. Southwest Research Institute scientists developed a new process in planetary formation modeling that explains the size and mass difference between Earth and Mars. Mars is much smaller and has only 10 percent of the mass of Earth. Conventional solar system formation models generate good analogs to Earth and Venus but predict that Mars should be of similar-size or even larger than Earth. Courtesy of NASA/JPL/MSSS

... More recently, I have been concerned with observing masers located in the circumstellar shells generated by red giant stars in their mass-loss phase, and in what we can therefore learn about the late stages of stellar evolution. 100 mJy are now undetectable after ~12 years, aka the DEATH of an OH/IR star or its cyclical evolution back to a Mira variable. ... I find that this momentum flux is sufficient to support the largest observed rates of AGB mass-loss. last updated: 14 January 2015 . ...
