Cannibal stars like their food hot, XMM-Newton reveals
ESA’s XMM-Newton has seen vast clouds of superheated gas, whirling around miniature stars and escaping from being devoured by the stars’ enormous gravitational fields - giving a new insight into the eating habits of the galaxy’s ‘cannibal’ stars. http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM7T6OVGJE_index_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Great news, but as usual ESA news items have been rare
 It also helped out in Comet missions http://heasarc.nasa.gov/docs/xmm_lc/archiv...1/03_21_01.html http://astrobiology.arc.nasa.gov/news/expa...ws.cfm?id=10335 http://xmm.sonoma.edu/news/archive/2005/07_04_05.html Deep impact Tempel 1 |

XMM-Newton 'spare-time' provides impressive sky survey
For the past four years, while ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has been slewing between different targets ready for the next observation, it has kept its cameras open and used this spare time to quietly look at the heavens. The result is a 'free-of-charge' mission spin-off – a survey that has now covered an impressive 25 percent of the sky. Full story: http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEMA7OOFGLE_index_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse.
