NASA - Top Story - neutron star explosion reveals inner accretion disk (1278 words)
Scientists at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) and NASA have captured unprecedented details of the swirling flow of gas hovering just a few miles from the surface of a neutron star, itself a sphere only about ten miles (16 km) across.
Scientists say these superbursts are caused by a buildup of nuclear ash in the form of carbon from the helium fusion.
The scientists said the bursting neutron stars serve as a laboratory to study accretion disks, which are seen (but in less detail) throughout the Universe around nearby stellar fl holes and exceedingly distant quasar galaxies.
Movie Scientists: Beyond Their Time (2270 words)
The scientist as god, or the good scientist, is one of two seminal types of science fiction/horror movie scientists.
Within the films, the good scientists realize that they are "playing god" but cannot turn away from their pursuits until it is too late.
Like their evil counterparts, the bad scientists of the next session, they make choices in the pursuit of science that prove unacceptable to societal norms and cause their personal destruction.
