...gravitational pull puts stresses on the moon, causing the fissures from which the plumes erupt. "Enceladus' orbit around Saturn is eccentric," Mitchell says. It's just enough off of circular that the effect of gravity on the moon is different from one point to another, and different from the planet's other moons. "That difference in the tug would be enough to cause the body to distort differently as it goes around Saturn." The friction created when sides of the tiger stripes are pulled apart or pushed together at different points during orbit may be creating the heat that ultimately...
...engineer in New Zealand named Russell McMahon, who came up with a new design that makes better use of both the solar battery and the LEDs, allowing for a stronger, more dependable light.

"There's no limit geographically to the power of problem solving like this," says Kevin Kimberlin, Spencer Trask's CEO. "We're in the first inning of a new renaissance...
...better and that threat is too grave to wait for perfect knowledge before addressing it."

And a parent talking about their child, there’s no objectivity, to say, ‘Well, yeah, they probably had a point in dumping you.’ They’re just like ‘I’m your mother and I don’t have to be fair.’ So I thought it’d be funny if she wrote from the most biased point...
...Most of Mars remains unvisited by rovers, although orbiting satellites are providing good maps of surface conditions across the planet,” Knoll said...
