NASA is promoting a tournament to nominate the greatest NASA mission of all time. My vote will be for the Mars rovers, of course.
China has announced plans to land on the moon by 2013, and Obama has declared his support for a a return to the moon with a manned mission.
Images from MRO’s HiRISE imaging system have provided more clues of recent water activity in some gullies on mars.
Kepler has launched! Hooray! It’s just a matter of months (well maybe years) until we start finding M class planets around other stars.
And, speaking of M class planets, astronomers have discovered a binary black hole system. Great place to work on your tan. Some people prefer to tan with good old UV, but I like x-rays or even the occasional soft gamma ray when you can get’em.
There is also a fascinating new theory that, not only may there be life on the asteroid Ceres, but life may even have evolved on Ceres first and been transferred to the earth (during the late heavy bombardment)
