| Thursday, August 21, 2008 - Air circulates above the Earth in four distinct cells, with two either side of the equator, says new research out today (21 August) in Science.
The new observational study describes how air rises and falls in the atmosphere above the Earth’s surface, creating the world’s weather.

| Stellare Totgeburten: Forscher entlarven braune Zwerge als dritte Klasse von Himmelskörpern neben Sternen und Planeten |
| Thursday, August 21, 2008 - Die Systematik kosmischer Körper muss offenbar überarbeitet werden. Forscher am Argelander-Institut für Astronomie der Universität Bonn haben herausgefunden, dass braune Zwerge als eine eigene Klasse neben Sternen und Planeten behandelt werden müssen. Bisher hielt man sie nur für zu klein geratene Sterne. Möglicherweise sind sie jedoch regelrechte stellare "Fehlgeburten". Die Wissenschaftler veröffentlichen ihre Ergebnisse in der Fachzeitschrift Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |
