Multiple Asteroid Belts Found Orbiting Nearby Star

Kligat writes "Scientists have found two asteroid belts around the star Epsilon Eridani, the ninth closest star to our solar system. Epsilon Eridani also possesses an icy outer ring similar in composition to our Kuiper Belt, but with 100 times more material, and a Jovian mass planet near the edge of the innermost belt. Researchers believe that two other planets must orbit the 850 million year old star near the other two belts. Terrestrial planets are possible, but not yet indicated."

Hubble spots a star-circling planet

This image, taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the newly discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its parent star, Fomalhaut, in a release on November 13, 2008. The small white box at lower right pinpoints the planet's location. Fomalhaut b has carved a path along the inner edge of a vast, dusty debris ring encircling Fomalhaut that is 34.5 billion kilometres across. Fomalhaut b lies three billion kilometres inside the ring's inner edge and orbits 17 billion kilometres from its star. The inset at bottom right is a composite image showing the planet's position during Hubble observations taken in 2004 and 2006. Astronomers have calculated that Fomalhaut b completes an orbit around its parent star every 872 years.

Energy Saving for Star Automation Robots

In today’s market, where costs are constantly increasing, reducing the total cost of the finished product is vital in order to cut energy consumption. A recent study on energy saving, which was based on the consumption of the Star Automation robots, showed that by using two functions available in the Star robots it is possible to reduce the energy needed. The “SERVO SLEEP” function, which shorts the power to the servo motors, is activated when the robot is not being used or it is working in auto mode. In both cases Star measured the power consumption of the robot and compared the resulting energy values. With the servo sleep function OFF and ON respectively at a set time of 1.0 seconds, the results are a saving of 8.53% when using the Auto Mode and of 44.

Binary Star Explosion Inside Nebula Challenges Star Theory

The explosion of a binary star inside a planetary nebula has been captured by a team led by UCL (University College London) researchers – an event that has not been witnessed for more than 100 years. The study, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, predicts that the combined mass of the two stars in the system may be high enough for the stars to eventually spiral into each other, triggering a much bigger supernova explosion.

Beta Pictoris Planet Finally Imaged?

A team of French astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered an object located very close to the star Beta Pictoris, and which apparently lies inside its disc. With a projected distance from the star of only 8 times the Earth-Sun distance, this object is most likely the giant planet suspected from the peculiar shape of the disc and the previously observed infall of comets onto the star. It would then be the first image of a planet that is as close to its host star as Saturn is to the Sun.
