The findings were revealed in new models of the planet’s impact history based on its mineral composition. *A new contender in the fight to understand dark matter The road to understanding dark matter is littered with failed hypothesis. MACHOS are dead, and WIMPS are a no show so far. So, say hello to Strongly Interacting Massive ParticleS or SIMPS. *New mission to search for life on the Saturnian moon Enceladus Russian physicist and entrepreneur Uri Milner is backing a new private venture to search for the building blocks of life around the Saturnian ice moon Enceladus. Breakthrough Initiatives -- a program founded by the billionaire tech investor is now workshopping the idea which would take over from where NASA’s Cassini mission left off. *Plate tectonic activity on Europa New computer simulations indicated that the Jovian ice moon Europa may have plate tectonics similar to Earth. The findings could have important implications for providing chemical nutrients to any potential life forms in the ocean beneath the moon’s frozen surface. *December Skywatch We check out the night skies of December – not only was there another so called supermoon – but the source of this month’s Geminids meteor show – the asteroid 3200 Phaethon makes its closest approach to Earth in 40 years. *The Science Report New study confirms male circumcision and antiviral drugs dramatically reduce HIV-AIDS infections. New extinct species of marsupial lion discovered in north-western Queensland. New study finds possible genetic factors in male sexual orientation. And we answer the question “are dogs smarted than cats?

The findings have shocked scientists as regions around black holes are wracked by powerful gravitational tidal forces and bathed in intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation -- generating extremely harsh conditions which shouldn’t favour star formation. *Rosetta gives a recipe for making a comet. Scientists have developed the recipe for making a comet. The findings based on data from the Rosetta spacecraft provides the first quantitative analysis of the chemical elements that make up the cometary dust of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. *Buccaneer in stable orbit Mission managers at the University of New South Wales say the Buccaneer satellite has attained stable orbit and is operating nominally. Buccaneer was deployed aboard the joint NASA-NOAA JPSS-1 weather satellite mission which flew from Space Launch Complex 2W at the Vandenberg Airforce base in California last month. *Russian Rocket launch failure after wrong co-ordinates programmed Russia’s second launch from its shiny new Vostochny cosmodrome in country’s far east has ended in a multi-million-dollar disaster losing the mission’s 19 satellites. Early indications point to the wrong settings being programmed into the Soyuz Fregat upper stage booster causing the mission to crash and burn. *The latest on North Korea’s new Hwasong-15 Intercontinental ballistic missile Pyongyang’s new images showing its new Hwason-15 missile far more than just an improvement in design over the Hwasong-14 flown in July. The new missile gives North Korea an effective range of over 13,000 kilometres -- enough to hit most of the continental United States east coast, as well as Europe and Australia. *The Science Report The link between the amount of time between pregnancies and Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. A new way of turning Carbon dioxide emissions from power plants into potential fuels. Claims of a new cure for baldness. Elon Musk wins his bet to build the world’s biggest battery in under a hundred days. Bad news for bigfoot fans.

Instead, physicists suggest the universe’s current expansion phase was preceded by a big crunch contraction and possibly a bouncing universe with infinite prior cycles of expansion and contraction. *The next nearest planet to our solar system A temperate Earth-sized planet has been discovered just 11 light-years away. The new world named Ross 128 b is currently the second-closest temperate planet ever detected – the nearest being Proxima b which orbits the star Proxima Centauri some 4.25 light years from Earth. *Dawn explores Ceres’ interior evolution Scientists have begun studying the internal structure and composition of the dwarf planet Ceres finding a close relationship between its internal evolution and its surface features. The findings used data collected by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft to analyse Ceres’ surface features revealing clues about the dwarf planet’s interior evolution. *Blue Origin to Launch its New Glenn Rocket in 2020 Blue Origin claims its massive heavy lift New Glenn rocket should be ready for its maiden flight in 2020. The New Glenn is a two or three stage orbital launch vehicle capable of carrying 45 tonnes into low Earth orbit and 13 tonnes to geostationary transfer orbit. *The Science Report North Korea has successfully launched its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile. Autism sufferers have problem reading human emotions because of altered chemical responses. Big Sugar covering up the harmful health effects of too much sugar since the 1960s.

