Time Space Science: Saturnian Moon Shows Evidence Of Ammonia
http://time-space-science.blogspot.com/2009/08/saturnian-moon-shows-evidence-of.html
Saturnian Moon Shows Evidence Of Ammonia. Data collected during two close flybys of Saturn's moon Enceladus by NASA's Cassini spacecraft add more fuel to the fire about the Saturnian ice world containing sub-surface liquid water. The data collected by Cassini's Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer during Enceladus flybys in July and Oct. 2008, were released in the July 23 issue of the journal Nature. As many a homeowner interested in keeping their abodes spick and span know, ammonia promptly dissolves in wa...

Time Space Science: Galaxies Coming Of Age In Cosmic Blobs
http://time-space-science.blogspot.com/2009/07/galaxies-coming-of-age-in-cosmic-blobs.html
Galaxies Coming Of Age In Cosmic Blobs. The "coming of age" of galaxies and black holes has been pinpointed, thanks to new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. This discovery helps resolve the true nature of gigantic blobs of gas observed around very young galaxies. For ten years the secrets of the blobs had been buried from view, but now we've uncovered their power source," said James Geach of Durham University in the United Kingdom, who led the study. "Now we can settle ...

Scientists Look Beyond Earth To Understand Auroras. The eerie beauty of the northern and southern lights has evoked visions of the supernatural for centuries: foxes of fire whisking their tales, the fighting souls of dead warriors or ancestors dancing around a ceremonial fire. The English poet Sir Walter Scott in 1805 conjured up otherworldly beings when he wrote, "He knew, by the streamers that shot so bright, That spirits were riding the northern light.". Anatomy of an Aurora. Deep within the Sun, 93 m...

Time Space Science: Seas Discovered On Saturn's Moon Titan
http://time-space-science.blogspot.com/2009/06/seas-discovered-on-saturns-moon-titan.html
Seas Discovered On Saturn's Moon Titan. Instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft have found evidence for seas, likely filled with liquid methane or ethane, in the high northern latitudes of Saturn's moon Titan. One such feature is larger than any of the Great Lakes of North America and is about the same size as several seas on Earth. While there is no definitive proof yet that these seas contain liquid, their shape, their dark appearance in radar that indicates smoothness, and their other properties poin...

Plants- Animals Science News: Birds Have A Good Sense Of Smell
http://plants-animals-science.blogspot.com/2009/05/birds-have-good-sense-of-smell.html
Plants- Animals Science News. Birds Have A Good Sense Of Smell. Sight and hearing are the most important senses for birds - this is at least the received wisdom. By studying bird DNA, however, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, along with a colleague at the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand, have now provided genetic evidence that many bird species have a well-developed sense of smell .

The research team tested the squirrels' ability to learn to choose between two pots of food after watching another squirrel remove a nut from one of the pots. One group was rewarded for choosing the same pot as the previous squirrel, the second group was rewarded for targeting the other pot. Http:/ www.exeter.ac.uk/. Posted by : Ela.

Plants- Animals Science News: Sex Involved In Plant Defense
http://plants-animals-science.blogspot.com/2009/07/sex-involved-in-plant-defense.html
Plants- Animals Science News. Sex Involved In Plant Defense. Why do some plants defend themselves from insect attacks better than others? New evidence shows that the difference might be due to whether they're getting any plant love. The findings are important steps to learning more about how plants have evolved defenses against insect herbivores, says Dr. Marc Johnson, assistant professor of plant biology at NC State and the lead author of the research paper. Johnson says the nuanced results make sense.
