Almost everyone on the planet who had access to television watched the first moon landing, back on the night of July 20, 1969. What the TV viewers didn't know is that they weren't seeing the best images. The astronauts actually beamed higher-quality footage back to Earth, but it was only seen by a small number of people at three tracking stations. Those original images were recorded and put into storage -- somewhere. Now, a small crew of retirees, space enthusiasts, and NASA employees are searching for a moon landing that the world has never seen. Houston, The Image Is Degraded One of them is Stan Lebar. On that historic night, he was 44 years old and sitting in Houston's Mission ...

Illegal Immigrant on CBS: In 20 Years, We'll Run America! On CBS’s "Sunday Morning" reporter Martha Teichner narrated a piece sympathetic to Hispanic immigrants, and in particular, illegal immigrants. She profiled three Hispanic people, two of whom initially came to the country illegally. One illegal immigrant she profiled was defiant of his status, and sounded almost threatening when he said: "In 20 years, we are going to run the country. Right now we're running the cities. So little by little, we're running the show. Little by little. So this sleeping giant is already awakened." The piece omitted some crucial elements, first there was no mention of societal ...

Rare Cloud Formation Seen in Antarctica Tuesday, August 1, 2006 Printable Version Email This Article (08-01) 16:35 PDT HOBART, Australia (AP) -- Some of the coldest temperatures on Earth brought a rare cloud formation to the skies over Antarctica, scientists said Tuesday. Meteorological officer Renae Baker captured spectacular images of the nacreous clouds, also known as polar stratospheric clouds, last week at Australia's Mawson station in Antarctica. The clouds only occur at high polar latitudes in winter, requiring temperatures less than minus 176 degrees Fahrenheit. A weather balloon measured temperatures at minus 189 degrees Fahrenheit on the day the photos were taken. ...

Beauty and mystery in rare Antarctic clouds Tuesday 1 August 2006 A rare and spectacular cloud formation has been seen at the end of the polar night at Australia's Mawson station in Antarctica. © Renae Baker 2006 These so-called nacreous clouds were situated high in the stratosphere, some 20km above the ground, and reveal very cold temperatures in the rarefied atmosphere. Photographs taken by Renae Baker, a meteorological officer with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology at Mawson, on July 25 show delicate colours produced when the fading light at sunset passed through tiny water-ice crystals blown along on a strong jet of stratospheric air.

Affinity with the Christian right has led to banning stem cell research and turning a blind eye to civilian deaths in Lebanon From the very beginning, the conflict between religion and modern science was couched in extreme, even apocalyptic rhetoric. Thomas H Huxley, who popularised the Origin of Species, insisted that people had to choose between faith and science; there could be no compromise: "One or the other would have to succumb after a struggle of unknown duration." In response, conservative Christians launched a crusade against Darwinism. After the first world war, the Democratic politician William Jennings Bryan claimed that there was a direct link between ...

BEIRUT (AFP) - The Mediterranean is threatened by its worst ever environmental disaster after Israel's bombing of a power plant in Lebanon sent thousands of tons of fuel gushing into the sea, the environment minister charged on Saturday. "Up until now 10,000-15,000 tons of heavy fuel oil have spilled out into the sea," after Israel's bombing of the power station in Jiyeh two weeks ago, Lebanese Environment Minister Yacub Sarraf told AFP. "It's without doubt the biggest environmental catastrophe that the Mediterranean has known and it risks having terrible consequences not only for our country but for all the countries of the eastern Mediterranean."

Transforming the Alchemists

PHILADELPHIA — Historians of science are taking a new and lively interest in alchemy, the often mystical investigation into the hidden mysteries of nature that reached its heyday in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries and has been an embarrassment to modern scientists ever since. There was no place in the annals of empirical science, beginning mainly in the 18th century, for the occult practices of obsessed dreamers who sought most famously and impossibly to transform base metals into pure gold. So alchemy fell into disrepute. But in the revival of scholarship on the field, historians are finding reasons to give at least some alchemists their due. Even though they were secretive ...

Asteroid (2006 OK3) Just Flew By 'Too Close' by Mitch Battros – ECM/ECTV Asteroid ‘2006 OK3’ did not get the recognition it should have. Just yesterday (July 24th) this 12 meteor diameter rock came within .07 lunar distances from Earth. The distance between the Earth and Moon is approximately 238,857 miles or (384,403 kilometers). This means asteroid ‘2006 OK3’ came within 167,212 miles from a collision with our home. In the astronomical world this is a razors hair in distance. If this rock would have been just a bit larger, all hell would have broke loose. The IAU Minor Planet Center announced this intruder just 3 days ago on Saturday July 22nd. Asteroid 2006 ...

Phobos & Deimos, The Moons of Mars Regular readers to this site may have read in the past our articles on Phobos, which is one of the small moons that circle around Mars. As we have speculated before, this 'moon' seems to be very odd, and has always been considered a rather mysterious object, as has its smaller twin, Deimos. Recent events seem to have strengthened our beliefs as news recently reached us that both Moons have mysteriously disappeared... But first, lets look at the history of these moons and tell you of some strange events that have been related to them in the past.

