An undersea volcano has erupted off the coast of Oregon, spewing forth a layer of lava more than 12 feet (4 meters) thick in some places, and opening up deep vents that belch forth a cloudy stew of hot water and microbes from deep inside the Earth. (LiveScience)

Cosmic census finds crowd of planets in our galaxy

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are astronomical: at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way.

At least 500 million of those planets are in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold zone where life could exist. The numbers were extrapolated from the early results of NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope.

Kepler science chief William Borucki says scientists took the number of planets they found in the first year of searching a small part of the night sky and then made an estimate on how likely stars are to have planets. Kepler spots planets as they pass between Earth and the star it orbits.

So far Kepler has found 1,235 candidate planets, with 54 in the Goldilocks zone, where life could possibly exist. Kepler’s main mission is not to examine individual worlds, but give astronomers a sense of how many planets, especially potentially habitable ones, there are likely to be in our galaxy. They would use the one-four-hundredth of the night sky that Kepler is looking at and extrapolate from there.

Navy Allowed to Kill Whales

WASHINGTON (CN) – The National Marine Fisheries Service has issued letters authorizing the armed services to injure or kill up to 10 beaked whales during training exercises in the Mariana Islands over the next five years.The agency also has authorized the injury of individuals of 26 additional species during the same period.
Beaked whales are the deepest diving whales, and have been known to plunge nearly 2,000 meters deep. To reach such depths and survive without getting the bends, the whales must surface slowly and have been observed taking 80 minutes to resurface after a particularly deep dive.

This is worth the two seconds. A Daddy decided that the television was more important than taking his little girl to the beach.

All I can say about her response is “OUCH!”
