Object Lesson: Pluto’s Smallest Neighbors Prove Tough to Find (Scientific American)
For decades Pluto, later joined by its moon Charon, had a wide swath to itself on astronomers' plots of the solar system--no other bodies were known to dwell beyond Neptune in the long-hypothesized debris field known as the Kuiper Belt. But in 1992 a pair of astronomers turned up 1992 QB1 , a body about 200 kilometers wide circling the sun at a distance of about 6.5 billion kilometers, well ...

The steep slope we are descending provides a commanding view of the forest below us and in the distance we suddenly hear the dogs yelping, squealing and barking....

Hair Salons “Greening” Up
EarthTalk ® From the Editors of E/The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk : As I understand it, hair salons are pretty toxic enterprises on many counts. Are there any efforts underway to green up that industry? – Paula Howe, San Francisco, CA Hair salons have long been criticized for the pollution they generate. Traditional hair dyes and many shampoos contain harmful synthetic chemicals that are routinely used on customers’ scalps—and then washed down the drain where

This tiny little rodent seems much more like an itty bitty kangaroo, and has some rather incredible talents of it’s own.The jerboa is first and foremost a rodent, but it does not act like any rat or mouse. The jerboa is actually about six inches or so, and their tails are longer than their bodies at eleven inches. When you add in the strong hind legs that allow the jerboa to lea

Hot Weather Towns
Colombia, land of winding roads; you go among the scenic Andes only by means of twists and turns. When you are not descending, you are ascending. This does not hold in all the country of course; it has long, flat regions, some of which you can only navigate by boat, but it is a big country, and the obstacle of the mountains makes the distance that much longer. The endless, curving roads have been laid all over the indifferent slopes connecting concentrations of population. One such concentra
