Most humans instinctively stop dead in their tracks when upon hearing the unmistakable warning of a rattlesnake, rattling its tail. Even if we have never seen one before, it seems as though Mother Nature has written an obscure ???Rattlesnake Clause??? into the fine print of our genetic code. At a more cognitive level, the prospect of face-to-face, species-to-species contact with an extraterrestrial race seems to evoke a similar response. The rattle of possibility causes us to freeze in our tracks, for fear of stepping upon a coiled and foreboding destiny. Therefore, we must grapple with is the basic difference between Rattlesnakes and Aliens ??” Rattlesnakes cannot build star ships.

MYSTERY SPOT ON JUPITER BAFFLES ASTRONOMERS

Astronomers have spotted a strange, obvious and inexplicable black spot near the equator of Jupiter. A picture of the object is circling this planet electronically as researchers scratch their heads about what they've found. A second image, taken on another day by a different photographer, contains a similar looking spot. As of early today, the second image had deepened the mystery.

Some astronomers were at first puzzled over whether the two photos show the same thing or not. As it turns out, they do not. Researchers said the second image appears to reveal a transit of one of Jupiter's moons across the face of the planet. If that's right, then the two pictures represent a very interesting coincidence.

Shrinking Arctic Sea Ice is Accelerating

Recently observed change in Arctic temperatures and sea ice cover may be a harbinger of global climate changes to come, according to a recent NASA study. Satellite data -- the unique view from space -- are allowing researchers to more clearly see Arctic changes and develop an improved understanding of the possible effect on climate worldwide.

The Arctic warming study, appearing in the November 1 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate, shows that compared to the 1980s, most of the Arctic warmed significantly over the last decade, with the biggest temperature increases occurring over North America.

"The new study is unique in that, previously, similar studies made use of data from very few points scattered in various parts of the Arctic region," said the study's author, Dr. Josefino C. Comiso, senior research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "These results show the large spatial variability in the trends that only satellite data can provide." Comiso used surface temperatures taken from satellites between 1981 and 2001 in his study.

Hello yowusa, I signed up last night to read your articles. I received a confirmation email, but was unable to access your site. I tried entering my username and password, but the username panel kept reappearing. I canceled the operation and received an authorization required page. It said my browser may not be able to understand the instructions. I have an old computer that runs "windows 95". Thank you Stuart
