Well the scaling of this certainly failed since Edmund Fitzgerald certainly does not look longer than the depth of the lake at where it sank. It's length is 150% the depth of the water. lol @ david bowie and freddie mercury xD |

Mysterious Objects Punching Holes In Weird Saturn Ring
"Mysterious objects appear to be doing some damage to Saturn's "weirdest
ring," scientists say. The discovery comes from detailed photos taken of the Saturn system by NASA's Cassini orbiter. In these images, researchers spotted strange objects about a half-mile (kilometer) wide tearing through Saturn's F ring, the thin outermost discrete ring around the planet. As they pass through the ring, these interlopers drag glittering ice particles out with them, creating visible trails of debris scientists are calling "mini jets.""

Quantum cruncher beats today's computers by 10^^80
"An international team of scientists has created a quantum device with “the
potential to perform calculations that would require a supercomputer larger than the size of the known universe.” So says the University of Sydney's Dr Michael Biercuk of the University's School of Physics, the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and the team that worked on the device discussed in a Nature paper released yesterday. The quantum device in question uses a pancake-shaped crystal of beryllium ions – 300 to be precise – that Bieruck says the team built “from scratch, atom by atom”. He told ABC radio that lasers, pumps and vacuum chambers were used to create the disc, and that the rig occupies only a single room."

Lava coils? Never heard of such a thing, sounds so cool. I wonder what's the theory/reasoning behind its formation. |

European Space Agency heads for Jupiter's moons
"The European Space Agency has decided against pursuing the New Gravitational
wave Observatory (NGO) the Advanced Telescope for High-Energy Astrophysics (ATHENA) and will instead head for Jupiter with a craft dubbed the Jupiter Icy moons Explorer - or JUICE for short. JUICE will launch in 2022 and cruise for eight years en route to the Jovian system. Once it arrives it will visit Callisto and pass Europa twice. The former moon is the most heavily-cratered object in the solar system. The latter is famously encrusted in ice (and Arthur C Clarke plots) and the probe will try to measure just how thick the frozen coverage has become."
