POPSPhone recommendation Just passing along a little feedback on this new release for those who aren't big on blackberry or iphone. I upgraded to this just released model about two weeks ago. It hadn't even hit the floor yet, but they let me have it because they were out of stock on the previous model. My wife and I both got one and we find them exceptional. For anyone who takes a lot of pictures with their phone, I don;t believe there is a better camera option out there (it will blow you away). I have mine fully loaded with gps, vcast, internet browsing etc and the ease of use and speed is really good. .....just a word on a new product for anyone interested.

POPSNASA launches probe to study edge of solar system "The interstellar boundary regions are critical because they shield us from the vast majority of dangerous galactic cosmic rays, which otherwise would penetrate into Earth's orbit and make human spaceflight much more dangerous," David McComas, IBEX principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas, said recently.

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.

POPSSolar system a bit squashed, not nicely round "Imagine a balloon is being blown up by the solar wind. You might imagine that if you took a balloon, which is mainly spherical, and pushed it against the wall, it would be blunted on one side," said Edward Stone of the California Institute of Technology, one of the scientists involved in the research.

POPSVoyager 2 Finds Lopsided Solar System Still transmitting, the three-decade-old craft encounters turbulence in solar wind. Hurtling through space 31 years after its launch, the Voyager 2 spacecraft has sent back the most detailed view yet of the shock wave that marks the thinning of the solar wind, the charged particles streaming from the sun. That would mean they have exited the solar system and entered the interstellar medium. NASA engineers estimate that both probes' plutonium power packs have the potential to keep them broadcasting data until 2025. If we're lucky, Jokippi says, they'll let us know what they find.
