Nasa spacecraft takes amazing thermal image of Saturn moon that looks just like Pac-Man

April 5, 2010 / 669608

Scientists operating the Cassini spacecraft in its orbit around Saturn have discovered that one of the planet’s moons looks remarkably like the hungry 1980s game icon Pac-Man.

Cassini took this thermal image of the surface of Mimas and produced a map which looks just like the game character.

The probe measures temperature differences across the object’s surface and scientists believe the variations are probably related to the diversity of textures in surface materials.

Lighter areas of the which appear in the image may retain the heat better than others, scientists explain.

Mimas is only around 250 miles across. It has a distinctive scar called the Herschel Crater, which has led to many comparisons with the ‘Death Star’ from the movies.

The Cassini team says the creation of the crater itself may have played a key role in the changing conditions across vast swathes of the ’s surface.

The project is a joint venture between the , the European Agency and the Italian Agency.

Its mission was recently extended until 2017.

Saturn has 62 moons with confirmed orbits. The largest is Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury.

The Scary Bits: Pathetic Plugs and Sundance Scares - Review

September 18, 2009 / 2906

Looks like next month’s Sundance Film Festival is offering four films that could accurately be labeled as “horror,” which isn’t a whole lot — but of course it’s all about quantity over quality. The quartet of creepy flicks are Paul Solet’s Grace; Jonathan Liebesman’s The Killing Room; Duncan Jones’ ; and a Norwegian import called . All four sound intriguing enough, but I’m particularly looking forward to Grace and , because I’ve been hearing stuff about both since, like, pre-production. Check out Dread Central for a handy little recap of these four movies, and of course keep your browser set to Cinematical once Sundance hits. Looks like it’ll be Erik, James and myself causing all sorts of cinematic damage. Read more …

UFO on the Moon in Apollo Days-Debunked? Review

August 16, 2009 / 7600

In on the in Apollo Days? You decide I posted a photograph that is alleged to be an official photograph showing a observing activities of Apollo 14 in 1971.

I had searched the GRIN (Great Images in ) database for both numbers assigned to the photo, as well as performing a web search. I was unable to find any photo online with those numbers, although they are apparently sequence numbers.

Of course, not all photos may be online. So I dug a little deeper.

Shown above is an authentic Apollo 14 image (#AS14-66-9306). Look at the lower right–see the bursts of color? Another photo?

Nope.

It shows Antares on the Frau Mauro Highlands on Feb. 5, 1971. And here’s the explanation provided:

A front view of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module “Antares”, which reflects a circular flare caused by the brilliant sun. The unusual ball of light was said by the astronauts to have a jewel-like appearance. At extreme left, the lower slope of Cone Crater can be seen.

For good measure, I found another Apollo 14 photo with lights nearby. This is #AS14-67-9367. cropped to accent the lights in the right corner. Read more …
