Beluga whale 'makes human-like sounds'
Researchers in the US have been shocked to discover a beluga whale whose vocalisations were remarkably close to human speech.
 On the page at BBC News (use above link), below the Beluga photo, is a recording of the sounds...Love this! |

Hawaii volcano lava lake threatens to overflow. Very cool about the Beluga I could have sworn I heard "I love you" in there.

Pac Man in space!!!
"You could call this "Pac-Man, the Sequel." Scientists with NASA's Cassini mission have spotted a second feature shaped like the 1980s video game icon in the Saturn system, this time on the moon Tethys. (The first was found on Mimas in 2010). The pattern appears in thermal data obtained by Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer, with warmer areas making up the Pac-Man shape."

I'm sure the vocalizations go beyond this one word, but in the article they just mention the whale saying "out," and I'm thinking the poor thing is saying, "Get me the fuck out of here, out of this concrete box I've lived my life in." |

Asteroid to make very close pass to Earth
So I want to get on top of this issue:
Next week a 150 foot asteroid will pass very close to the Earth (17,000 miles being very close). However, no matter what else you might here NASA is saying there is *no* chance that this rock will hit the planet. None. Even though it will be within the area in which most satellites orbit there is very little chance it will even hit a satellite. How can we be so certain? Physics. Since we know how the Earth-Moon system affects the orbits of objects (since we've been putting objects in orbit for almost 60 years now) and we know the trajectory and speed of the asteroid, we know where it's going and how it will be effected by its close encounter with Earth. What will happen is that the rock is going to 'slingshot' around the Earth and head toward Sol where it will go into a long orbit. Article link below: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_2644960.html Cheers Aj
