How Kleopatra got its moons
The asteroid Kleopatra was first seen as a bright dot in the asteroid belt in 1880, but only in 2000 was it found to have a highly elongated, dogbone shape. UC Berkeley and French astronomers have now found two moons orbiting the asteroid, newly named Alexhelios and Cleoselene after the twins of Queen Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony.

If you haven't seen the Space Shuttle launch before, then you shouldn't wait any longer. NASA has been ordered to end the Space Shuttle program, thus the next five missions for the Space Shuttle teams will be their last, making it the priority of sub contractors and other third party space exploration companies to find a new way to shuttle people back and forth to and from the

Study of volcanoes in the outer solar system produces unexpected bonus for nanotechnology
Study of volcanoes in the outer solar system produces unexpected bonus for nanotechnology
Mysterious expanding ice crystals in the moons of Saturn and Neptune may be of interest to future developers of microelectronics. Neutron scattering has discovered that methanol crystals that may be found in outer solar system ‘ice lavas’ have unusual expansion properties. The unexpected finding by a planetary geologist will interest developers of ‘nano-switches’ – single atom thick valves

Interesting Sights From A Large Telescope Mirror
A telescope is an instrument designed to look into faraway places. The first ones were created as far back as the 11th century by Arabian scientists. This era was known as the Golden Age of Islam and the invention of the optical lens that later lead to the development of the first telescope was one of numerous inventions of many other 'firsts' by Arab or Muslim Scientists.
