Astronomy & Astrophysics - A&A Press Release: Gliese 581: One Planet Might Indee
In April, a European team of astronomers announced in Astronomy astrophysics the discovery of two possibly habitable Earthlike planets.
http://cds.aanda.org/content/view/275/42/lang,en/

Extractions: More than 10 years after the discovery of the first extrasolar planet, astronomers have now discovered more than 250 of these planets. Until a few years ago, most of the newly discovered exoplanets were Jupiter-mass, probably gaseous, planets. Recently, astronomers have announced the discovery of several planets that are potentially much smaller, with a minimum mass lower than 10 Earth masses: the now so-called super-Earths [1]. In April, a European team announced in the discovery of two new planets orbiting the M star Gliese 581 (a red dwarf), with masses of at least 5 and 8 Earth masses. Given their distance to their parent star, these new planets (now known as Gliese 581c and Gliese 581d) were the first ever possible candidates for habitable planets. Contrary to Jupiter-like giant planets that are mainly gaseous, terrestrial planets are expected to be extremely diverse: some will be dry and airless, while others will have much more water and gases than the Earth. Only the next generation of telescopes will allow us to tell what these new worlds and their atmospheres are made of and to search for possible indications of life on these planets. However, theoretical investigations are possible today and can be a great help in identifying targets for these future observations.

Extractions: The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, about to be released from Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1991 April. The eight BATSE detector modules are mounted on the corners of the satellite. Four are visible in the image. T he Burst and Transient Source Experiment. During 9 years of successful operation, the BATSE detectors on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) continually recorded observations of gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, and other transient gamma-ray phenomena. Although the CGRO mission was terminated by NASA in June 2000, new science from BATSE and complete data archiving projects continue to occupy members of the GRA team and provide services to the high-energy astrophysics community.

Calphysics Institute
The Calphysics Institute focuses on research in electrodynamics, relativity, gravitation, inertia and the quantum vacuum zero point field.
http://www.calphysics.org/

Extractions: Director The primary mission of the Calphysics Institute is to carry out research on the electromagnetic quantum vacuum, with emphasis on the formulation and execution of experiments to elucidate the properties of the quantum vacuum and to search for possible technological applications. The Calphysics Institute is the research organization led by Bernard Haisch, president of the non-profit Digital Universe Foundation. The Digital Universe is creating a global collaboration of experts and educators to collaboratively build a free, public-service oriented, non-commercial subset of the Web that will become a trustworthy and visually engaging repository of human knowledge, ultimately evolving into the kind of "Encyclopedia Galactica" envisioned by Carl Sagan. This research program began as an informal collaboration between A. Rueda and B. Haisch in 1991 to investigate the possible role of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum in astrophysics and in areas of fundamental physics. Studies were carried out at the California State University in Long Beach (Rueda) and both the Lockheed Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory in Palo Alto and the Max Planck Institute fuer extraterrestrische Physik in Garching, Germany (Haisch). These investigations resulted in publication of the papers "Inertia as a zero-point field Lorentz force" by Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff in the Physical Review (Vol. 48, pp. 678-694, 1994) and "Vacuum Zero-point Field Pressure Instability in Astrophysical Plasmas and the Formation of Cosmic Voids" by Rueda, Haisch and Cole in the Astrophysical Journal (Vol. 445. pp. 7-16, 1995).
