* Bizarre looking white dwarf star
Astronomers have identified an unusual white dwarf star that may be the leftover remains of a recently discovered new type of “sub-luminous” supernova.  The findings also point to more than one process for generating these powerful cataclysmic stellar explosions.
 
*First X-rays detected from thermonuclear supernovae
Astronomers have for the first time detected x-rays coming from exploding stars known as thermonuclear or type 1a supernovae.  Type 1a supernovae has helped scientists develop their current understanding of the universe, but researchers are still in the dark about many of their features.
 
*A new look at how the Earth was formed
New geochemical research indicates that existing theories of the formation of the Earth could be wrong.  The claims are based on experiments looking at how the element zinc relates to sulphur under the conditions present at the time of the Earth’s formation some 4.6 billion years ago.
 
*Taiwanese science mission blasts into orbit
Space X has continued its rocket launching blitz with Taiwan’s Formosat-5 blasting into orbit aboard a Falcon 9. The flight from the Vandenberg air force base in California, placed the 475 kilogram remote sensing satellite into a 720 kilometre high low Earth orbit.
 
*The Science Report
Older lesbian, gay and bisexual people more likely than older heterosexuals to suffer chronic health conditions.
Paleontologists have discovered a new species of sauropod dinosaur in southwestern Tanzania.
New study finds emotional facial expressions of people influences how humans perceive smells.
The new high-tech yarns that generate electricity when they are stretched or twisted.
It looks like humans on the Italian peninsula have been making wine far longer than previously thought.

* Diamonds rain on Neptune and Uranus
Scientists have created diamond rain during experiments mimicking the conditions deep inside the giant ice planets Uranus and Neptune. The findings represent the first time diamond rain was created in the laboratory under the sorts of extreme pressures and conditions likely to occur inside the solar systems ice giants.
 
*Large, distant comets more common than previously thought
A new study has warned that there are far more long period comets out there than previously thought. The findings are based on observations by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer or WISE spacecraft.
 
*Impact winter from the dinosaur killing asteroid could have thrust Earth into two years of darkness
A new study claims the tremendous amounts of soot lofted into the air from global wildfires following the asteroid impact which wiped out all the non-avian dinosaurs together with 75 percent of all other life on Earth 66 million years ago, would have plunged the planet into darkness for nearly two years. The findings indicate the fires and ejecta debris from the impact would have shut down photosynthesis, as well as drastically cooling the planet, dramatically changing the climate and further contributing to the mass extinction that marked the end of the age of dinosaurs.
 
*Japan launches new navigation satellite
The Japanese Aerospace eXploration Agency JAXA has successfully launched an H-IIA rocket carrying a new Japanese Navigation system satellite. The H-IIA F35 mission blasted off under clear blue skies from the Tanegashima Space Centre south of Tokyo carrying the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System spacecraft – the MICHIBIKI 3 -- into geostationary transfer orbit.
 
*The Science Report
A new tool that helps physicians identify a sub-group of people with Autism spectrum disorders.

* Galaxies at the cosmic dawn
Astronomers have peered back to the dawn of time -- discovering 23 young galaxies, seen as they were just 800 million years after the Big Bang. The findings reported in the Astrophysical Journal represent one of the deepest ever observations into the 13.8 billion year old universe.

*Cassini begins its final orbits around Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has entered new territory in its final mission phase, the grand finale, as embarks on a set of ultra-close passes through Saturn's upper atmosphere with its final five orbits around the ringed world.
Cassini completed the first of these five passes over Saturn on Monday.

*The ancient Earth was a water world
A new analysis of mineral grains indicates that the ancient Earth was most likely a water world -- barren, flat, and almost entirely under water with only a few small islands sticking out above the surface. The findings are based on a study of 4.4 billion year old zircon mineral grains preserved in sandstone rocks in the Jack Hills of Western Australia – which are among the oldest fragments of the Earth ever found. 

 *High velocity stars speeding through the galaxy
Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite have discovered six high velocity stars that appear to have been flung out from the galactic centre by close encounters with the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole.  The findings reported in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society could provide scientists with key information about some of the most obscure regions of the Milky Way galaxy.

*Astronomers revised their projections about asteroid 2012 TC4
An asteroid which could have missed the Earth by as little as 6800 kilometres will now fly by the planet at a more comfortable distance of 44 thousand kilometres. The 15 to 30 metre wide space rock will pass the Earth on October 12.

*The Science Report
It’s official, 2016 was the hottest year on record, and climate change caused by anthropological greenhouse gas emissions is to blame.
New study finds increasing vitamin B3 intake dramatically reduce the risk of miscarriage and multiple births defects.
Humans may have left Africa and arrived in Southeast Asia 20,000 years earlier than previously thought.
A new record for fastest light pulse.
A new study into the domestication of the modern dog.

* An Earth-like atmosphere may not survive Proxima b's orbit
Proxima B -- the nearest known exoplanet to our solar system is probably a dead world despite being in the habitable zone of its host star Proxima Centauri. Any Earth sized world would most likely be unable to hold onto an atmosphere -- leaving its surface exposed to harmful stellar radiation and reducing its potential for habitability.
 
*New clues in determining the size of a black hole
Astronomers have discovered what could be an easy way to determine the size of a spiral galaxy’s supermassive black hole. They’ve found a direct relationship between the geometry of some types of spiral galaxies and the hidden super massive black hole at their centres.
 
