The Indian Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft discovers that the Moon absorbs rays from the Sun in order to create water on its lunar surface. Surprisingly, though, some of them are reflected back into space. Learn why this is important in our continuing investigation of our local solar system and the much larger universe.

Storm water "recharged" into drinking water
Written By: William Atkins
Section: Science
Category: Health
2009-09-17 08:15:06
Australian scientists prove that stormwater can be filtered with natural and human-engineered means so that it is as safe as water purified by traditional means. As an added plus, the process is less expensive and causes fewer environmental concerns that usual water treatment processes. So, drink up!

NASA astrophysicist Peter Wasilewski studies the magnetic properties of meteorites and Moon and Earth rocks. However, after work he switches from rocks to ice, where he becomes a Frizion artist. A Frizion is an image of ice that is taken with polarizing light. Wasilewski calls it "Painting with light on a canvas of ice."
