All those years of brushing with cake icing seems to have paid off.

Since 1959, Gravity Probe B has overcome a half-dozen attempts at cancellation, countless technical hurdles and several delayed launches. The NASA-funded, university-developed spacecraft is now scheduled to begin its mission following an April 17 liftoff from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

There are two possible sources: either active volcanoes, none of which have been found yet on Mars, or microbes.

Possible tiny, flatulent aliens.

Why would anyone want to build something so destructive? Because by making their own prions, researchers can learn how they work. Learning how these deadly proteins operate is the first step in understanding how to stop their destruction.

Astronomers announced Monday the discovery of a large body that is the most distant object in the solar system, an object that could be part of the Oort Cloud. The object, officially known as 2003 VB12 but provisionally known as Sedna, was discovered by Caltech astronomers at Palomar Observatory in November 2003.
