Doubted Exoplanet 'Back from the Dead' | Synopsis

Doubted Exoplanet 'Back from the Dead'

Excerpt:

%%SPIN0%% appearance at data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is reanimating the claim that the neighboring star Fomalhaut hosts a massive exoplanet. The research recommends that the planet, named Fomalhaut b, is an uncommon and possibly unique item that is totally shrouded by dust. Fomalhaut is the brightest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus and lies 25 light-years away. In November 2008, Hubble astronomers announced the exoplanet, named Fomalhaut b, as the first one ever directly imaged in noticeable light around yet another star. The item was imaged just inside a large ring of fragments surrounding but balanced out from the host star. The planet's place and mass-- no even more than 3 times Jupiter's-- appeared just right for its gravity to explain the ring's appearance . Current researches have declared that this planetary interpretation is inaccurate .

Greek strike shuts down country as austerity vote looms

Excerpt:

Demostrators yell mottos throughout a protest against a new government austerity costs on the second day of a 48-hour basic strike in Thessaloniki, Greece on Wednesday November 3, 2012. Athens, Greece (CNN)-- Greece was gripped by a general strike Wednesday for a second day, as lawmakers prepared to vote on a new round of austerity measures that lots of people oppose as too painful for the country to bear. 10s of thousands of protesters are anticipated to take to the roads of the capital later on to demonstrate against more cuts. Greek media are anticipating a cliffhanger in parliament late Wednesday evening , with passage of the austerity measures anticipated by just a handful of votes . Parliament's economic affairs task force approved the costs late Tuesday. If legislators do not pass the austerity measures, it will certainly threaten the payout of the next worldwide bailout installment of 31.