Evidence of Hydrocarbon Lakes on Titan By ALICIA CHANG AP Science Writer AP Photo Science Video Advertisement LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Scientists said Monday they have found the first widespread evidence of giant hydrocarbon lakes on the surface of Saturn's planet-size moon Titan. The cluster of lakes was spotted near Titan's frigid north pole during a weekend flyby by the international Cassini spacecraft, which flew within 590 miles of the moon. Researchers counted about a dozen lakes six to 62 miles wide. Some, which appeared as dark patches in radar images, were connected by channels, while others had tributaries flowing into them. Several were dried up, but the ones that contained ...

Models show one nearby star system could host Earth-like planet CONTACT: Vince Stricherz vinces@u.washington.edu 206-543-2580 The steady discovery of giant planets orbiting stars other than our sun has heightened speculation that there could be Earth-type worlds in nearby planetary systems capable of sustaining life. Now researchers running computer simulations for four nearby systems that contain giant planets about the size of Jupiter have found one that could have formed an Earth-like planet with the right conditions to support life. A second system is likely to have a belt of rocky bodies the size of Mars or smaller. The other two, the models show, do not have the proper conditions to ...

Children Are Said to Have Psychic Powers July 24, 2006 — - Sandie Bershad says she's always felt different than other kids and generally prefers the company of adults. At age 12, Sandie, now 17, says she went into a deep, two-year depression because she felt that no one understood her. She was treated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with medication, but as she grew up, she said, she realized that she had special gifts and abilities, including the ability to see angels and hear voices. "I see dead people. I see my grandmother. She visits me all the time," Sandie said. "I have always been visited by spirits. For the past two years, I have been on a ...

The Picture that Won’t Go Away (Big Bang Has Burst)

Only in the rarest instances has a single picture altered the direction of a scientific discipline. But in the case of the galaxy NGC 7319 and the "misplaced" quasar in front of it, the message is inescapable. Today we return to an image we have seen before. On October 1, 2004, our Picture of the Day included a high-resolution photograph of the nearby galaxy NGC 7319, taken by the Hubble Telescope. Seen in front of the dense galactic core was a quasar. Prevailing ideology did not permit a quasar to occupy that position, and its presence threatened to shatter one of the most cherished themes of mainstream astronomy: the Big Bang. For those who wonder what all the commotion ...

A Wireless Chip the Size of Grain! Techtree News Staff HP has announced the development of a miniature, wireless data chip that according to the company, is capable of providing broad access to digital content in the physical world. "Memory Spot", a research team at HP Labs, has developed this memory device based on CMOS (a widely used, low-power integrated circuit design). The chip is just about the size of a grain of rice or smaller (2 mm to 4 mm square). These chips can be fixed on a sheet of paper or stuck to any surface, and the company says, will eventually be made available as a booklet with self-adhesive dots. Some of the potential applications of this device include ...

It's taken months longer than he hoped, but real-estate billionaire Robert Bigelow might just see his first orbital spacecraft take flight at last on Wednesday, courtesy of a converted Russian intercontinental ballistic missile. If Bigelow Aerospace's Genesis 1 inflatable space module lifts off successfully, the test mission could mark a significant step toward an era of hotels and even sports complexes in space. Russia's Federal Space Agency lists Genesis 1 for a Wednesday launch from the Dombarovsky military missile base in southwestern Siberia. This would be the first on-orbit test of Bigelow's inflatable-module concept, which was actually developed at NASA for future space station ...

A paralyzed man with a small sensor implanted in his brain was able to control a computer, a television and a robot using only his thoughts, scientists reported today. The development offers hope that in the future, people with spinal cord injuries, Lou Gehrig’s disease or other ailments that impair movement might be able to better communicate with or control their world. “If your brain can do it, we can tap into it,’’ said John P. Donoghue, a professor at Brown University who led the development of the system and was the senior author of a report published today in the journal Nature. In separate experiments, the first person to receive the implant, Matthew Nagle, ...

Scientists have taken a major step forward in the understanding and treatment of male infertility after impregnating mice with sperm grown from embryonic stem cells. In a world first, researchers have shown that sperm generated from stem cells and developed in a laboratory can result in a live birth. The breakthrough could lead to infertile men undergoing "sperm transplants" resulting in the birth of their own biological child rather than having to use donated samples, which are in short supply. Experts described the work as an exciting advance and "hugely significant" for the treatment of male infertility. But some pro-life campaigners expressed concern about ...

Women In The Future May Produce Sperm Robert Paul Reyes July 11, 2006 Some extreme elements of the women's movement argue that men are superfluous. Men always smugly answered, "Right, and who's going to mow your lawn, check your oil, and not to mention impregnate you?" A new scientific breakthrough may indeed make guys as obsolete as a Betamax, females in the future may be able to produce sperm. Evil scientists in England have turned stem cells from an embryo into sperm which are capable of producing offspring. The satanic experiment used embryo cells to produce seven baby mice, six of whom lived into adulthood, although the survivors suffered adverse events. Contrary to ...
