NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft finds lopsided shape of solar system
By: William Atkins
Voyager 2 is flying near the edge of the solar system. It has sent back important data to NASA showing that the heliosphere (the volume of highly charged particles blown out in all directions from the Sun) is lopsided.

OpenSolaris: nice try, pity about the licence
By: Sam Varghese
Why would anyone try to introduce an operating system into the existing glut unless it pays off in spades? What can a new entrant give us that the multitude of Linux distributions, the Mac OSX and old, hoary Windows hasn't?

Fast spinning, wildly orbiting pulsar puzzles astronomers
By: William Atkins
Astronomers are perplexed at a rapidly spinning pulsar, known as J1903+0327, because it is orbiting a star similar to the Sun in a very unusual orbit—two actions that haven’t been seen before.

Where are the other moons of Earth?
By: William Atkins
NASA researchers have postulated that when the Earth was hit by a large object about 4.5 billion years ago, it probably created many small moons around Earth, plus our large Moon. Many of them landed at stable points between the Earth and the Sun. They still should, theoretically, be here, but aren't. Where did they go? And why?

Can Neil Young help Sun and Sony reinvent music media?
By: Stan Beer
I've been a Neil Young fan since "After The Goldrush" (yes I'm that old) so seeing the fuss being made about him at Sun's JavaOne conference where he publicly threw his support behind Java and Blu-ray technologies naturally perked my interest. The question is can the likes of Young help the developers of Java and Blu-ray change the way music is packaged and sold?

Got shiny lips? Might get skin cancer!
By: William Atkins
A Baylor University study in the United States has shown that shiny lip balms and lip glosses does not protect oneself from ultraviolet sunlight and, thus, may increase the risk of skin cancer. See what the doctor says to do!

Danish physicists find solar flares produce starquakes
By: William Atkins
The scientists used the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to find oscillations in the outermost one-fourth of the Sun’s interior, which are called starquakes, as the result of the explosions of large solar flares.

Intelligent ET life probably not likely, according to English study
By: William Atkins
New planets around other stars (called extrasolar planets or exoplanets) are being discovered all of the time by astronomers, however, a new mathematical study by an English environmental scientist states that intelligent extraterrestrial (ET) life in the universe is “probably rare.”
