Astronomers Find Oldest Known Asteroids

Researchers from the University of Maryland have recently discovered three asteroids that appear to be roughly 4.55 billion years old, dating back to the formation of the Solar System. The scientists say that the asteroids have survived relatively unchanged since that time, and make good candidates for future space missions. "'The fall of the Allende meteorite in 1969 initiated a revolution in the study of the early Solar System,' said Tim McCoy, curator of the national meteorite collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. 'I find it amazing that it took us nearly 40 years to collect spectra of these [CAI-rich] objects and that those spectra would now initiate another revolution, pointing us to the asteroids that record this earliest stage in the history of our Solar System.

Need an Idea for a Solar System School Project? Build a Scale Model of the Solar System

Everyone seemed to enjoy the answer to my daughter's question, "what's the biggest star?", so I thought I'd give you another insight into space science at the Cain household. A couple of months ago, we built a scaled map of the Solar System. I thought I'd share my process and resources with you, and throw in a few cute pictures of the kids. So come on, let's build a solar system in your neighborhood.

Hot Water Sanitizable USP Quality Reverse Osmosis / EDI Water Purificaiton System

The Mar Cor Purification USPure system is a standard single skid design that includes pretreatment, Reverse Osmosis (RO) & Electrodeionization (EDI) on one integrated skid for fast installation & startup. The validatable system offers a pre-designed space saving layout that is cost effective and assures the reliable production of USP grades of water. The complete system provides for sanitary piping & instrumentation from the RO outlet through to the EDI outlet. The entire system is controlled by a PLC based control system. Two designs are available for sanitization either hot water or chemical. Each system is manufactured under strict Quality Control procedures conforming to ISO 9001:2000. To assure the system is ready for fast startup in your facility, each system is factory acceptance wet tested (FAT) prior to shipment.

Astronomers Locate Solar System Very Similar To Our Own

Smivs writes "Astronomers from St Andrews University in the UK have discovered a planetary system which looks much like our own. Dr Martin Dominik told BBC news: 'We found a system with two planets that take the roles of Jupiter and Saturn in our Solar System. These two planets have a similar mass ratio and similar orbital radius and a similar orbital period. The newfound planetary system, which orbits the star OGLE-2006-BLG-109L, is more compact than our own and is about five thousand light-years away. The OGLE planets were found using a technique called gravitational micro-lensing, in which light from the faraway planets is bent and magnified by the gravity of a foreground object, in this case a another star.'"

We don't charge our clients anything personalize thier system and consolidate their items on our system. Our system handles customized print, office supplies, advertising specialties and wearables. In fact Webb Mason asked us about using our system for one to one marketing with their salesforce before their IT staff decided they wanted to build something from scratch. (Who could blame them for wanting job security) It does work and we provide companies with a monthly report showing the hard cost savings and have also worked to provide soft cost savings when needed.

Ten Exotic Planets Outside Our Solar System Discovered With New Technique

An international team of astronomers has found 10 new "extra solar" planets, planets that orbit stars other than our sun. The team used a system of robotic cameras that yield a great deal of information about these other worlds, some of which are quite exotic. The system is expected to revolutionize scientific understanding of how planets form.
