Re: No faster-than-light neutrinos, No big bang.
Are you guys thinking that the Big Bang happened only once? What if it is a continuous never-ending process?

Re: APOD: Slope Streaks in Acheron Fossae on Mars (2010 Mar
Is it possible for Mars to have undergone an atmospheric event/differentiation that might have somehow separated the carbon from the carbon dioxide allowing it to fall to the surface?

Re: Saturns Hexagon Comes to Light (2009 Dec 14)
Here's another one straight from my imagination...how about a slightly magnetized neutron star interacting with Saturn's ionizing gases. (The neutron star being inside Saturn) I'm not even sure if that is possible...

Re: Moons of Jupiter (7/14/09)
In regards to the first post, there was a fairly recent exhibit (last two years or so) at the Seattle Science Center which gave credit to the Chinese as knowing of the Galilean moons as early as 300 B.C. I suspect humanity has been observing them as long as the pan flute as been around. It may have ...

For Neufer,
What effect does radio silent space have on pulsar radio waves?
Does this differ than radio noise from the Milky Way?

Re: Fresh Tiger Stripes on Saturn's Enceladus(2009 June 28)
Granted its' mass is probably much too high, but could Enceladus at some point turn into a comet if Saturn's gravitational forces continue to act on it?
Does anyone know the theoretical maximum size that a cometary core can be?
