These close-up images, taken by an electron microscope, reveal tiny one-cell organisms called halophiles and methanogens. In a two-year laboratory study, scientists subjected these organisms to increasingly lower temperatures to determine the coldest temperatures at which the microbes could survive and reproduce. The study shows the microbes could survive at below-freezing temperatures and are within the temperature range on present-day Mars. ... Maryland Astrobiology Consortium/NASA/STScI ...

The results of a search for ultrarapid variability of galactic water maser sources at the wavelength 1.35 cm on a timescale of several minutes to 1 h are reported. A special observational technique was developed. ... Among those, several sources that have shown such variability were found. ... Clear evidence for such a variability type was found in at least two sources: W49N and W33B. Variability of this kind displays itself only in certain states of the water masers. ...

The Database of Close Binary Systems . ... Team . ... This web-based interactive database is being developed and maintained by a team at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Moscow State University . The project is an on-line extension of our catalogue on "Highly Evolved Close Binary Stars" (volumes I, II) published by Gordon and Breach in 1996. As of September 2009, the database (both the software and the content) is in its development/testing phase. ...
