Over the past 25 years astronomers have observed thousands exoplanets – planets that orbit stars other than the Sun. So, it stands to reason that alien astronomers on exoplanets may have observed Earth. Now, Lisa Kaltenegger , director of Cornell University’s Carl Sagan Institute, and astrophysicist Jackie Faherty , a senior scientist at the American Museum of Natural History have created a catalogue of nearly 2000 nearby stars from which an observer on an exoplanet could spot Earth using the tr

Flow velocity in the fuel/oxidizer injectors and combustion chamber during combustion oscillations in a model of a rocket engine. (Courtesy: Hiroshi Gotoda). Researchers in Japan have identified a feedback loop that drives damaging combustion oscillations in rocket engines. They found that thermoacoustic power sources created as the oxidizer and fuel flow into the engine’s combustion chamber lead to highly synchronized fluctuations in fuel flow, pressure and heat.
