First Habitable Planet, Oct 09, 2010
How many habitable planets are there in our galaxy, worlds that can sustain liquid water and support life? A great many suggests Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy at the University of California Santa Cruz and co-leader of the Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey. According to Vogt, 10 to 20 percent of planetary systems in our galaxy could contain at least one habitable planet. “When you multiply that by the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, that’s a large number. There could be tens of billions of these systems in our galaxy,” he mused. Read more »
Chang'E 2 launches to the Moon
Congratulations to China! Chang'E 2 successfully lifted off at 10:59:57 UTC today, October 1, 2010 aboard a Long March 3C rocket. Unlike its predecessor, Chang'E 2 rocketed directly to a lunar transfer orbit and will arrive at the Moon only 112 hours after launch (according to the Xinhua news agency). That would put its lunar arrival at about 03:00 on Wednesday, October 6. Here is some really terrific video coverage of the launch from CCTV.

Profit Plays For Canada – The World’s “Safest Economy”, Oct 09, 2010
I’ve said it once, and I’ll doubtless say it a few dozen more times before the U.S. economy returns to health: Just because you have to endure recessionary conditions doesn’t mean that your money has to.
That’s the argument I make when I urge Americans to search for investments outside U.S. borders. Ironically, your money doesn’t have to travel all that far: What’s arguably the world’s “safest economy” is actually located just north of the border.
I’m talking, of course, about investing in Canada.
