Looking at the universe I have always thought it odd that planets were round and not some other shape. To make a sphere on earth isn’t really that easy. I can’t say that I have tried it But just trying to get a lump of plasticine into a sphere with your hands is almost impossible. On [...]
Hawaiian Summit to Gain Giant Telescope
The construction of a large telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea which is opposed by the Hawaiians has permission now to go ahead. This has been opposed because the Hawaiians consider it sacred ground. The construction could start on the top of the 13,800 foot high mountain as early as April 2014. The mountain [...]
The Existing Climate Change Model Could Be Wrong
Climate models may be too conservative in forecasting tropical changes. This is indicated by a large amount of warm water that used to stretch out from Indonesia over to Africa and South America 4 million years ago. This large mass of water would have altered rainfall in the tropics perhaps even removing the monsoon. The [...]
Data That Was Called a Nuisance Leads to a Surprising Discovery about Star Birth
Bright objects appeared in maps in 2008 from data made with the South Pole telescope. These light sources interfered with the measurements that were being made of the cosmic microwave background radiation (the afterglow of the big bang). But this turned out to be a rare find in what was a large survey of the [...]
The Best View of Exoplanets Planets yet
4 Jupiter mass planets, among the most exotic ones to be known, have been seen in more detail than ever before. Project 1640 picked out these planets using the Hale telescope. These planets orbit a star called HR 8799 which is 128 ly away. Light from planets is hard to make out as the stars [...]
Cassini Sees Massive Storm
Cassini continues to return original new stuff on its orbit around Saturn and its moons. The latest information is on a large thunder and lightning storm on Saturn. The storm got so large that it reached its own tail around the planet. This doesn’t even occur on Jupiter and is the first time it has [...]

Super Human Future Senses.
I am looking at my curtains. Now what colour are they really? I would say that they were brown but brown is a name that we have just paired with that particular reaction in my eye. The good thing is that if I asked somebody else they will say that that curtain is brown as [...]

Lets Get Into Space.
I have always thought that I would love to go into space. A low altitude orbit would be okay but there is no way to do it at the moment as it costs just that little bit too much. This means that I have watched Apollo 13 about 13 times and also watched films like [...]

ET leftovers
We have been trying to communicate with ET Or other civilisations for a long human time but when you compare that to the universe’s clock it’s not even one millionth of a second. Time is the big problem when looking for other civilisations and being human we really don’t have time on our side at [...]

Future Evolution?
The human body is badly designed. I noticed that it has many problems and if someone designed a body these problems simply just wouldn’t appear. What about birth for instance? Pushing out a baby through a small hole (well normally anyway) and causing all that pain is just a stupid design. Then if things go [...]
