Oct 7 2009New Giant Ring Discovered Around Saturn

saturn-ring.jpg

Because space is awesome and full of mysteries (and butt-naked aliens), scientists just recently discovered a freaking huge new ice-and-dust ring around Saturn. I want it for engagement!

Although the ring dust is very cold -- minus 316 degrees Fahrenheit -- it shines with thermal radiation.


No one had looked at its location with an infrared instrument until now, Clavin said.

The bulk of the ring material starts about 3.7 million miles from the planet and extends outward about another 7.4 million miles.

The newly found ring is so huge it would take 1 billion Earths to fill it, JPL said.

1 billion earths -- that's a lot! Not as many as you could fit in my stomach, but I've been expanding it with balloons. I'm gonna be a drug mule!

Thanks to Calabasa209, who has been to space and knows things. Things you wouldn't even believe. I'm talking wormhole shit. Makes great fertilizer!

@24, I disagree. I think it's people (if you wanna call them that) like Scruffy that make this site more diverse. We can't ALL be awesome y' know?

Scruff, thank you for balancing us out. What would the village be without their idiot?

@28 good point deez, but I think this is one far beyond the average idiot we all occasionally don't mind

@29 don't bother trying to reason with him, when he used the name 'therealroboticdeatharmy' before people tried reasoning with him..... it was an utter waste of time

naas i would like to present to you...my balls

enjoy faggot

...going to request a +b from the good 'ol GW just to save us all the headache from the eyerolling

@36 what's that?

@37 banning his home ip block so www.geekologie.com will read 'forbidden: you do not have access to this website' when he tries logging on

It may take a few days, but if you've been here long enough to see how annoying some trolls have gotten in the past - - they eventually disappear and a +b is usually why

So scruff is RDA? I guess I shouldn't be suprised since he very vocally hates jews. I mean come on! Jew hating was SOOOO last 1940's.

...GW can turn this off to whomever he pleases whenever he pleases, this is his public domain. There's no rules or regulations protecting anybody here from anything..... nobody pays or subscribes, there's no terms to agree upon offering you protection or certain anonymity - he can do whatever he wants within reason without consequence (I think anyways)

good that should teach that pooch a lesson or two

I think he's beyond teaching for now, but his absence(when its final) will be good riddance to tardnoyance

Successful bloggers should take steps to make these kinda contests more common so that visitors get attracted.

Hi
i mean think of what could be happining...the planet could be going supernova, its gonna implode, mabye a couple of aliens are playing an interglactic prank...
