Flawed Optics on Spitzer Space Telescope

Picture Imperfect: NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, SKy & Telescope

"NASA officials acknowledge that two of the space agency's premier orbiting telescopes share a common problem: flawed optics. One is the 15-year-old, multibillion-dollar Hubble Space Telescope, which made "spherical aberration" a household term before being rehabilitated in a spectacular rescue mission by Space Shuttle astronauts. The other, overlooked until this week, is the $720 million infrared Spitzer Space Telescope." [gefunden bei NASA Watch ...] 10:23:19 PM   trackback []

NASA Denies Life on Mars Claim

NASA Statement on False Claim of Evidence of Life on Mars

"NASA does not have any observational data from any current Mars missions that supports this claim. The work by the scientists mentioned in the reports cannot be used to directly infer anything about life on Mars, but may help formulate the strategy for how to search for martian life. Their research concerns extreme environments on Earth as analogs of possible environments on Mars. No research paper has been submitted by them to any scientific journal asserting martian life."

Exclusive: NASA Researchers Claim Evidence of Present Life on Mars, Space.com

"The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, told the group that they have submitted their findings to the journal Nature for publication in May, and their paper currently is being peer reviewed."

A whiff of life on the Red Planet, New Scientist

"A leading European Space Agency scientist says he has found a gas in the Martian atmosphere that he believes can only be explained by the presence of life. But the few researchers who have been privy to the facts say that such a conclusion is premature."

Editor's note:the New Scientist article does not reference the claims made in the space.com article by Stoker and Lemke - but does put the Mars Express methane discoveries into perspective. In the space.com story, Stoker and Lemke are purported to have based their conclusions, in part, on the Mars Express methane data. In addition, the New Scientist article disucsses the new detection of formaldehyde by Mars Express. [gefunden bei NASA Watch ...] 10:22:04 PM   trackback []
