NASA's Cassini spacecraft is back in contact with Earth after its successful first-ever dive through the narrow gap between the planet Saturn and its rings on April 26, 2017. The spacecraft is in the process of beaming back science and engineering data collected during its passage
Uranium-thorium dating. The limit of C14 dating is about 40,000 years. There's definitely no doubt the mastodon bones are ~130,000 years old.Quote:

Anyone got a cliffs notes on that crazy hexagon storm at the pole of Saturn? I'd love to hear how those angles happen in an atmosphere.
And a preemptive go fuck yourself with your google that for yous. This is TGR damnit where everyone is an expert on everything. One stop shop.
plutonium detonation? :)
Looked up the average temperature on Saturn. 288 degrees Frankenstein below zero.
Pretty sure that's the average nightly temp at STFU's paintcan-shaker.Quote:

See. Thank you.
I wonder if they have any archived soil samples from the site: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39747326Quote:

Pretty cool video JPL put together of the Cassini fly by.

^^^That's incredible.
Neat article on issues NASA is having while they build some of the SLS tank components using "self-reacting friction stir welding".

The research coming out about how the body regulates salt balance is fascinating.

I saw that and thought of this:Quote:

It turns out that no, no they weren't.
Not quite. They do, but apparently it has nothing to do with osmotic balance.Quote:

This sort of fits here. I got all three sample questions right. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/u...mpetition.html

Construction has started on the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile. It will feature a 39-meter primary mirror, plus a groundbreaking spectrograph and adaptive optics capabilities. The discoveries this thing could make are mind boggling. Hubble is positively quaint in comparison.

Holy shit, CERN is going to build another collider that will be triple the size of the LHC: https://www.sciencealert.com/work-is...-s-replacement
It is sad as hell that 24 years after the Superconducting Super Collider was cancelled, there are still no plans for a super collider in the US. The SSC would have been as big and powerful as this thing is planned to be, and would be operating right fucking now :cussing:
Fkn euros - still banking on science being more than a fad
The SSC could have been built for the cost of a handful of B2 bombers, but hey, what possible value could be gained by probing the fundamental structure of the universe....
The worst part is anti-science Republicans aren't even to blame, the effort to kill the SSC was spearheaded by a Democrat.
