    Updated: 2010-05-31 18:52:52
    Weirdwarp: The new Horizons spacecraft was launched in 2006 for a trip to Pluto and beyond. Unfortunately for this mission there is a little controversy about Pluto as you probably know. Pluto, to put a long story short, has been deemed a dwarf planet by the IAU and this doesn’t really suit the image that NASA [...]

  • Enigma of Jupiter.

    Updated: 2010-05-31 01:12:34
    Observing the Sky: At last, a clear and calm morning to use the Quantum-4 telescope on what ever I wanted. While the Moon was some 7 degrees northeast of Nunki at 5:30am, Jupiter rose nearly hours earlier to become well-placed in the southeast for observation by 5:20am. Clearly, there is something unusual going on up there, as one of its lage dark belts has disappeared! I couldn’t tell where the Greay “Red” Spot was either. The last time this giant planet lost a belt was in the late 1980’s. Truly, Jupiter is a very dynamic planet, considering this belt girdled the planet and was close to 10,000 mies wide. Keep watching this, as like a blind date, you really never know what will become of this feature.
