...addition to collecting particles for analysis in an ion and neutral mass spectrometer, and a cosmic dust analyzer, Cassini will photograph yet unseen parts near the moon's south pole. It will also use infrared technology to create a comprehensive map of surface temperatures at the south pole. Warmer temperatures increase the likelihood that there is water in liquid form on the small moon...
...view. This may seem counter-intuitive: how can an argument be sustained if it takes an unrealistic stance? Yet it is this very extreme position that enables its survival and growth of public sentiment in support of it.

...very appropriate thing for Harvard to do.” Faust said Harvard is committed to expanding opportunities in engineering with an aim toward making a school that trains “renaissance engineers,” rather than attempting to mimic the school at the other end of Mass. Ave. “We will never have the size engineering school that MIT does,” Faust said, “but we see real opportunities for what an engineering school can be in the midst of a liberal arts university.” The SEAS currently comprises...
