Hurricane-sized whirlpools filmed on the Sun Read more: http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn14878?DCMP=youtube Material in the outer 30% of the Sun is thought to rise and fall in churning cells. After the hot material rises, it releases energy and falls downwards. Because it already has some sideways motion, calculations show this cooler plasma should spiral into the Sun as it falls like water running down a bathtub drain. These whirlpools - about the size of hurricanes on Earth - have been imaged for the first time by a team using the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope in Spain (Courtesy of Bonet et al./IAC/UV/SST) Tags: sun convection whirlpool |

Hiding magnets in blood brings scans into focus Fluorescent particles added to red blood cells which make them glow when exposed to infrared light. This allows imaging of the movement of individual blood cells through capillaries at the back of the eye in rabbits.

Hunting for the shadows of distant solar system bodies Read more: http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn14858?DCMP=youtube Some objects in the distant ring of icy bodies called the Kuiper Belt are too small to observe by the sunlight they reflect. So astronomers are looking for their shadows. They monitor thousands of stars simultaneously in the hopes that one will be dimmed by the passing of an intervening small Kuiper Belt Object. The KBO transit event would last less than a second, and as this animation shows, any detection would be dependent on the star, KBO, and telescopes being perfectly aligned (Courtesy of National Central University, Taiwan) Tags: kuiper belt space transit |
