POPSSuper-Space Cube "to Link All Known Technologies" It's not just the connections that are built for extraterrestrial operation: the unit is highly impact resistant, of course compact, and draws a minuscule five watts to operate. The trade off for these tiny requirements is less than impressive specs: a 300 MHz processor and only 16 MB of RAM.

POPSSolar System Dented, Not Round The "bottom" of the egg is flattened by a permanent clash of particles, as the outbound solar wind smashes into atomic debris hurtling in from interstellar space, the scientists theorize. Voyager 2 also crossed the "termination shock" several times within the space of a single day, showing that the boundary is in perpetual flux, like the ebb-and-flow of a tide.

POPSHungry, hungry black holes The conclusion comes from a large observing campaign of the spiral galaxy M81, which is about 12 million light-years from Earth. In the center of M81 is a black hole that is about 70 million times more massive than the Sun, and generates energy and radiation as it pulls gas in the central region of the galaxy inwards at high speed.

POPSBricks Litter Space Shuttle Launch Pad Grounds Bloody reporters. "Most of the bricks were still scattered over the ground Monday, many of them in fragments, resembling the aftermath of a volcanic eruption." So this one thinks a few thousand bricks looks like the earth has moved. Must have pretty one sided relationships.
