Moons of Saturn may be younger than the dinosaurs
New research suggests that some of Saturn's icy moons, as well as its famous rings, might be modern adornments. Their dramatic birth may have taken place a mere hundred million years ago, more recent than the reign of many dinosaurs. "Moons are always changing their orbits. That's inevitable," says Matija Cuk, principal investigator at the SETI Institute. "But that fact allows us to use computer simulations to tease out the history of Saturn's inner moons. Doing so, we find that they wer..>> view originalJapan slaughters pregnant whales, Australia warns of legal action

Growing up, a lot of my teachers loved the adage, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’ And yet, most of my early novel selection was very much about the attractiveness of a book’s slip jacket. The same is true, nowadays, to a certain extent, when it comes to indie game titles. If it’s a boring title that doesn’t stoke my curiosity, I’m unlikely to notice it unless it’s recommended. If, however, it has a title like, say, Deliver Us the Moon, well, it has my attention immediately. It’s an evocativ..>> view originalAre you sick of washing? Try self-cleaning clothes
