Particularly, says Smith, "in the past three years there has been a large push in technological advances that enable doctors to detect heart disease sooner, and thus make it more treatable." He also noted that these advances make new medications such as Ramipril more effective, as the drugs can now be used earlier in the progression of the disease...

But the only way Galileo could detect the tiny target was to fly there across many millions of miles of space and do its exploring up close. Now, thanks to new optics in the CFHT, it's possible to search for moonlets from the comfortable perch of a faraway Earth...
