A team of scientists including a ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ professor used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to make the most detailed global map yet of the glow from a giant, oddball planet orbiting another star, an object twice as massive as Jupiter and hot enough to melt steel.

NASA has awarded a team led by the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ more than $7 million to study aspects of the origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.

A ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ research center will recognize public schools for what they do to give all students the chance to succeed, rather than turning to test scores to determine school quality. The Schools of Opportunity project is now seeking applications from public high schools in Colorado and New York. Next year, the project will expand to include schools nationwide, recognizing schools that use research-based practices to close the opportunity gaps that result in unequal opportunities to learn, in school and beyond school.

The confidence of Colorado business leaders continues to be positive heading into the fourth quarter and has moderately increased compared with a year ago, according to the most recent Leeds Business Confidence Index (LBCI) released today by the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ’s Leeds School of Business. It’s not as bullish, however, as it was a quarter ago with slight drops across the board resulting in a current overall reading of 59.5, down from 61.2 heading into the third quarter of 2014.