*Calm seas on Titan could mean smooth landing for future space probes
Astronomers have determined that the lakes and seas on the Saturnian moon Titan have few waves higher than a centimetre. The findings mean the giant moon probably has little wind – the primary driving force for waves on the oceans of Earth.
 
*Huge storm on Neptune
Astronomers have detected a massive storm as big as the Earth on the distant planet Neptune. This massive 9000 kilometer wide storm system was found in Neptune’s equatorial region – a zone where no bright clouds have ever been seen before.
 
*Skywatching on the road
The neat little portable telescopes you can take with you when you’re travelling.
 
*The Science Report
Loneliness and social isolation poses a greater public health hazard than obesity
Man-made climate change to cause 60,000 deaths globally in the year 2030
People who survive a stroke without early complications have increased risk of death, another stroke or heart attack for at least 5 years,
Two remarkably different animal communities around two relatively nearby hydrothermal deep sea vents
Humans can identify emotions in the voices of all air-breathing vertebrates.

*New evidence supporting supernova shock wave theory of solar system's origins
Astronomers have found more evidence supporting the longstanding theory that our solar system’s formation 4.6 billion years ago -- was triggered by a shock wave from an exploding supernova. The study based on evidence of the iron 60 isotopes in meteorites indicate that a supernova shock wave is still the most-plausible origin story for explaining the short lived radioactive isotopes in our Solar System
 
*A new window in the hunt for molecular signatures in deep space
Astronomers have begun using one of the precursor radio telescopes for the Square Kilometre Array project to study molecular signatures which could lead to the detection of complex molecules that are precursors to life. The team are using the Murchison Widefield Array to undertake the observations focusing on the molecular gas and dust clouds from which new generations of stars are born.
 
*New clues about superluminous supernovae
Astronomers have detected an extraordinarily bright supernova in a surprising location. This supernova discovery challenges current ideas of how and where such super-charged supernovas occur.
 
*Vega lofts two satellites on second launch this year
An Arianespace Vega rocket has successfully launched two satellites into orbit. The mission blasted off into late night skies from the European Space Agency’s Kourou Space Port in French Guyana.
 
*Western fears grow as Iran and North Korea conduct illegal missile tests
Sanctions have been placed on both North Korea and Iran after the two rogue nations carried out new missile tests over the past few weeks. Most attention has focused on North Korea which has carried out numerous missile tests in recent months the other member of the so-called axis of evil – Iran -- has also continued its own missile program with a launch on July 27th in breach of United Nations security council resolution 2231.
 
*The Science Report
It may be too late to stop the planet heating up by two degrees, How drinking alcohol could improve your memory, A new expedition to an undersea continent east of Australia, New research into melanoma, How cats domesticated themselves – when they were ready.

*The Sun’s core rotates nearly four times faster than its surface
Astronomers have discovered that the Sun’s core rotates four times faster than its surface. The findings open a new window into solar physics – providing new insights into the Sun’s internal structure and composition.
 
*Weighing a distant black hole
Astronomers have used to rotational speed cold gas clouds in a distant galaxy to make the most precise measurements ever of the mass of the supermassive black hole at its centre. The team found that the supermassive black hole which resides in the heart of the galaxy NGC1332 has about 660 million times the mass of the Sun.
 
*Titans lakes fizz like soda pop
New data indicates the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan might occasionally erupt with dramatic patches of bubbles. Researchers simulated the frigid surface conditions on Titan, finding that significant amounts of nitrogen can be dissolved in the extremely cold liquid methane that rains from the skies and collects in rivers, lakes and seas.
 
*August Skywatch
The Perseids meteor shower reaches its peak this month.
 
*The Science Report
Depression causes physical changes in the brain, Concerns about new stalking apps, How a healthy lifestyle can add over ten years to your life expectancy, The importance of wetland protection, The link between high fat diets in pregnant women and depression in their children, Climate change impacting on endangered species.

*Planet Earth’s close asteroid encounter
On October 12 an asteroid known as 2012 TC4 will fly just 6800 kilometres above the surface of the Earth - far below the orbits of many satellites. The 40 metre wide asteroid won’t hit the Earth this time – but it will be about as close as possible while still passing safely.
 
*The mystery of the cosmic cold spot deepens
Astronomers are still at a loss to explain a giant cosmic cold spot in their large-scale maps of the universe. A new study has ruled out the most likely suspect – a gigantic supervoid – leaving the door open for more exotic explanations like a collision between universes.
 
*Evidence the Higgs turns into quarks
There’s new evidence that the Higgs Boson decays into smaller elemental quark particles. Physicists with the Atlas experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider are reporting the decay of the Higgs into a pair of bottom quarks – one of six types or flavours of quark particle.
 
*New crew arrive on station
A Russian Soyuz rocket has blasted into orbit carrying three new crew members bound for the international space station. The Soyuz FG rocket launched into evening skies from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Central Asian Republic of Kazakhstan on a six hour four-orbit fast rendezvous flight to the orbiting outpost.
 
*Science Report
Glial Cells linked to schizophrenia, Sea surface temperatures triggering droughts in in North America and around the Mediterranean, How the Sahara changed from lush green pastures into desert, Illegal trade puts Pangolins at risk of extinction, & New CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of cancer tumor cells.
