to repeat in the future. Its one of the most amazing things Ive ever done," he said.

Professor Hearnshaws visit was organised by the Korea-New Zealand Friendship Society which operates inside the Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Professor Hearnshaw has spent a decade working for the International Astronomical Union on promoting astronomy in developing countries.

"My impression is that they want to open the country up to the rest of the world but they dont know how to do this, and they perceive the countries around them as being hostile," he said.

"But their new leader was educated in Europe so he has experienced the West and may see a better way for his country that includes opening it up."

The lectures Professor Hearnshaw delivered at the Kim Il Sung University were on topical aspects of modern astronomy and cosmology - measuring the age of objects in the universe, techniques for finding planets and nuclear astrophysics.

He also took a small library of 109 astronomical books with him as a gift to the students and scientists he met. The books were donated by friends and colleagues who attended the International Astronomical Unions General Assembly in Beijing, which Professor Hearnshaw attended before travelling to North Korea.

Astronomy expert Jonathan Lunine to guide the future of human space flight

Astronomy expert Jonathan Lunine to guide the future of human space flight

A Cornell space scientist has been tapped to help decide whether, when and why Americans will next fly in outer space.

Jonathan Lunine, the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences, will co-chair a new National Research Council (NRC) committee that will undertake a study on the future of the human spaceflight program, the NRC announced.

He will co-chair the study with former U.S. Secretary of Defense Bill Perry, a professor at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation.

The study will review the long-term goals, core capabilities and direction of the U.S. human spaceflight program and make recommendations to enable a sustainable program 2014-23 while considering its likely evolution 2015-30, according to the NRC.

When making its recommendations, the committee will consider previous policies; public and stakeholder input; the needs of government, industry, the economy and the public good; prior studies; and current technical capabilities. And it will identify a set of high-priority "enduring" questions, from scientific problems to engineering, cultural and social science issues, which human space exploration will address.

Congress requested the study by passing the 2010 NASA Authorization Act. That legislation directed NASA to contract the NRC to conduct the study, which officially got under way in August. NRC officials have indicated that the study will take nearly two years to complete.

Lunine, who is director of Cornell's Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, has done work that spans planetary science, theoretical astrophysics and astrobiology. He is interested in how planets form and evolve, what processes maintain and establish habitability and what kinds of exotic environments, such as methane lakes, might host chemistry sophisticated enough to be called "life." He pursues these interests through theoretical modeling and participation in spacecraft missions.

These include his work with the radar and other instruments on Cassini, the mass spectrometer data from Huygens, and as co-investigator on the Juno mission launched in 2011 to Jupiter. He is on the science team for the James Webb Space Telescope, focusing on characterization of extrasolar planets and Kuiper Belt objects. Lunine is also principal investigator for a study led by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to potentially send a probe into Saturn's atmosphere in 2023. And he has contributed to mission concept studies for space-based astrometry and microlensing missions.
