Most Distant Object Ever Observed. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Most Distant Object Ever Observed Interstellar Travel through Wormholes Successful Shuttle Repair Keeps Mission on Track MOST DISTANT OBJECT EVER OBSERVED A quasar observed by the 10-meter Keck telescope in Hawaii was revealed to be the most distant object identified in human history. The distance of the quasar is indicated by its "red-shift", the amount that light from a distant object has shifted toward red by the expansion of the universe. The higher the redshift, the farther the object, and the younger the universe when the observed light was emitted. The light from the quasar that we observe dates back to the infancy of the Universe when it was less than a billion years old. http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0004/14distantobject/index.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_713000/713130.stm http://www.msnbc.com/news/394725.asp INTERSTELLAR TRAVEL THROUGH WORMHOLES New calculations based on Einstein's General relativity suggest that stable wormholes exist that are large enough for faster-than-light travel through them. Hints of the existence of short-cuts through space have intrigued scientists since German theorist Ludwig Flamm discovered the possibility in Einstein's equations. http://www.spacedaily.com/news/future-00d.html SUCCESSFUL SHUTTLE REPAIR KEEPS MISSION ON TRACK Technicians toiled late Wednesday and early Thursday to repair a faulty power drive unit (PDU) in the tail of Atlantis. The successful launch-pad repair should keep the shuttle on schedule for it's April 24th mission. This was the first time a shuttle PDU has been replaced on the launch pad. http://www.spaceviews.com/2000/04/13b.html News from SpaceDaily.com for Today - Ancient Leftovers May Provide Clues To Early Life http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-00r.html - Deepsea Explorers Sally Forth In Search Of Life http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-00s.html - GeoSats Need A MicroDoc http://www.spacedaily.com/news/microsat-00f.html - Impact at High Noon http://www.spacedaily.com/news/near-00zg.html - CSIRO Plans Indian Ocean Climate Observing System http://www.spacedaily.com/news/ocean-indian-00a.html - US Urged To Drop National Missile Defense Program http://www.spacedaily.com/news/bmdo-00p.html - China Opens Space Entrepreneurial Research Centre In Shanghai http://www.spacedaily.com/news/china-00s.html - Dreaming Distant Voyages http://www.spacedaily.com/news/future-00d.html - Japan Hopes To Expand Commuter Distance http://www.spacedaily.com/news/japan-hyperx-00a.html - Hughes Opens One Stop Connection To Intelsat http://www.spacedaily.com/news/intelsat-00c.html - Hybrid Solution Gets Internet Streaming http://www.spacedaily.com/news/internat-00i.html - ISS Keeps Orbiting http://www.spacedaily.com/news/iss-00p.html - Boeing Stresses Quality Engineering To Suppliers http://www.spacedaily.com/news/launchers-00d.html
