Show me the water
We’ve heard several times that there may be water on Luna. In the form of ice on the surface, and, perhaps, some liquid underground. NASA is expected to unveil Thursday research showing "a lot of water" exists on the surface. From the AAAS journal Science advancer to Science writers: "…three reports utilize data collected by [...]

We are star stuff
An old story, panspermia. But always nice to have fresh evidence. This time, it’s from a comet.

Ares 1-X
They’re stacking this baby down at KSC for what is billed as a test flight "later this year," mainly to see how the first stage works. I’ll believe it when it happens. But I hope it flies eventually, before the Dems have spent all the available money on ACORN and pork. Because this is the [...]

Comet Lulin
I don’t usually bother to tout comets any more, having once had to do it for a living when they generally proved a disappointment. But this green one looks to be unusual, with a Juipter-sized atmosphere, or coma. Of course, coming no closer than thirty-eight million miles away on Feb. 24 will keep it from [...]

James Hansen’s boss…
…John Theon of NASA, says Hansen’s global warming data is bosh. No surprise, there. When science turns messianic, it’s time to watch out. Hansen has even declared that energy industry execs who question his data should be jailed. Sweet reversal. UPDATE: Ah but, meanwhile, in Obamalot, the warnings continue as if nothing had changed. How [...]

The shrinking heliosphere
Nevermind global warming and rising seas, kiddies. The sun’s protective bubble around the solar system has lost twenty-five percent of its size in the past decade and it’s still weakening. You can cap and trade carbon dioxide until you know what freezes over, but unless this heliospheric shrinking is cyclical, the knowledge of which is just out [...]
