Google's Search Service Is Not in Conformity with the iPhone SDK

We've all heard and been delighted by Google's Voice Search application, which is a great feature and, at the same time, another development the search giant can pride itself on. Moreover, the working standards of this service are not in any way questioned by anyone.

Saturn's Ring Disturbed

Saturn, the celestial version of the “Lord of the Rings,” doesn't just have one ring, as many might believe. In fact, what is perceived from pictures as a single, compact ring is formed of seven distinct smaller ring divisions, labeled from A to F. The main, more massive and compact rings are (from the outermost to the innermost) A, B and C, with D as a fainter, inwards one, almost touching the Saturnine clouds. The F, G and E rings are located outside of the A ring (in this order), and E is by far the widest (302,000 km, comparing to the others which are 5,000 to 30,500 km wide).

Moon's Volcanic Activity Longer Than Previously Believed

Images recently sent from the Japanese Moon orbiter KAGUYA (Japanese for “SELENE”) show that the volcanic activity on the far side of Earth's natural satellite may have ended later than scientists previously thought.

These deductions may provide new clues on the way in which the Moon evolved over time.
