http://www.cfa.harvard.edu//press/ CfA Press Releases en-us http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200808.html April 07, 2008: The leading method of finding planets orbiting distant stars spots mostly Jupiter-sized worlds. Technology limitations make it difficult to detect smaller planets. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200807.html March 11, 2008: A team of scientists and engineers has been selected by NASA to study design concepts for a radio telescope destined for the far side of the Moon. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200806.html March 11, 2008: Four proposals for next-generation astronomy missions, which were developed by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), have received NASA funding for yearlong studies. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200805.html February 18, 2008: Astronomers have discovered that rocky, terrestrial planets might orbit many, if not most, of the nearby sun-like stars in the disk of our galaxy. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200804.html February 11, 2008: Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200803.html January 11, 2008: Having the sharpest pictures always is a big advantage, and a sophisticated radio-astronomy technique using continent-wide and even intercontinental arrays of telescopes is yielding extremely valuable scientific results in a wide range of specialties. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200802.html January 09, 2008: Our planet is changing before our eyes, and as a result, many species are living on the edge. Yet Earth has been on the edge of habitability from the beginning. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2008/pr200801.html January 09, 2008: Astronomers announced today that a mystery object orbiting a star 170 light-years from Earth might have formed from the collision and merger of two protoplanets. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200734.html December 26, 2007: Astronomers have found the best evidence yet of matter spiraling outward from a young, still-forming star in fountain-like jets. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200733.html December 18, 2007: A furious rate of star formation discovered in a distant galaxy shows that galaxies in the early universe developed either much faster or in a different way from what astronomers have thought. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200732.html December 06, 2007: The Sun is minimally active right now, but this quiet state of affairs won't last for long. Over the next few years, the number of solar flares and eruptions known as coronal mass ejections will increase until reaching solar maximum in 2011 or 2012. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200731.html November 26, 2007: Comet 17P/Holmes, which dazzled sky watchers with a dramatic outburst that made it visible to the unaided eye, now is fading from sight. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200730.html November 05, 2007: In an unprecedented flurry of honors, three astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) have been recognized for their innovative work by three leading national magazines. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200729.html November 01, 2007: Astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) have found that a supernova discovered last year was caused by two colliding white dwarf stars. http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200728.html October 30, 2007: Using two NASA satellites, astronomers have discovered a black hole that obliterates a record announced just two weeks ago.
