This week's journal club was host by Michael De Robertis. Some highlights are following:
1. IYA 2009 officially came to a close on Jan 9th and 10th in Padua, Italy. Read the event here.
2. Pulsar watchers race for gravity waves. Radio telescopes use pulsars looking for massive cosmic collisions. Read the article here.

Nov 11 Recap
Today's host was Alireza Rafiee.
1. NASA plans to launch Atlantis on November 16 for an 11-day flight to the International Space Station. Read the mission's details here.
2. Many observations have been planed this week around Rosetta's Earth swing-by. Read more here.
3. An unusual rapid supernova SN 2002bj, originally identified as a Type II supernova 7 years ago, has been rediscovered as a new type of exploding star. The explosion is believed to be caused by helium flows from one white dwarf onto another in a binary star system. Read here.
4. How many universes are there? String theory says 10 to the power of 500, quantum fluctuations produce 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 10 million. But does it really matter in a world ruled by quantum physics, where an observer's brain can only tell 10 to the power of 10 to the power 16 universes apart? Read more here.
