    Europe is less far and there is also an ocean beneath the surface (at least we think...), and it's bigger. Nasa planned a mission to Europe some years ago but it was cancelled because of budget cut because of... war in Irak !

    Scientists have used the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio-telescope system and NASA's Cassini spacecraft to measure the position of Saturn and its family of moons to within about a mile -- at a range of nearly a billion miles.

Saturn's rings gave birth to mini-moons - 0 views

  • Low density, recent surfaces, and somewhat oblong shapes all hint that some of these moons are likely to be less than 100 million years old.
  • Researchers suspected that the moons might have originated through some sort of interactions within the A Ring, but the number of bodies involved made modeling the system too computationally challenging. Fortunately, Moore's Law caught up with Cassini, and today's issue of Nature contains a paper that describes a model that successfully reproduces the pattern of moons we now observe.

    The Space Launch System will be NASA's first exploration-class vehicle since the Saturn V took American astronauts to the moon over 40 years ago. With its superior lift capability, the SLS will allow us to explore cis-lunar space, near-Earth asteroids, Mars and its moons and beyond.

Report: Planets will collide in 5 billion years - 0 views

  • Mercury, Mars, Venus and Earth to smash into each other, either one at a time or all at once
  • by the end of that same 5 billion years the sun will have burned up its hydrogen and in a cooler state will inflate itself
  • the great "gas giants" of the outer solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - are extremely stable in their orbits, so they could remain where they are for a much longer time
  • Joris _ on 11 Jun 09
     
    Interesting, but obviously something is wrong. How the big giants can remain still if the inner planets and the sun vanish at the same time !
