NASA going to the sun
NASA seemed to be hot headed right now, as it’s planning a visit to the hottest star around us. Yea, NASA is sending a Solar Probe Plus into the Sun’s atmosphere, which will be the first time any craft visits that place. Previously all data were collected from distances at least millions of miles away. Maybe now is a cooler season to visit the sun.
NASA has expressed two clear reasons why they planned this holiday trip: to determine why the sun’s corona is millions time hotter than its red hot surface, and to investigate into why the solar wind that we’ve been hearing a lot lately is getting accelerated. All this and more, will be answered before 2018, if, and only if, the Solar Probe Plus didn’t get melted by the sexy sun ladies. And please, someone tell NASA to build that if they wish to go to the sun.

Houston Dome Project
Can a geodesic dome save Houston? The Discovery Channel thinks so. Featuring gigantic doors that can be closed to insulate the city from inclement weather (hurricanes, etc.), apex vents for ventilation, and built using a "strong and lightweight plastic called ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or ETFE."
Some environmentalists seem to feel that the Houston dome project is the only way to save the city. I'm all for preserving nature.[via AC]

NASA's Hubble Captures Spaceship?
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a strange, spaceship-like object traveling at 11,000mph. Unlike comets, this object has an "X-shaped debris pattern [and] its 460-foot-wide nucleus is outside the dust halo and separated from the trail." Continue reading for a close-up.
This behavior is something which has never been seen before in a comet or any other solar-system-swooshing object.[via Gizmodo]

Hydrology
Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout Earth, and thus addresses both the hydrologic cycle and water resources. A practitioner of hydrology is a hydrologist, working within the fields of either earth or environmental science, physical geography, geology or civil and environmental engineering.
Domains of hydrology include hydrometeorology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management and water chemistry, where water plays the central role. Oceanography and meteorology are not included because water is only one of many important aspects.
Hydrological research is useful as it allows us to better understand the world in which we live, and also provides insight for environmental engineering, policy and planning.
