Rover scientists waited for data from rover instruments that measure the chemical composition of rocks.
This is to make comprehensive maps of the moon's chemical composition, magnetism and gravity.
Can astronomers deduce, from the chemical composition of the leftover stars, how big it was?
That's because the sound they make depends on their age, size and chemical composition.
From the chemical composition, you have to work out the most likely mineralogy.
With its new chemical composition and color-shifting ink, the Series 1996 was an incredibly difficult bill to imitate successfully.
Besides its temperature, the light coming from a star can also tell astronomers a lot about its chemical composition.
These new data, combined with the most recent estimates of its mass, allowed the researchers to infer its chemical composition.
Interestingly enough, when examining the chemical composition of the Martian minerals, the Curiosity team discovered both oxidized and reduced forms of sulfur compounds.

Dr Kirkpatrick points out that the spectrum (and thus the chemical composition) of a methane dwarf is very similar to that of Jupiter.
High-tech lab analyses revealed panguite's chemical composition and crystal structure, which Ma said is new, and as such, could be explored for novel engineering materials.
Changing the chemical composition of the anchor (which is what happens as a result of the faulty gene), prevents the bacterium from sticking to it.

The chemical composition of paints has been examined, and some paints have even been radioactively dated (it is the lead content that is key here).
In order for all of the sensors in the inner ear to function properly, the fluid needs to retain a certain volume, pressure and chemical composition.
Buchholz, a physicist and a nuclear engineer, is an expert at something called accelerator mass spectrometry, an extraordinarily precise method of determining the chemical composition of materials.
Further analysis of the DNA and chemical composition of the bones is due to take place and may help to shed more light on the child and its fate.
No one disputes that these globules were formed from stuff melted and thrown into the air by the impact, because their chemical composition matches rock from the crater itself.
ECONOMIST: Some new ideas about why life on Earth has periodic crises
The two institutes have developed compact and portable x-ray devices capable of analysing the structure and chemical composition of ancient bones, buildings, and art objects in a non-destructive fashion.
The exact chemical composition of a fibre's glass determines how transparent it is to different frequencies, and also its tendency to disperse those frequencies even when it is transparent.
To examine the relationship between the newly discovered goo and barnacle glue, Dr Vollrath's colleagues, Katrin Kronenberger and Cedric Dicko, took a look at the chemical composition of both.
He said the Federal Bureau of Investigation has asked his firm for the chemical composition of the fireworks it sold to the elder Mr. Tsarnaev, which the company has provided.
But the strength of the greenhouse effect depends on the chemical composition of the atmosphere, because the phenomenon is due to the absorption of infra-red radiation by various gases in the air.
But microwaves can carry astronomical details about the chemical composition of heavenly bodies, such as the molecular clouds in which stars are born, that other radio frequencies are blind to so the search is worthwhile.
Although APXS and ChemCam will tell you which chemical elements are present, they don't tell you how precisely those atoms are arranged into the crystalline structures that make up the rock, and both this mineralogy and the chemical composition are ideally needed to assign a rock name.
Weather is caused by disturbances within the atmosphere, but climate is controlled by external influences, such as the distribution of oceans and continents, the extent of ice and snow-cover, variations in the amount of energy from the sun, and changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere.
The company has tweaked the chemical and atomic composition of the raw materials of the glass, which in turn has increased its density -- making it much more scratch and dent resistant than last years model.

They are then able to observe the chemical spectra and observe the composition of the planets themselves.
FORBES: Astronomers Conduct 'Reconnaissance' Of Another Solar System
As well as using the rover's X-ray spectrometer on Whitewater Lake and Kirkwood to determine the chemical elements present, and thus get a better idea of their mineralogical composition, the team needs to work out the order and position of the rock layers to tell them something of their relative ages.
In addition to a sea floor mapping project, the researchers will make chemical analyses of water samples that will help them determine the temperature, salinity and composition of a strong circumpolar current that flows around the boundary of the Arctic Ocean.
