Researchers don't fully understand the Geminids, and new measurements make it more mysterious than ever. </p> <p>Please vote for this podcast at <a href="http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=825">PodcastAlley</a>! </p> <p><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/12/06/story_geminids.mp3">Get this podcast story. </a></p> no http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/02dec_monolake/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/02dec_monolake/ Thu, 02 Dec 2010 14:00:00 CST 03:44 <p><img src="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/12/02/thumbnail.jpg" align="right" style="padding: 5px;" /> NASA-supported researchers have discovered the first known microorganism on Earth able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic. The microorganism, which lives in California's Mono Lake, substitutes arsenic for phosphorus in the backbone of its DNA. </p> <p>Please vote for this podcast at <a href="http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=825">PodcastAlley</a>! </p> <p><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/12/02/story_monolake.mp3">Get this podcast story. </a></p> no http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/23nov_aliencomets/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/23nov_aliencomets/ Tue, 23 Nov 2010 14:00:00 CST 03:44 <p><img src="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/11/23/thumbnail.jpg" align="right" style="padding: 5px;" /> Some of the comets in our Solar System probably came from other stars, according to new research by NASA-supported scientists. Studying these 'alien' comets, they say, could reveal new information about stellar systems far, far away. </p> <p>Please vote for this podcast at <a href="http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=825">PodcastAlley</a>! </p> <p><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/11/23/story_aliencomets2.mp3">Get this podcast story. </a></p> no http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/13oct_asteroidcollision2/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/13oct_asteroidcollision2/ Wed, 13 Oct 2010 00:00:00 CST 03:44 <p><img src="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/10/13/thumbnail.jpg" align="right" style="padding: 5px;" /> NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured rare images of a suspected asteroid collision. The snapshots show a bizarre X-shaped object at the head of a comet-like trail of material. Their findings will be published in the Oct. 14th issue of Nature. </p> <p>Please vote for this podcast at <a href="http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=825">PodcastAlley</a>! </p> <p><a href="http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2010/10/13/story.mp3">Get this podcast story. </a></p> no
