Pulsars are dying stars that emit regular bursts of light that can be detected with radio telescopes. The Taylor-Hulse pulsar system consists of two pulsars orbiting each other, and provides a highly accurate way to test Einstein's general theory of relativity...
...largest survey ever done on flatulence has determined that in Australia, at least, men emit intestinal gases nearly twice as often as women...
Cambridge Deputy Fire Chief William T. Rose said a ballast--a filament which runs through fluorescent lights--had worn out and begun to smoke. "The ballast began to heat up and emit a burning odor," he said...
...WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A BEATLES SONG could presage a scientific discovery? Astronomers report in the current Science that they have just found a wealth of diamonds floating inside the dense clouds of gas that drift between the stars. Warmed by stellar radiation, chemicals within the clouds emit ultrafaint light, a different sort for each kind of molecule. Observers have already used telescopes to identify the light from such substances as alcohol and formaldehyde. Now comes evidence of pure carbon in the crystalline form familiar to jewelers everywhere. Elizabeth Taylor needn't get excited: these diamonds are microscopic in size. While...

It's true that with this plan, we won't be able to see Bobby Knight emit steam from his ears. (Knight, the glowering genius who cut Charles Barkley from the '84 Olympic tryouts, is the coach whose Indiana University team is right up there in the all-important tantrums- endured statistical category.)
