yeah, I saw it too -- but it's only a 1 in 2000 chance. It sounded so much more interesting than that. :)

| Martian auroras sounded pretty interesting ... don't forget to vote in the photo of the year contest (see previous link) -- it's down to the final four ... |

Come Fly With the Newest Landsat
//earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/LDCMLongSwath/?src=eoa-features
Satellites don't take videos; they capture still images. But in a new mosaic, 56 stills have been stitched together to present a seamless video flyover of what LDCM saw one day in April 2013.

NASA just gave a grant to an inventor that has invented a food replicator. (a 3d printer that can print food)

For some reason I've always had trouble making a decent pie crust -- maybe this is the answer!
I'm guessing (if it's real) it has to do with a potential Mars mission, with a goal of assembling shelf-stable ingredients into something resembling a food item more appetizing than paste ... and anyway, it seems like a tastier use for a printer than making a handgun ... ;-)
What's more impressive (to me) is the progress being made in getting those printers to use cells to print transplantable organs.

Or a glass of cold beer ...
I think I heard that pizza (an almost 2-D food anyway) might be the first target ... |

Oooh!! Thanks for the reminder! I have to go look up the time. I think I put it on my calendar...
Ok -- 5:40PM eastern time.
It should be a speed challenge!! 24 hour speed challenge, and your camera time must fall in the 15 minute window where Cassini will be photographing you!

| Thanks for keeping this thread current, Gen. Do you think ordinary binoculars will be enough to see Saturn? |

If you can hold them steady enough, binoculars may resolve Saturn to a small (flattened) disk, but I don't think you can see the ring structure without a small telescope. At the time of the photo-op, Saturn will still be lost in daylight (near the eastern horizon) from North America, and so not visible at all for several more hours. |