A new hypothesis attempts to explain both the accelerating expansion of the universe and the movement of stars in galaxies without needing to draw on the concepts of dark matter and dark energy. *Murchison Widefield Array construction completes phase two The Murchison Widefield Array has reached a key milestone in its ongoing development, with the completion of its phase two expansion. The work which has taken nearly 16 months, includes 128 new antenna stations at the observatory site in outback Western Australia. *Is antimatter the hidden face of lightning Terrestrial Gamma Rays Flashes produced in lightning from thunderstorms can also generate antimatter. New research claims Terrestrial Gamma Rays Flashes react with the air to produce radioisotopes and positrons -- the antimatter counterpart of electrons. *Trojan Martian asteroids created by sunlight A new study claims some of the trojan asteroids orbiting with Mars could have been created by sunlight. While many of the Sun’s family of planets have trojans – Mars is the only terrestrial planet known to have trojans in stable orbits. *China 14th rocket launch for 2017 China’s busy rocket launch program is still in top gear with it 14th launch for 2017 blasting in to orbit. The latest mission – the third for the month -- involved a Long March 2C rocket flying from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwestern China’s Sichuan province. *The Science Report Earth about to enter a mild La Nina weather pattern either in late December or early 2018. 40 per cent of adolescents with food allergies are experiencing frequent allergic reactions.

The conclusions provide an alternative to previous speculation that the features – known as recurring slope lineae or RSLs – were caused by flowing meltwater from permafrost layers seeping out from the sides of gullies and ravines. *Could cosmic dust be transporting life between worlds? A new study suggests that life on Earth might have originated from biological particles brought to the planet in streams of cosmic dust particles. The findings would mean fast-moving flows of interplanetary dust that continually bombard Earth’s atmosphere could deliver tiny organisms from far-off worlds, or send Earth-based organisms to other planets, according to the research. *Listening for alien signals. Way back on August the 15tjh 1977 astronomers at Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope supporting the SETI Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence picked up a strange and very strong narrow band radio signal coming from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. Now a new campaign is underway to listen for alien signals – not from Sagittarius but from M-31 Andromeda. *NASA Launches NOAA Weather Satellite to Improve Forecasts The penultimate launch of a Delta II rocket has successfully placed the first of a new generation of advanced weather satellites into a Sun synchronous orbit. The Joint Polar Satellite System-1 or JPSS-1 blasted into deep black early morning skies from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California. *Maxus-9 provides a little microgravity The European Space Agency has launched a Maxus sounding rocket to see how microgravity effects microorganisms. The mission which blasted off from Sweden’s Esrange Space Center-- flew on a sub-orbital ballistic trajectory delivering its five onboard experiments to the edge of space. *The Science Report A new weapon in the fight against peanut allergies. The link between mother’s weight during pregnancy and life-threatening childbirth complications. Just like people new studies show Budgies sweat. NASA finds a mantle plume deep below Antarctica's Marie Byrd Land. Health experts urging governments to consider suing big tobacco over public health costs.

The new observations show the object -- known as 1i/2017 U1 -- measures some 180 by 30 meters and is shaped like a fat cigar, half a city block long. *Why the star Regulus is almost ripping apart A new study of the star Regulus indicates it’s almost spinning fast enough to literally rip itself apart. The findings reported in the journal Nature Astronomy show the star has a spin rate of 96.5 per cent of its angular velocity needed for break-up. *Another gravity wave discovery from merging black holes Scientists have confirmed another detection of gravitational waves generated by the collision of two stellar mass back holes. This latest detection involved the merger of two relatively light black holes, with 7 and 12 times the mass of the Sun -- a billion light years away. *Pluto’s freezer explained A new study of Pluto’s atmosphere may explain why the dwarf planet at the outer rim of the solar system is so much colder than predicted. The findings indicate a novel cooling mechanism controlled by haze particles could account for Pluto’s frigid atmosphere. *Pulsars ruled out of antimatter excess Scientists have ruled out two nearby pulsars as possible sources for a mysterious excess of anti-matter particles discovered near Earth. In 2008, astronomers observed an unexpectedly high number of positrons -- the anti-matter counterparts to electrons -- in orbit just a few hundred kilometres above the planet. *The Science Report Explaining why people with autism find it difficult to look directly at other people Claims salty diets may raise blood pressure by killing off gut bacteria. The new study confirming that drinkers and smokers really do get old earlier. The world’s largest dinosaur tracks. The birth of modern wine-making traced back to early Tuscany.

