Seventy years after creating the original Beetle, Volkswagen is to build another no-frills "People's Car" for the 21st century. The tiny 111/2foot-long four-seater will be unveiled tonight on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show. Like the first Beetle, of which more than 21 million were sold, it will have its engine in the rear, with luggage space under the bonnet. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Astronomers have peered through a secretive cloak of dust to find five exploded stars in a region of space believed to be among the most energetic in the universe.

They're calling it a supernova factory, the first of its kind ever witnessed. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Back in June 1991, just before the launch of NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, astronomers knew of gamma rays from exactly one galaxy beyond our own. To their surprise and delight, the satellite captured similar emissions from dozens of other galaxies. Now its successor, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, is filling in the picture with new finds of its own. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Thamail Morgan took the kickoff and headed up the field.
He was at the 20 ... 30 ... 40

He had been avoiding, dodging or just simply running through tacklers on the way. Football always had come easily for Morgan. This game was no different. By the time he hit midfield, only open space was ahead of him. The two-time Arkansas all-state selection was headed for a touchdown.

Seems an obvious solution.

Gigantic satellites orbiting the Earth, equipped with solar cells, could collect enough energy from the sun every year to power the world seven times over.

UCL astronomers from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) have captured information from the early stages of a gamma ray burst – the most violent and luminous explosions occurring in the universe since the Big Bang – using a telescope aboard the NASA Swift Satellite. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

It would be nice to say such phenomena have minimal impact on the environment or life on Earth, but solar flares do strongly influence our local space weather, and produce streams of highly energetic particles in solar wind that can pose radiation risks to astronauts.

Mars was wet in its early history, but today it appears bone dry other than ice below the surface and at the poles. Astronomers have long wondered where all the water went. The water might have been blown into space long ago by strong gusts of solar winds, new satellite observations suggest. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A federal appeals court has rejected an Alabama inmate's bid to build a fire in a pit at a state prison as part of his religious worship. Tony Lee Smith, 38, wanted to build a fire at St. Clair Correctional Facility to practice an ancient polytheistic Nordic religion called Odinism. picked by DrNothing 2 years ago

In 1919, an eclipse of the Sun first allowed astronomers to test Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. Now, eclipses in a unique system of two dead stars, called pulsars, has shown that one of the pair is "wobbling" in space - just like a spinning top. The effect, called precession, is precisely as predicted by Einstein and is thus a new and exciting conf... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order,though.

The agency that owns the space where the World Trade Center towers stood is freeing itself of the term "freedom" to describe the signature skyscraper replacing the buildings destroyed on September 11, 2001.
Now they want it to be called "One World Trade Center."

As NASA prepares for its final service call to the Hubble Space Telescope, it's also preparing for something never attempted in the history of the shuttle program: a rescue operation so dramatic that Hollywood would be hard-pressed to come up with a more outlandish plot. picked by kakana 7 months ago
