Cosmic Lighthouses: Astrophysicists Explain Differences In Brightness Supernovae stand out in the sky like cosmic lighthouses. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and at the National Astronomical Institute of Italy have now found a way to use these cosmic beacons to measure distances in space more accurately. The researchers have been able to show that all supernovae of a certain type explode with the same mass and the same energy - the brightness depends only on how much nickel the supernova contains. This knowledge has allowed the researchers to calibrate the brightness of supernovae with greater precision. Is Apple The New Microsoft?

And, astronomers from the California Institute of Technology and their colleagues have now discovered, it has a moon. Mercury Emissions From US Fires Surprisingly High Fires in the US release about 30 percent as much mercury as the nation's industrial sources, according to initial estimates by NCAR scientists. Fires in Alaska, California, Oregon, Louisiana, and Florida emit particularly large quantities, and the Southeast emits more than any other region, according to the new study.

The Role of the Wildlife Rehabilitator in Disaster Preparedness and Re This paper explores how government and private agencies help animals after a disaster, the problems wildlife can pose for disaster and relief workers, how disasters affect wild animals and what behavior can result, how wildlife rehabilitators fit "into the capture, medical care and temporary sheltering of wildlife,"and how to help the public avoid injury from and provide assistance to wild animals. From the disaster manager for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
