PHANTOM RAY, ROBOT FIGHTER JET

The Phantom Ray is about the same size as a fighter jet. Its will be able to carry about 1500 pounds ammo and weapons and also able to bank more than regular fighter jets without the pilot blacking out.

The UCAV is made by Boeing.

10th PLANET LARGER THAN PLUTO

NASA’s space telescope has found 10th Planet nicknamed "Xena" and its only slightly larger than Pluto.

Hubble is the only telescope capable of a good visible light measurement of the actual diameter of "Xena".

Only a handful of images were required to determine Xena's diameter. Located 10 billion miles from Earth with a diameter a little more than half the width of the United States, the object is 1.5 pixels across in Hubble's view. That's enough to make a precise size measurement

Finding that the largest known Kuiper Belt object is a virtual twin to Pluto may only further complicate the debate about whether to categorize the large icy worlds that populate the belt as planets. If Pluto were considered to be the minimum size for a planet, then Xena would fulfill this criterion, too. In time, the International Astronomical Union will designate the official name.

RISE IN METHANE DETECTED IN ARTIC

Levels of methane in the atmosphere rose 0.6 percent in 2008, according to preliminary data from the Zeppelin station on a remote island in the Norwegian Arctic, after a similar 0.6 percent gain in 2007, Norwegian officials said.

PLANCK "TIME MACHINE" TO STUDY BIG BANG

Planck will be launched by ESA along with the Herschel Space Observatory aboard an Ariane 5 ECA launcher from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana on May 14.

TELESCOPE POISED TO SPOT AIR-BREATHING ALIENS

SIGNS of life on planets beyond our own solar system may soon be in our sights. Experiments and calculations presented at an astrobiology meeting last week reveal how the coming generation of space telescopes will for the first time be capable of detecting "biosignatures" in the light from planets orbiting other stars.

EPA SAYS GREENHOUSE GASSES’ ENDANGER HEALTH

The Environmental Protection Agency said that Greenhouse gasses contribute to pollution and it also endangers heath.

Many public interest groups asked the Bush Administration to issue a statement about the Greenhouse gasses but they refused to and they also prohibited the States from issuing it saying that if the Federal Government couldn’t justify such a ruling, the States couldn’t either.
