Microsatellites Send Pictures From Space
Designed to be quickly developed and cost less than conventional satellites, microsatellites such as Hodoyoshi-3 & 4 could be the future of Earth observation.
Cosmic Ray Hotspot Found
The Telescope Array group has identified a hotspot in the Northern hemisphere where super high energy cosmic rays seem to be clustered.
Mysterious Dance Of Dwarfs Forces Cosmic Rethink
The discovery that dwarf galaxies cluster around larger galaxies in orderly discs challenges the current understanding of physical laws.
ISRO Earned US$54 Million From Foreign Launches

NTU Launches Nano & Pico Satellites
Designed and built by students and researchers at NTU, the satellites VELOX-I and VELOX-PIII are now orbiting 650 km above the Earth.
Potentially Habitable Planet Found “Nearby”
A newly discovered planet GJ 832 c receives the same average energy from the Sun as the Earth, making it potentially habitable.
Dense Stars Deformed By Extreme Magnetic Forces
Scientists have found that dense stars known as magnetars are deformed by their extremely high magnetic fields, resulting in a wobbly orbit.
Cosmic Explosions Shrouded In Dust
By detecting radio waves from molecular gas, scientists have found that galaxies hosting bright and explosive gamma ray bursts have high proportions of dust.
Gravitating To Singapore
Seeking to study the effects of gravity on muscle mass in humans, Dr. Alfredo Franco-Obregón left the research group he founded at ETH to come to Singapore. He shares his experiences with Asian Scientist.
