Planet-hunting telescope unearths hot mysteries
WASHINGTON – NASA's new planet-hunting telescope has found two mystery objects that are too hot to be planets and too small to be stars.
The Kepler Telescope, launched in March, discovered the two new heavenly bodies, each circling its own star. Telescope chief scientist Bill Borucki of NASA said the objects are thousands of degrees hotter than the stars they circle. That means they probably aren't planets. They are bigger and hotter than planets in our solar system, including dwarf planets.
"The universe keeps making strange things stranger than we can think of in our imagination," said Jon Morse, head of astrophysics for NASA.
The new discoveries don't quite fit into any definition of known astronomical objects, and so far don't have a classification of their own. Details about the mystery objects were presented Monday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Washington.
For now, NASA researcher Jason Rowe, who found the objects, said he calls them "hot companions."
How hot? Try 26,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot enough to melt lead or iron.
There are two leading theories for what the objects might be and those theories cover both ends of the cosmic life cycle:
_Rowe suggests they are newly born planets. New planets have extremely high temperatures, and in this case Rowe speculates they might be only about 200 million years old.
_Ronald Gilliland of the Space Telescope Science Institute says they could be white dwarf stars that are dying and stripping off their outer shells and shrinking.
The primary focus of the Kepler telescope's three-year mission is to find out how common other planets — especially Earth-like planets — are in the universe. To do that, it is scanning a small chunk of the sky, about one four-hundredth of the night sky with more than 150,000 stars to look for planets.
The telescope in just six weeks found its first five confirmed planets, slightly more than astronomers expected from such a quick search. There are hundreds of other candidates that need confirmation.
The five planets are all much larger than Earth, much closer to their stars than Earth is to the sun, and way too hot for life, Borucki said. A couple of these planets are close to 3,000 degrees.
"Looking at them is like looking at a blast furnace," Borucki said. "Certainly, no place to look for life."
One of the newly discovered planets is so airy that "it has the density of Styrofoam," Borucki said.
"There's going to be all kinds of weird stuff out there," said Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, who wasn't part of the research. "This is an unparalleled data set. The universe really is a weird place. It's fantastic."

Speedy Spacecraft Now Halfway to Pluto

A speedy NASA spacecraft is halfway to Pluto and on track for a 2015 rendezvous with the distant, icy world.
As of Tuesday, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft was currently about 1.527 billion miles (2.463 billion km) from Earth and 1.526 billion miles (2.462 billion km) from the Pluto system, making it closer to the edge of the solar system than to home. The probe is due to fly by the dwarf planet and its moons on July 14, 2015 before heading further out into the Kuiper Belt at the outskirts of the solar system.
"This is the first of several milestones over the next 10 months that mark the halfway points in our journey to the solar system's frontier, where Pluto lies," said New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado.
New Horizons launched toward Pluto in January 2006 on what NASA has touted as its fastest mission through the solar system.
The spacecraft is just a little past the midpoint between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, and is speeding toward Pluto at a speed of about 750,000 miles (1.2 million km) per day.
New Horizons is currently in hibernation mode, collecting interplanetary dust impact data as it flies. Stern's team plan to wake the craft briefly on Jan. 5 for 10 days of light maintenance and tracking activities.
Other milestones await New Horizons in 2010. On Feb. 25, the probe will have covered half of the actual travel distance of its trip to Pluto. On April 20, it will be at the midpoint between the sun and its rendezvous point with Pluto. And on Oct. 17, the spacecraft will reach the midpoint of its flight time to Pluto, with five more years to go.

Smallest Object in Outer Solar System Spotted
TO READ MORE NEWS CLICK HERE
In a cosmic version of the old needle-in-a-haystack finding, astronomers have spotted an object less than a mile wide that is 4.2 billion miles away, in the outer solar system.
The object is part of the Kuiper Belt, an ring of icy rocks beyond Neptune.
The object, spotted in visible light by the Hubble Space Telescope, is about 3,200 feet (975 meters) across. Previously, the smallest object seen via reflected visible light in the Kuiper Belt was 30 miles wide.
The discovery, though small, is the first observational evidence for a population of comet-sized bodies in the Kuiper Belt that are being ground down through collisions, astronomers said. The Kuiper Belt is therefore collisionally evolving, meaning that the region's icy content has been modified over the past 4.5 billion years, since the solar system was born.
Interestingly, the object is actually 100 times dimmer than Hubble can see directly. So the discovery was made by using a trick of light.
Hubble has three optical instruments called Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) that provide high-precision navigational information to the space observatory's attitude control systems by looking at select guide stars for pointing.
Hilke Schlichting of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and her collaborators figured that the instruments ought to detect any object passing in front of a star, should such an occultation occur. So they collected 12,000 hours worth of such Hubble data — covering 50,000 stars — that focused on the main plane of the solar system, where the Kuiper Belt objects should be.
Schlichting and her team found a single 0.3-second-long occultation event. They assumed the KBO was in a circular orbit around the sun and inclined 14 degrees to the ecliptic – the main plane of the solar system in which planets orbit. The object's distance was estimated from the duration of the occultation, and the amount of dimming was used to calculate the size of the object.
