Volcano Erupts on Jupiter’s Moon Io

This five-frame sequence of New Horizons images captures the giant plume from Io’s Tvashtar volcano. Snapped by the probe’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) as the spacecraft flew past Jupiter earlier this year, this first-ever “movie” of an Io plume clearly shows motion in the cloud of volcanic debris, which extends 330 kilometers (200 mi) above the moon’s surface. Only the upper part of the plume is visible from this vantage point — the plume’s source is 130 kilometers (80 mi) below the edge of Io’s disk, on the far side of the moon…

A fairly dangerous photoset.
Going over the Outerbridge Crossing into Staten Island.

I always like to see NJ in my rear view.

8bitfuture:

Ancient fossils found in meteorite.

A newly published research paper reveals an analysis of fragments of a fireball that appeared in the sky over Sri Lanka late last year. Researchers at Cardiff University analysed many samples collected in the following days, and after ruling out terrestrial contamination on three different pieces, have found carbon-rich microfossil structures within the rocks.

According to the team, their analysis “provides clear and convincing evidence that these obviously ancient remains of extinct marine algae found embedded in the Polonnaruwa meteorite are indigenous to the stones and not the result of post-arrival microbial contaminants”.

Although the research shows the stone pieces came from space, the paper could not reveal for certain where they originally came from. In fact they could be from Earth - a remnant of one of many asteroid impacts in Earths history which eject rocks into space. This is unlikely, however, as one of the structures found on the stones is so extremely long and thin it seems to have been formed in a low-gravity, low-pressure environment.

don’t trust the journal of cosmology.
I mean if not for the myriad of false claims and media bait,
then for their website:

http://journalofcosmology.com/

it looks like an angelfire blog I made circa 2001 devoted to my crippling pyromania.

I mean, truth will out and everything. I’m not about silencing these guys, but there is only so many times you can get called out for being unscientific, and not supporting your claims with evidence.

I give Phil Plait 2 days to write an article about this.
