Did not really prove to be that useful. But time will tell. As for free-flyers; the LAST thing a space telescope operator wants is an object buzzing around, puffing off thruster gasses, reflecting light and possible pranging the telescope itself,? which has to maintain VERY low rates of translation (movement) in order to take long exposures.

By the end of the 19th Century, the relative spacing of the planets was known but the absolute distance between them was not. This scientific mystery spanning centuries was finally solved by accurate measurement of Venus Transits of 1874 and 1882.
Sky-watching, navigation and the poetry of the cosmos runs deep in Hawaiian culture. Now Hawaiian elementary school students are diving deeply into astronomy's the history and future through the Venus Transit.

Offering un-obstructed views of the Sun from horizon to horizon and superb weather, Hawaii was perfect for astronomers to view Venus Transits in 1874 and 1882. Such observations accurately determined the scale of the Solar System for the first time.

They think of all of the other possibilities so they must be there in the tests and results. Stick to finding resources. I don't understand what goes into scanning planets for life, but a way to scan for a resource can inevitably lead to finding life or earth like planets and what not. I don't think it's correct to look for something in a universe we hardly understand. There could be greater things than what we know that already exists

Hawaii is a metaphor for Earth's place in the cosmos. Native Hawaiians have long recognized the sky's spiritual and intellectual value. Hawaii hosted observers of the Venus Transits of 1874 & 1882; and it warmly supports astrophysicists today.

By: VideoFromSpace. on 23 May 12, 13:07:50 Not dreaming, but let's be real: Exploration when conducted by a for-profit entity is called either "prospecting" or "research and development."

With commercial competition, prices (in theory) come down. That's how we get cheaper exploration for science. But taxpayers we will still pay for this. And we SHOULD!

No fucking way! I believe SpaceX are at version 5 or 6 of their original engine. They have spent millions in R&D. Further more a rocket is NOT just an engine!
So you're saying they should reinvent the wheel just to please your retarded little mind.

Europe's Proba 2 satellite passed through the moons shadow four times, producing a time-lapse study of partial solar eclipses from above Earth's atmosphere on May 20th 2012.
Using filters that only pass light when excited hydrogen atoms change state, pro photographer Cory Poole stacked 700 frames to uncover prominences and other disturbances of the Sun's chromosphere. Learn how he did it at http://www.corypoole .com .

The future is looking brighter, I promise you.
SpaceX's ambition ... By: simonfcave. on 19 May 12, 16:46:14 SpaceX's ambition is pretty admirable. They've made huge progress in a relatively short amount of? time. This system that they're trying to get to the ISS is a stepping stone to a manned launch system. NASA's manned launch system was the Space Shuttle, which is now retired. That's sad and I share your disappointment, but it needed to happen. The Shuttle was expensive ($1bn per launch, prohibiting ambitious space exploration), unsafe, and incapable of ever going beyond low earth orbit.

A Mercury-sized planet, about 1500 light years away seems to be smoldering to ash from the heat of its nearby hot orange star. Researchers at MIT and NASA found a long tail of debris, similar to a comet, revolving in sync with the planet's orbit.
Comet has a very ... By: jani963. on 20 May 12, 20:32:00 Comet has a very elliptical orbit and is much smaller; usually made up of ice, dust and small rocks. As said in the description,? this is a mercury sized planet (which means a spherical rock not ice). Also the orbit is only 15 hrs.
The dusty tail ... By: Nilguiri. on 19 May 12, 10:16:48 The dusty tail would cause the gradual cutoff of light and a slope on the graph.
I think that a 2 body system would cause a more stepped cutoff in light with only 2 different levels of brightness as it transits the star, with the smaller body either there or not. Only if you should happen to detect one of the 2 bodies partially eclipsing the other. would you see any level between the 2 discrete high and? low levels, right?
