I love this art project. It's called 20Hz and it uses data collected by the CARISMA radio array to turn the solar wind sound into beautiful threedimensional waveforms. Mesmerizing. [Lighthouse via The Creators Project] More »
Besides a reduced monthly power bill, there's a certain smug satisfaction to recharging your gear with solar energy. It's almost like you want everyone to know how eco conscious you're being, and with the Changer solar charging system, you'll actually be rewarded for bragging about it. More »
I overheard a part of a conversation today.
A guy said that Einstein said "if i'm right then there would be a solar event seen off the west coast of Africa", and that it happened,

How many years later was it?
The prediction itself...
The existence of a world with a double sunset, as portrayed in the film Star Wars more than 30 years ago, is now scientific fact. NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a circumbinary planet -- a planet orbiting two stars -- 200 light-years from Earth. Unlike Star...
NASA is giving the public the power to journey through the solar system using a new interactive Web-based tool.
The "Eyes on the Solar System" interface combines video game technology and NASA data to create an environment for users to ride along with agency spacecraft and explore the cosmos...
Solar power is not all sunshine. It has a dark side - particularly in developing countries, according to a new study by a University of Tennessee, Knoxville, engineering professor. A study by Chris Cherry, assistant professor in civil and environmental engineering, found that solar power heavily...
A new hybrid power plant to be built in Turkey will combine a traditional gas-fired steam turbine with solar thermal power and wind power, according to GE. It's a step toward integrating renewable sources into the traditional power grid, using steam and mirrors. More »
There are just too many advantages of solar energy over the non-renewable resources like oil. Solar energy is healthier than oil. The burning of oil releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into our environment. The average home produces more than twice the amount of carbon dioxide...

I was watching the solarbabies movie, and went on the movie site to look up the actors list but the boy is not listed. I know I have seen him in other shows playing the same jerk charicture, but I can't find his name or info anywhere.
I know there had been many discussions about that, but they were not descriptive enough. I have just watched a film about global warming, and I made a calculation that my family can save up to 50-60$ per year from such device. I wan to ask if such thing exists and if yes, does it really work, or...

They say when people ask questions like: Whats the difference between a solar system and a galaxy?, The answer would be: The word solar means sun and a solar system is a bunch of blah blah, while a galaxy is a whole bunch of stars encrusted together in one giant black hole. But my people (saying...
Interesting question for those who are interested (and have the know-how, which I lack). The question is as follows: How long would it take a square solar sail 10ft on every side and an undetermined mass (m) to travel from Earth to Alpha Centauri (4.134838 x 10^16 m away (1.34 parsecs))...
