	Oldest Planet Discovered Suggests: Earth May Survive an Apocalypse
...distance from the sun, comparable to the distance of V391 Peg b from its sun, has chances to survive an apocalypse in 5 billion years, when our sun starts swelling into a red giant, having run out of hydrogen fuel. The scientists believe that V391 Peg b has successfully passed through the red giant phase of its sun, that is presently burning helium rather than hydrogen. Besides the raw data received from the Middle Ea...

	NASA to Strike the Moon with a Double Sledgehammer
...Tony Colaprete, the mission's leading researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. It is worth mentioning that the prior Lunar Prospector mission spotted large volume of hydrogen at the moon's poles before smashing itself into a crater found on the South Pole of the moon. The new mission, entitled Lunar Crater and Observation Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), is much larger. It will start on Februa...

	Bombs to Become Safer for the Environment
...tal bombs were also less likely to explode by accident. It was also found that the toxic effect of G2ZT and HBT was much lower than in commonly used explosives. Though these bombs produced unsafe hydrogen cyanide gas, further improvements by mixing the compound with oxidizers were made to neutralize this gas. This also resulted in better performance, Thomas Klapötke, a chemist at the University of Munich in Germa...

	Jupiter's Satellites Can Bring Nuclear Winters to Earth
...round Saturn and a number of comets. Callisto features the oldest ice shell among all satellites in our solar system. The ice shell has not detonated previously, which is why it can be flooded with hydrogen and oxygen that are products of ice electrolysis. The consequences of the explosion could be lethal for our planet. "Callisto is a lot closer than Titan. The explosion of its shell will lead to nuclear winters on E...
