Understanding the processes that cause volcanic eruptions can help scientists predict how often and how violently a volcano will erupt. Although scientists have a general idea of how these processes work -- the melting of magma below the volcano causes liquid magma and gases to force their way to Earth's surface -- eruptions happen so rarely, and often with little warning, that it can be difficult to study them in detail.

After more than 20 years of neglect, the planet Venus is once more drawing NASA's eye for ambitious new missions. A Venusian dream expedition for some scientists would include nothing short of an exploration flotilla - a ground robot, planetary airplane and orbiting manned spacecraft. The mission to Venus could investigate its surface from up-close for the first time in several decades, a NASA scientist said.

Astronomers have imaged a very young brown dwarf, or failed star, in a tight orbit around a young nearby Sun-like star. PZ Tel B was discovered using the Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) the most powerful high-contrast instrument designed for imaging brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets around other stars. NICI can detect companions 1 million times fainter than the host star at just 1 arcsecond separations.
