Radical Antarctic telescope ‘would outdo Hubble’
http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0409/17outdohubble/
A novel Antarctic telescope with 16-m diameter mirrors would far
outperform the Hubble Space Telescope, and could be built at a tiny fraction
of its cost, says a scientist from the Anglo-Australian Observatory in
Sydney, Australia.
Very interesting and novel concept, I just hope they get a working one up.

An asteroid big enough to wipe out all life on Earth will scrape past the
planet on Wednesday week. The asteroid Toutatis is almost five kilometres
long and 2.4 kilometres wide and shaped like a peanut.
Now this is cool. Makes my urge to purchase a telescope and film SLR Camera
stronger and stronger.
Mark your calendars, 28th September between 10pm and midnight. It will be
passing by Alpha Centauri, one of the pointers to the Southern Cross. :)
Just a bid of sheer stupidity to finish off the post. :P

At 4:30 p.m. PT, Tuesday afternoon: radio communications between
controllers on the ground and airplanes in route go down at the federal
aviation facility that controls the separation of planes over much of
California, Arizona and Nevada.
Basically there is a bug in the Traffic Control Software, the system needs
to be manually rebooted every 30days. Guess what? Some lazy bugger didn’t…
Tis all for now!
