Can We Spot Volcanoes On Alien WorldsCambridge MA (SPX) Sep 08, 2010 Volcanoes display the awesome power of Nature like few other events. Earlier this year, ash from an Icelandic volcano disrupted air travel throughout much of northern Europe. Yet this recent eruption pales next to the fury of Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanic body in our solar system. Now that astronomers are finding rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, they're asking the next logical questions: Do any of those worlds have volcanoes? And if so, could we detect them? Work by theorists at the Har ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 19, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft has returned Saturnian moon images from its flyby late last week, revealing light and dark contrasts worthy of chiaroscuro painters like Caravaggio. The flyby on August 13 targeted the geyser moon Enceladus, but also brought Cassini close to two other moons--Tethys and Dione. The raw images include the best ones to date of Penelope crater on the icy moon Tet ... more  
Sydney, Australia (SPX) Aug 19, 2010Before the end of 2010, China will have launched its second lunar probe. Chang'e 2 is an orbiting spacecraft that was originally built as a back-up for China's first lunar probe, Chang'e 1, which flew to the moon in 2007. The launch is widely tipped for some time in October. Sending the back-up spacecraft on its own mission makes sense. The spacecraft was already built, and the integrity o ... more  
Fairfield CA (SPX) Aug 17, 2010After thousands of years of improving man's first survival skill, a new method to improve the hunt has hit the market. Hunters are going high-tech with a new program designed to improve their hunting skills by gathering, detailing, and retaining performance information about bagged game over entire seasons or years. An interesting new application tracks the information related to the hunt ... more |

Raisin' Mountains On Saturn's Moon TitanPasadena CA (JPL) Aug 13, 2010 Saturn's moon Titan ripples with mountains, and scientists have been trying to figure out how they form. The best explanation, it turns out, is that Titan is shrinking as it cools, wrinkling up the moon's surface like a raisin. A new model developed by scientists working with radar data obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows that differing densities in the outermost layers of Titan can account for the unusual surface behavior. Titan is slowly cooling because it is releasing heat from its orig ... read more |
