...moment long awaited by NASA scientists, the unmanned orbiter Cassini will pass through geysers of ice, water vapor and dust erupting from the southern pole of the 310-mile-wide moon Enceladus, in hopes of collecting fine particles. The 465-mile-high plumes shooting out from fissures, or tiger stripes, in the moon's surface, were first discovered during a similar but much more distant flyby...
...collecting particles from the plumes of gas and water vapor bursting out of Enceladus at approximately 800 miles per hour, scientists hope to better understand the composition of the moon's surface in contrast to its interior - scientists believe that some of the plumes' water-ice particles emerge from within the moon and some bounce off its surface. Scientists also want to know whether there is any liquid water - an essential component to supporting life - below the moon's iced surface. "The thing that makes Enceladus so exciting is that all of the ingredients you would need to support life...
...plumes emit particles that are 90% water, in vaporized form, and contribute to the large rings around Saturn. "It's like the steam coming out of your kettle," Hansen-Koharcheck says. By analyzing the molecular structure of these particles, scientists hope to determine whether the vapor originates as ice or liquid, and whether that means there could be life in Enceladus's interior, beneath the surface of the ice...
...referees called the goal back, saying that the puck was deflected in by an illegal high stick.Not willing to let victory elude the Crimson a second time, tri-captain Caitlin Cahow took matters into her own hands. Cahow dashed across the length of the ice, weaving through traffic along the way and launched a shot past St. Lawrence goalie Meghan Guckian to win the game for Harvard.“Obviously it was frustrating to have the goal called back, but you can’t really control those things,” Cahow said. “It just...
...overtime, the No. 1 Harvard women’s hockey team thought it had put the game away.Junior defenseman Kati Vaughn launched a slapshot from the blue line that soared through traffic and into the back of the net. The red lamp lit up and the Crimson spilled the ice to celebrate its championship victory.But the referees disagreed, pulling back the goal after ruling that it had been deflected in by a high stick in front of the net.“We don’t know what the tape will look like, but we felt like we sort...
