Professor Jackie Villadsen is co-author of the first paper to document bursts of radio waves from a star known to host a close-in planet, suggesting the planet may have an Earth-like magnetic field.
LEWISBURG — One of astronomy's burning mysteries is whether another Earth-like planet exists in far off stars. Bucknell University Professor Jackie Villadsen, physics and astronomy, is now contributing evidence that suggests there may be — at least when it comes to the Earth's magnetic field.

ATLANTA—Plans are underway to add a seventh movable telescope to Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy— known as the CHARA Array—that would increase the resolution, or the ability to see small objects, by a factor of three.
Located at Mount Wilson Observatory in Southern California and operated by Georgia State, the new telescope will be connected using fiber optics to transport the starlight, a technique that will serve as a pathfinder for future expansion of the Array.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to the Week in Space: your Friday morning source for space news from around the world. The European Space Agency (ESA) is on track to launch a spacecraft to Jupiter this coming week.
But before we get started—we'd like to wish our fellow Trekkies a happy First Contact Day! Wednesday of this week marked the 40-year pre-anniversary of First Contact, when on April 5, 2063, the Vulcan ship T'Plana-Hath detected traces of Zefram Cochrane's historic first space flight at warp speed.
