Sentences with phrase «space dust collisions»

Professor Arjun Berera, from the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy, who led the study, said: «The proposition that space dust collisions could propel organisms over enormous distances between planets raises some exciting prospects of how life and the atmospheres of planets originated.

Frequent collisions between asteroids, such as the one depicted toward the right, send streams of dust into the belt, making it visible to the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Earth's life - sustaining liquid came from the dust from which the planet was born, a new look at these particles suggests, and not simply from collisions with objects that later crashed into the planet from space.
On January 10, 2005, astronomers using the infrared Spitzer Space Telescope announced that the dust disk is bigger than previously estimated and was probably created by collisions of protoplanetary objects as big as the planet Pluto, up to 2,000 kilometers (about 1,200 miles) in diameter (press release — more below).
