NASA-funded scientists estimate from recent research that the volume of water molecules locked inside minerals in the moon’s interior could exceed the amount of water in the Great Lakes here on Earth.

Scientists at the Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory in Washington, along with other scientists across US , determined that the water was likely present very early in the moon’s formation history as hot magma started to cool and crystallize. This finding means water is native to the moon.

 The activities related to the realisation of Hylas satellite are progressing satisfactorily for delivery in August 2010 to the customer-  - said in a update dated 2nd April on ISRO's website. So the schedule launch of Hylas can be by the year end of 2010.

HYLAS,( Highly Adaptable Satellite) is the name of a small geostationary communications satellite planned for launch in 2010. HYLAS is being constructed by EADS Astrium for the UK telecommunications company Avanti Communications Plc.  

ind is one of the most mind-blowing facts about the entire universe — you get a bunch of cells, wire them up in a network, make them fire in patterns, and you get the human mind.How does the human brain interpret other people’s thoughts, make moral judgments, and comprehend belief systems? These questions have traditionally been the realm of philosophers and poets, but researchers at MIT are seeking — and finding — answers through scientific inquiry. ...
