Jupiter has acquired a new red spot.

No word on whether Saturn is up to date on it’s vaccinations.

I’m a little late mentioning this, but Cassini has found spokes in the rings of Saturn, something they’ve been searching for since Voyager noticed them during a fly-by.

Now the rings of Saturn are changing in ways that scientists can’t explain.

If only Bush had signed the Kyoto accords all of this could have been avoided!

and in the darkness … magnify them.

I wasn’t aware they had ever found an Einstein Ring. It turns out they’ve found a few, and this one just happens to be nearly perfect.

It seems that during the 80’s the Soviets created and launched a “star wars” battle platform for low orbit battle – it would be used to intercept missiles and other, similar craft.

Ok, due to a software error they managed to pilot it right into the atmosphere. One little mistake…

This site has some of the pictures of the craft and the launch. Amazing that we haven’t heard about it until now.
