Red Dwarf Star found in the Great Bear

Ursa Major, the Great Bear, the Big Dipper, the Saucepan or whatever you would like to call it, just got a new star allocated to it, its invisible to our eyes so they will not have to change any constellation maps for which is one of the most recognisable objects in the night sky http://bit.ly/8XMzWt

Strange Spiralling Light observed by many in Norway

Was it a tiny Black Hole, Worm Hole or a UFO? http://bit.ly/7vEOtL

What Drugs Are Our Astronauts On?

Certainly not the recreational ones it would appear http://bit.ly/6LPAqc

A much cooler Extrasolar Planet has been photographed

Positively tropical at a cool 326 degC and at a distance equivalent to Neptune's distance from the Sun, this Exoplanet is in its formation stage and the heat is generated from the gravitational crushing. http://bit.ly/7oxQZd

What would it look like to view Saturn like Rings here on Earth?



Fascinating imagining of what Rings would look like from various latitudes on the Earth's surface during night and day.

Similar to when the Moon is visible, such a large dominant Ring System omnipresent in the night sky (unless you're at the North or South Pole) would create a lot of light pollution due to Sun's illumination, so the trade off would be very poor star-gazing for astronomers. http://bit.ly/6kiHHv

New Zealander's Commercial Rocket makes it into Space!

No luck yet with finding the 2nd stage with the payload, but the 1st stage was retrieved and they have a bunch of telemetry data to analyse http://bit.ly/6yQOh4
