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