It’s the first time such a large planet has been seen orbiting such a low mass host star. *Possible ancient ocean remnants found on Ceres Scientists have detected widespread reserves of minerals containing water on the dwarf planet Ceres. The discovery by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft suggests that the 945 kilometre wide world may have once had a global ocean and may still have liquid today. *The Rochechouart Astrobleme Geologists have begun an intense core drilling campaign at Rochechouart in central France to study an astrobleme. The Rochechouart Astrobleme is thought to be the remains of a 20 to 30 kilometre wide 207 million year old impact crater. *New clues to the origin of life on Earth Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute have found a compound that may have been a crucial factor in the origins of life on Earth. Origins-of-life researchers have hypothesized that a chemical reaction called phosphorylation may have been crucial for the assembly of three key ingredients in early life forms: *Antares launches Cygnus bound for the International Space Station A Cygnus cargo ship has successfully launched aboard an Antares rocket bound for the International Space Station. The Cygnus OA-8 blasted off from Orbital’s Wallops Island launch pad on the Virginian mid-Atlantic coast on a two-day journey to the orbiting outpost. *Orbital launches Minotaur-C rocket Orbital has launched a Minotaur-C rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California carrying ten new satellites into orbit. The launch system was renamed Minotaur from its original name of Taurus following a series of spectacular launch failures which darkened the Taurus name. The Taurus XL became the Minotaur C, while the Taurus II was renamed the Antares. *The Science Report Eating at night associated with higher risk of heart disease and diabetes.

The strange star appears to have somehow survived its initial brush with death to undertake a second supernova explosion fifty years later. *Hunting dark photons Scientists are searching for signs of new particles that might help fill in some big blanks in sciences understanding of the universe. The new research is hunting for the hiding places for one type of theorized particle known as the dark photon - that was proposed to help explain the mystery of dark matter. *The link between a galaxy’s shape and its spin. Astronomers have discovered a link between a galaxies shape and how fast it rotates. The findings follow the recent discovery by a separate team linking a galaxy’s rotation in a galactic cluster to its mass rather than the density of the surrounding cluster. . *Juno completes its eighth orbit of Jupiter NASA’s Juno spacecraft has successfully completed its eighth swoop down towards the swirling cloud tops of Jupiter -- the solar system’s largest planet. Confirmation of the successful orbit was delayed by several days due to solar conjunction at Jupiter, which affected communications during the days prior to and after the flyby. *Rare white dwarf-brown dwarf binary studied Astronomers have studied a rare White Dwarf – Brown Dwarf binary star system which has shown them how some stars can be demoted into white dwarfs by their companion star’s feeding frenzy. The system is among the lowest mass stellar objects ever observed. *Vega launches new Moroccan spy satellite A Vega rocket has successfully launched a new Moroccan spy satellite. The Mohammed VI-A is the first of two new top secret optical imaging high resolution surveillance satellites being built for the Kingdom of Morocco. *The Science Report Western Australian coral bleaching event now the world’s worst ever.

The findings are based on a detailed study of over than 300 galaxies. *Introducing the quarksplosion Scientists have discovered the quarksplosion -- a blast that could be eight times more powerful than any thermonuclear bomb. Physicists have discovered that fusing two sub atomic elementary particles -- known as beauty or bottom quarks -- could result in the creation of a new primary particle, a secondary particle known as a nucleon and the release of huge amounts of energy -- some eight times more -- than a nuclear fusion reaction. *Powering Enceladus active ocean Heat from friction could power hydrothermal activity on Saturn's moon Enceladus for billions of years if the moon has a highly porous core. The new findings helps resolve a question scientists have grappled with for a decade: Where does the energy to power the extraordinary geologic activity on Enceladus come from? *One of the oldest objects in the universe Astronomers have discovered one of most distant galaxies ever seen dating back some 12.8 billion years. The findings provide new insights into the early history of the universe. *SpaceX make it 16 in a row SpaceX has just launched its 16th rocket this year – new record for the California company which has now flown the Falcon 9 more times than any other launch service provider has flown any other rocket. The SpaceX Falcon 9 blasted off from Kennedy Space Centre pad 39A at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida carrying the KoreaSat-5A telecommunications satellite into geostationary transfer orbit. *The Science Report 2017 is on track to be among the hottest years on record. Why push ups and sit ups could add years to your life. Warnings that attempted suicide is significantly more common among those who did badly at school.

