Jupiter Tiny Spot Goes From White to Red

Just a little more than a year ago, the small spot on Jupiter was a pale white; now it matches the reddish hue of its bigger sibling, the Great Red Spot, and boasts 400 mph winds, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope.

IF LIFE is to be found beyond our home planet, then our closest encounters with it may come in the dark abyss of some extraterrestrial sea. For Earth is certainly not the only ocean-girdled world in our solar system.

MICROSCOPES revolutionised the study of life on Earth. Now a rugged, easy-to-use instrument is aiming to be equally influential in the search for alien life in locations such as the oceans beneath the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa.

Researchers hunting for signs of life beyond Earth have long been drawn to Europa because several features of the moon's icy surface — including its bright color, networks of long fractures and crater-free terrain — suggest that the moon contains a vast ocean buried under t …

The glamorous details: a 37,942-square-foot two-story home, which will feature an elevator, a grand stairway, a giant fireplace and 11 bedrooms. Oh, there's also a cottage and guard gate (for ex-teammate Charles Oakley perhaps?) in the works. The glamorous cost: $7,627,669.

Full Moon & Jupiter Over Georgia

Tonight I was sitting out back talking with my wife and happened to notice a full moon with Jupiter close at hand. I got my tripod and camera together and set up for some quick shots. At first I thought the shoot was going to be a bust due to cloudy conditions.

September 3, 2009 The Moon will be full at 11:03 a.m. CDT tomorrow. It is known as the Fruit Moon or Corn Moon. Most years, September's full Moon is also the Harvest Moon. This year, however, it's too far from the fall equinox, so October's full Moon gets the honor.

It is amazing how correct this man's analysis was years before these events actually happened. Also, he gives a nice rationale for going to the moon intstead of heading directly to mars.

An object, probably a comet that nobody saw coming, plowed into the giant planet's colorful cloud tops sometime Sunday, splashing up debris and leaving a black eye the size of the Pacific Ocean. This was the second time in 15 years that this had happened.

The planet Jupiter must have gained mass fast during its infancy, according to astronomers. It had to, because the material from which the planet formed disappeared in just a few million years.
