Two Suns? Twin Stars Could Be Visible From Earth By 2012 - StumbleUpon By Dean Praetorius | HuffingtonPost.com Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily. Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we’d see a second sun, Carter says. The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer.

BEAUTY HAS NO COLOR Pentagon's Mach 20 Missile Ready for Ultimate Test | Danger Room |... Updated 8/10/11 11:24 a.m. EDT: Story changed to reflect new launch time. The Pentagon has been working for nearly a decade on an audacious plan to strike anywhere on the planet in less than an hour. Thursday could prove to be the do-or-die moment for that plan. At approximately 7 a.m. PDT, a three-stage Minotaur IV Lite rocket is scheduled to lift off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. That is, if the flight goes as planned. It was a loss not just for this single effort, but for the entire concept of “Prompt Global Strike,” the Pentagon plan to eliminate its enemies anywhere around the world. The Defense Department is pursuing three different families of technologies to accomplish the task. A second effort is to build shorter-range cruise missiles that can fly at five or six times the speed of sound. Some variation of the HTV-2 is the third choice; to some in the defense community, it’s the most appealing. The stakes are huge for the upcoming flight. Image: Darpa

mind the gap" I did intend to pick up a couple of points from the discussion over the last couple of days, but Rhowan and Finley haven't been particularly well over the last couple of days so we've now had three nights in a row where we didn't get enough sleep: one consequence of which is that I'm not feeling particularly erudite this evening. So, without further ado, here's this evening's shot. This was taken on the planet Venus earlier this week with Canon's new 128 gigapixel 'Truthomatic' camera.
