The Moon appears to have more craters and scars than Earth because it has a

lot less natural activity going on, the Earth is constantly reforming its surface

through earthquakes, erosion, rain, wind and plants growing on the surface,

while the moon has very little weather to alter its appearance.

Pluto's big moon Charon reveals a colourful and violent history NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has re-

turned the best color and the highest resolu-

tion images yet of Pluto's largest moon,

Charon – and these pictures show a surpris-

ingly complex and violent history. At half

the diameter of Pluto, Charon is the largest

satellite relative to its planet in the solar

system. Many New Horizons scientists

expected Charon to be a monotonous, cra-

ter-battered world; instead, they're finding a

landscape covered with mountains, can-

yons, landslides, surface-color variations

and more.

High-resolution images of the Pluto-facing

hemisphere of Charon, taken by New Horizons as the spacecraft sped through the

Pluto system on July 14 and transmitted to Earth on Sept. 21, reveal details of a belt of

fractures and canyons just north of the moon's equator. This great canyon system

stretches more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) across the entire face of Charon and

likely around onto Charon's far side. Four times as long as the Grand Canyon, and

twice as deep in places, these faults and canyons indicate a titanic geological upheaval

in Charon's past.

The team has also discovered that the plains south of the Charon's canyon—informally

referred to as Vulcan Planum—have fewer large craters than the regions to the north,

indicating that they are noticeably younger. The smoothness of the plains, as well as

their grooves and faint ridges, are clear signs of wide-scale resurfacing. One possibility

for the smooth surface is a kind of cold volcanic activity, called cryovolcanism. New

Horizons team member from the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. Even

higher-resolution Charon images and composition data are still to come as New

Horizons transmits data, stored on its digital recorders, over the next year

Mystery Solved: Water DOES Flow on Mars

Scientists have their first evidence that trickles of liquid water play a role in sculpting mys-

terious dark streaks that appear during summertime months on Mars, a finding that has im-

plications for potential life on Mars, as well as planning for future human expeditions. he

discovery, reported Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, follows years of speculation

and studies to learn why the faces of some cliff walls on Mars are streaked with narrow dark

slopes, some more than 300 feet long, that appear when temperatures are warm and then

vanish during the winter chill. Whatever the source of the water, its seasonal appearance on

the surface of Mars raises the prospect that life might be present on the planet today. For

now, far more information is needed about the chemistry of the water as well as its source.

Neuromorphic technology:

Computer chips that mimic the human brain.

Even today's best supercomputers cannot

rival the sophistication of the human brain.

Computers are linear, moving data back and

forth between memory chips and a central

processor over a high-speed backbone. The

brain, on the other hand, is fully

interconnected, with logic and memory inti-

mately cross-linked at billions of times the

density and diversity of that found in a mod-

ern computer. Neuromorphic chips aim to

process information in a fundamentally different way from traditional hardware, mim-

icking the brain's architecture to deliver a huge increase in a computer's thinking and

responding power.

Miniaturization has delivered massive increases in conventional computing power over

the years, but the bottleneck of shifting data continuously between stored memory and

central processors uses large amounts of energy and creates unwanted heat, limiting

further improvements. In contrast, neuromorphic chips can be more energy efficient

and powerful, combining data-storage and data-processing components into the same

interconnected modules. In this sense, the system copies the networked neurons that, in

their billions, make up the human brain.

Neuromorphic technology will be the next stage in powerful computing, enabling vastly

more rapid processing of data and a better capacity for machine learning. IBM's mil-

lion-neuron TrueNorth chip, revealed in prototype in August 2014, has a power effi-

ciency for certain tasks that is hundreds of times superior to a conventional CPU

(central processing unit), and more comparable for the first time to the human cortex.

Potential applications include: drones better able to process and respond to visual cues,

much more powerful and intelligent cameras and smartphones, and data-crunching on

a scale that may help unlock the secrets of financial markets or climate forecasting.

Computers will be able to anticipate and learn, rather than merely respond in prepro-

grammed ways.

Look Outside Look outside, see the trees

Watch the flowers in the breeze

Things won't be like this in a year or two

If polluting is all we do

Seize the night

Seize the day

Things won't always be this way

Thousands of people are dying

In the night you hear children crying

Let's stop the war

Our people are sore

The world can't help itself

Who cares about your wealth

Help me to help you

Show the world what you can do.

Footprints and tyre tracks left behind by astronauts on the moon will stay there

forever as there is no wind to blow them away.

The Solar System formed around 4.6 billion years ago..

The Sun is over 300000 times larger than earth.

Jupiter's 4 biggest moons are named Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and Io.
