"Astronomers have spent decades trying to explain Venus' mysterious properties. Now one scientist thinks the planet's formation may explain all: Two huge, protoplanetary bodies collided head-on and merged to form our planetary neighbor, but obliterated nearly all water in the process." http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20080228/sc_space/venusmysteriesblamedoncolossalcollision

"NASA's Cassini spacecraft circling the planet Saturn will plunge through the outer fringes of an icy plume spewing out from cracks in one of the ringed world's many moons on Wednesday." Just a note. You could open a new thread and post all your messages in there... Would make the MilkyWay@Home Sience boad look less messed up with non-Milkyway sience stuff. Thanks.  Join Support science!

Just a note. You could open a new thread and post all your messages in there... I second the motion. ;) It could be called “General Space News†or something … I think other research into galactic structure and the stellar population of the Milky Way, as in the Violent Universe and Rogue Stars articles, may well be worthy of special notice, but planetary science, space exploration, cosmology & what not are scarcely relevant to the ostensible topic of this forum.  |

Forgive me for sharing...I will stop posting here and the forums will thus be a lot less "messed up".

The explosion of a star halfway across the universe was so huge it set a record for the most distant object that could be seen on Earth by the naked eye. The aging star, in a previously unknown galaxy, exploded in a gamma ray burst 7.5 billion light years away, its light finally reaching Earth early Wednesday. The gamma rays were detected by NASA's Swift satellite at 2:12 a.m. "We'd never seen one before so bright and at such a distance," NASA's Neil Gehrels said. It was bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Source: CNN Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service. |

Hi, Ok sorry about this everyone. I'm sorry this was not clear so cruncher just thought he was doing his job. You can post anything you deem relevant to the project, things such as space missions like cassini and stuff are included. I apologize to you posters. But also, that wasn't very nice to call cruncher a wanker either, but i know you were ticked. Now, if you have any other issues you can PM me and i'll try to take care of it for you. Apologies to all. Dave Przybylo MilkyWay@home Developer Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute |
