Asteroid with rings Astronomers have detected signs that they have spotted an asteroid with rings. Rosetta switches on The Rosetta probe has turning on its instruments after hibernating for almost three years.

Jorge Cham, the cartoonist behind the Piled Higher and Deeper (PhD Comics) has illustrated a very educational interview with Daniel Whiteson, Assistant Professor in Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine at CERN.
The resulting movie titled "What is in the Data? The Higgs Boson Explained" only takes about 7-minutes, yet contains sufficient material to ponder for the rest of your life... It includes, for instance, a clear explanation why it is so difficult for scientists to detect the Higgs Boson particle in the experimental data, and why they need so much data that they run the experiment 40 million times per second, each day, all year.

Created to honor, support and recognize scientists whose work have had a profound impact in these areas, through these Prizes we also hope to raise people's awareness of the benefits of basic science in their own lives. . ” — Fred Kavli, founder of The Kavli Foundation Science prizes for the 21st century, the Kavli Prizes recognize scientists for their seminal advances in three research areas: astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience. Consisting of a scroll, medal and cash award of one million dollars, a prize in each of these areas is awarded every two years beginning in 2008. Jan Fridthjof Bernt, President of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. To learn more about the Kavli Prize, please go to www.kavliprize.no.
Haarp.alaska.edu FAQ. Frequently Asked Questions about HAARP General Questions about HAARP What is HAARP?
HAARP stands for The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The goal of this program is to further advance our knowledge of the physical and electrical properties of the Earth's ionosphere which can affect our military and civilian communication and navigation systems. The HAARP program operates a world-class ionospheric research facility located in Gakona, Alaska. 579 - A 1939 Map of Physics. Geography was my favourite subject in school; physics the one I disliked the most.
If only I’d known about this Map of Physics! This spatial representation of the subject, dating from 1939, defines itself as Being a map of physics, containing a brief historical outline of the subject as will be of interest to physicists, students, laymen at large; Also giving a description of the land of physics as seen by the daring sould who venture there; And more particularly the location of villages (named after pioneer physicists) as found by the many rivers; Also the date of founding of each village; As well as the date of its extinction; and finally a collection of various and sundry symbols frequently met with on the trip. Perhaps, by representing physics as a continent and its main branches as rivers, it would have made that vast, mysterious subject more graspable to a mind more attuned to geography.
