Please volunteer to help find star dust from the Stardust spacecraft here. This spacecraft brought back dust from comet Wild 2 back to Earth. These dust particles are embedded in aerogel and with help of volunteers they can be found in a few months, opposed to years. So, please help by contributing your part to answer questions about the universe.
COROT or COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits has launched today at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It is a project of the French national space agency. It's two and a half year mission will find extrasolar planet, or a planet that does not orbit our Sun, by measuring the dip in the light of the star they orbit as they pass in front of it. A 27 cm (10.6 inch) diameter lens will take in these measurements. COROT is also made to observe "starquakes" (defined by SPACE.com as "acoustical waves generated deep inside stars which ripple across a star’s surface, altering its brightness"). This will reveal properties about the stars that COROT will observe.
A hybrid gamma-ray burst was been detected by Swift, one of NASA's satellites, on June 14. Scientists think that this explosion has created a black hole, but was not accompanied by a supernova. It is called GRB 060614 and is located in the constellation Indus, 1.6 billion light years away.
NASA Ames Research Center and Google have teamed up primarily to provide more NASA information on the internet. Moon and Mars data from NASA will be put into Google Earth. Google will also include a feature to track the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle in real-time, using data provided by NASA.
