Cassini discovers organic material on Saturn moon
Friday, March 28, 2008 The Cassini–Huygens spacecraft has discovered “organic material” and water spewing from a geyser on one of Saturn‘s moons, Enceladus. According to NASA, the discovery was made when Cassini flew by the moon on March 12. “A completely unexpected surprise is that the chemistry of Enceladus, what’s coming out from inside, resembles that of a comet. To have primordial material coming out from inside a Saturn moon raises many questions on the formation of the Saturn system,” said Hunter Waite, principal investigator for the Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer at the Southwest Research Institute located in San Antonio, Texas. The Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer saw a much higher density of volatile gases, water vapor, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as organic materials, some 20 times denser than expected. This dramatic increase in density was evident as the spacecraft flew over the area of…

20-horse field for Derby dash
Saturday, May 7, 2005 The 131st run for the roses in Louisville, KY is set for Saturday at Churchill Downs. Post time is 6:04pm EDT under what should be partly sunny skies and a fast track. The 20-horse field contains 10 strong contenders in what promises to be a fast pace out front in the Kentucky Derby.

Given the early starting speed of Spanish Chestnut, it seems unlikely that any horse will easily set the pace. Showing strong closing in its last 4 races is…
