Saturday, 05 July 2008 : Theory of Relativity Passes Another Test : Recently, taking advantage of a unique cosmic coincidence, as well as a pretty darn good telescope, astronomers looked at the strong gravity from a pair of superdense neutron stars and measured an effect predicted by General Relativity.    ***   Friday, 04 July 2008 : First measurements of the solar wind termination shock : Two University of Iowa space physicists report that the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been traveling outward from the Sun for 31 years, has made the first direct observations of the solar wind termination shock.    ***   Thursday, 03 July 2008 : STEREO Creates First Images of the Solar System's Invisible Frontier : NASA's sun-focused Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, twin spacecraft unexpectedly detected particles from the edge of the solar system. This helped scientists map the energized particles where the hot solar wind slams into the cold interstellar medium.    ***   Archive