The 400 metre wide newly discovered asteroid or comet has been designated A/2017 U1. *Asteroid Itokawa’s violent past Samples of the Asteroid Itokawa indicate the 500 metre wide space rock has had a violent history. The samples were collected by Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft in 2005. *Rosetta’s comet provides missing link in planet formation Scientists have confirmed that planets are created by small particles of matter coming together over time to form progressively larger and larger bodies. The findings provide an important missing link in sciences understanding of how planets are formed. *Galaxies wobble at the centres of galaxy clusters Existing models on dark matter claim the super dense cores of the largest galaxy clusters contain massive galaxies with so much dark matter that that they never move. However new observations have shown that this density is much smaller than predicted, and that the galaxies at the centres of these clusters do move -- or at least wobble. *Yellowstone spawned twin super-eruptions that altered global climate Scientists have discovered that the last eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano was a double header event with two massive explosions spaced just 170 years apart. The findings are based on an analysis of volcanic ash which spewed from Yellowstone during the super eruptions 630 thousand years ago. *The Science Report New findings indicate European drought trends are lining up with climate change projections. Evidence that a huge carnivorous dinosaur roamed southern Africa 200 million year ago. Over 100 genetic risk factors linked to asthma, hay fever and eczema.

Well, a team of scientists think it’s a basic cosmic characteristic – which may just explain why we live in a universe with three spatial dimensions. and it may even explain how the universe formed. *Titan’s noxious ice clouds Scientists have discovered a toxic band of high altitude ice clouds above the south pole of Saturn’s largest moon Titan. The noxious stratospheric cloud cover was detected floating about 160 to 210 kilometres above the surface -- far higher than the methane rain clouds in Titan’s troposphere. *Whatever happened to the Beagle 2 A new scientific paper looking at the discovery of Britain’s Beagle 2 Mars lander has been published in the open science journal of the Royal Society. The findings detail efforts to locate the 32 kilogram probe which disappeared after being deployed from the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter on December 19 2003. *New study looking at the Top Quark Physicists at CERN are joining forces to study the most massive elementary particle known. The top quark is almost as massive as an atom of gold, but is far less understood than other quarks. *Virgin Galactic’s hopes to reach space this year Virgin Galactic says it’s VSS Unity spaceplane should reach space before the end of the year. The announcement follows a series of six successful release drop and glide tests involving the 8 seater air launched spacecraft. *Another space station planned for the Moon Bigelow Aerospace and the United Launch Alliance have announced plans to place a B330 inflatable habitat module into lunar orbit by 2022 using United’s new Vulcan rocket.

Beijing says the eight and a half tone orbiting outpost is expected to re-enter the atmosphere between now and April next year -- depending on orbital decay rates. *Back to the Moon US Vice President Mike Pence has called on NASA to return humans to the Moon. The call comes in the wake of Russia’s announcement that it will join the United States in building the new Deep Space Gateway space station which will be positioned in near lunar space. *How a cold frozen Mars could have carved the planet’s warm wet features Scientists say periodic melting of ice sheets on a cold early Mars would have created enough water to carve the ancient valleys and lakebeds seen on the surface of the red planet today. Water-carved valleys and lakebeds leave little doubt that water once flowed on the surface. *The first detailed spectra of antimatter hydrogen Scientists with the ALPHA Collaboration have successfully obtained the first detailed spectrum of the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen. The findings reported in the journal Nature show that the spectral lines of antihydrogen match those of normal hydrogen. *Sentinel-5P launch The European Space Agency’s new Sentinel 5P Earth observation satellite has successfully blasted into orbit aboard a Russian Rockot rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome north of Moscow.
