Jupiter Could Have Earth-like Rocky Core

Jupiter has a rocky core that is more than twice as large as previously thought, according to computer calculations by a geophysicist who simulated conditions inside the planet on the scale of individual hydrogen and helium atoms. "Our simulations show there is a big rocky object in the center surrounded by an ice layer and hardly any ice elsewhere in the planet," said Burkhard Militzer from University of California, Berkeley. "This is a very different result for the interior structure of Jupiter than other recent models, which predict a relatively small or hardly any core and a mixture of ices throughout the atmosphere." A comparison of this model with the planet's known mass, radius, surface temperature, gravity and equatorial bulge implies that Jupiter's core is an Earth-like rock 14 to 18 times the mass of Earth, or about one-twentiet

Review: 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'

If you are one of those midnight movie devotees still on the lookout for the next "Rocky Horror Picture Show," – well, keep on looking. "Repo! The Genetic Opera," based on a fringe stage musical that played in Los Angeles a few years back, is like a compost of "Rocky Horror" and "Sweeney Todd," but without the floridity or the savage wit. It's set in 2056 when an epidemic of organ failures has created a thriving industry in organ transplants administered by a nefarious conglomerate called GeneCo. Its president, the appropriately named Rotti Largo, is played by Paul Sorvino, who has sung opera professionally and has a suitably strong voice. Sarah Brightman, who once starred in "Phantom of the Opera" and was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber, plays the haglike Blind Mag and lends some oomph to the relatively tone-deaf score.
