Using 190 individual HARPS measurements, the astronomers detected the tiny back and forth motions of the star caused by the complex gravitational attractions from five or more planets. The five strongest signals correspond to planets with Neptune-like masses — between 13 and 25 Earth masses — which orbit the star with periods ranging from about 6 to 600 days. These planets are located between 0.06 and 1.4 times the Earth-Sun distance from their central star, the team stated.  On average the planets in the inner region of the HD 10180 system have 20 times the mass of the Earth, whereas the inner planets in our own Solar System — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — have an average mass of half that of the Earth, the astronomers stated. “We also have good reasons to believe that two other planets are present,” Lovis, <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/65397" target="_blank">Read ahead</a></p> <p>Source: networkworld.com</p> <p>Latest

It’s all part of a wild plan to send a human into space on a shoestring budget (in the thousands, not the millions), and it seems to be going pretty well so far. The launch of the “Tycho Brahe” spacecraft (pictured above), which is really as small as it looks and will be towed to sea by a submarine built by one of the team members, is slated to take place on August 30th. A manned launch is still probably a few years off, but this is the first full scale launch for the team, and obviously a huge milestone. We wish the team the best of luck, and will have a bottle of our best bubbly standing by to celebrate. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/24/amateur-copenhagen-suborbitals-team-about-to-send-a-dummy-into-a/" target="_blank">Read ahead</a></p> <p>Source: engadget.com</p> <p>Latest at engadget.com <ul> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/new-kindles-are-amazons-fastest-selling-yet-start-shipping-tod/" target="_blank">New Kindles are Amazon’s fastest-selling yet, start shipping today</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/sony-ericsson-vivaz-now-available-for-atandt/" target="_blank">Sony Ericsson Vivaz coming September 5th to AT&T</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/l-a-hiltes-tactile-texting-device-solves-the-every-pixel-feel/" target="_blank">Guust Hilte’s tactile texting device solves the ‘every pixel feels the same’ problem (video)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/icontrolpad-heads-into-production-support-for-other-phones-prom/" target="_blank">iControlPad heads into production, support for other phones promised</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/pdp-announces-accessories-for-your-accessory-so-you-can-connect/" target="_blank">PDP announces accessories for your accessory so you can connect your Kinect</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/ipadock-overachieves-in-the-best-sort-of-way/" target="_blank">iPADock overachieves in the best sort of way</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/25/logitech-intros-z623-2-1-speaker-system-for-150-gloats-about-t/" target="_blank">Logitech intros Z623 2.1 speaker system for $150, gloats about THX certification</a></li> </ul> </div> <p class="postmetadata"><a href="http://menintospace.com/2010/08/25/amateur-suborbitals-team-about-to-send-a-dummy-into-space/#respond" title="Comment on Amateur Suborbitals team about to send a dummy into space!">No Comments »</a></p> <p class="more"><a href="http://menintospace.com/2010/08/25/amateur-suborbitals-team-about-to-send-a-dummy-into-space/">Continue reading...</a></p> <br clear="all" /> </div> <div class="postsep"> </div> <div class="post-1192 post hentry category-uncategorized tag-bad-astronomy tag-raquo tag-sneak-peek tag-star-birth tag-universe tag-warm-glow" id="post-1192"> <h2> <a href="http://menintospace.com/2010/08/25/when-worlds-really-do-collide/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to When worlds really do collide!">When worlds really do collide!</a> <small>August 25th, 2010 <!-- by admin --></small> </h2> <div class="user">admin</div> <div class="entry"> <p><img src="http://digg.com/space/When_worlds_really_do_collide/l.jpg" align="right">Blogs / Bad Astronomy –> « The coldly warm glow of star birth Bad Universe sneak peek! » When worlds really do collide!
