Moon's Craters Give New Clues To Early Solar System BombardmentProvidence RI (SPX) Sep 20, 2010 Take a cursory look at the moon, and it can resemble a pockmarked golf ball. The dimples and divots on its surface are testament that our satellite has withstood a barrage of impacts from comets, asteroids and other space matter throughout much of its history. Because the geological record of that pummeling remains largely intact, scientists have leaned on the moon to reconstruct the chaotic early days of the inner solar system. Now a team led by Brown University planetary geologists has produced ... read more |

Long struggle to free the Baltic Sea of minesKlaipeda, Lithuania (AFP) Sept 9, 2010 The deck of a Lithuanian mine-sweeper shakes as a blast rips below the Baltic Sea, sending a geyser of water rising into the sky. Ships from seven other Baltic navies, plus their counterparts from Belgium and France, have stepped in to help Lithuania tackle an enduring legacy of World Wars I and II, when both sides littered the sea with mines. The two-week Operation Open Spirit, which ended this week, was the latest in a long drive to clear the potentially deadly devices from the Baltic. The ... read more |
