9,500-year-old tree is discovered
The world's oldest living tree -- a 9,550-year-old spruce --
has been discovered in Sweden's Dalarna province, a university
professor said. Umea University Professor Leif Kullman said
the discovery was made under the crown of a spruce on Fulu
Mountain in central Sweden where scientists found four
"generations" of spruce remains in the form of cones and wood
produced from higher ground. Researchers said the old tree
survived cooler summer conditions during the past 10,000 years
and, more recently, a gradual warming, by its ability to push
out another trunk as older ones die. Other very old trees,
including three 375-, 5,660- and 9,000-years-old were also
discovered. Since spruce trees can multiply with root
penetrating braches, they can produce exact copies, or
clones, researchers said. The trees' ages were determined in
a process called carbon-14 dating at a U.S. laboratory.

Changing jet streams may alter storm paths
U.S. scientists say changes in the Earth's jet streams, possibly
caused by global warming, might affect storm paths and intensity,
including hurricanes. Jet streams -- high-altitude bands of
fast-moving winds -- are shifting, said Carnegie Institution
researchers Ken Caldeira and Cristina Archer. They found that
from 1979 to 2001, the jet streams in both hemispheres rose in
altitude and shifted toward the poles. At the same time,
northern hemisphere jet streams weakened. Since jet streams
are the driving factor for weather conditions, said Archer,
changes in the jets have the potential to affect large
populations and major climate systems. Caldeira and Archer,
from Carnegie's Department of Global Ecology in Stanford,
Calif., said hurricanes' development tends to be inhibited
by jet streams. Therefore hurricanes might become more powerful
and more frequent as the jet streams move away from sub-tropical
zones where hurricanes are born. The scientists said the
changes fit the predictions of several global warming models,
although theirs is the first study to use observation-based
datasets to examine trends in all the jet stream parameters.
The research appears in the journal Geophysical Research
Letters.

NASA readying moon mission spacecraft
The U.S. space agency says it has started installing instruments
aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitor, or LRO, that will
examine the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration says its engineers and technicians are working
24 hours a day at the Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md., to ready the spacecraft for testing and eventual
launch later this year. "The spacecraft really is coming together
now," said Cathy Peddie, LRO deputy project manager at Goddard.
"We are in the space assembly homestretch and making solid
progress. You can begin to see what LRO will look like in all
of its glory." Four of six instruments have been mated to the
spacecraft, including a cosmic ray telescope, a mapping
instrument that will scan the lunar surface in the far
ultraviolet spectrum and a radiometer that will measure
surface as well as sub-surface temperatures from orbit, thereby
identifying cold traps, potential ice deposits and even landing
hazards. The satellite is to be launched from the Kennedy Space
Center later this year.
