Our planet is nearly invisible in the twilight night, but the bright dot - Earth - has been enlarged in the inset. Under these conditions Earth is as small as Mars appears to us as we look up from our planet. Link

04.29.10Japan Sending Humanoid Robot to the Moon by 2015Via Pink Tentacle: In an ambitious new project unveiled on April 27, an Osaka-area business group has vowed to put a humanoid robot on the moon by 2015. The business group, known as SOHLA (Space Oriented Higashiosaka Leading Association), made headlines in January 2009 after their Maido-1 lightning observation microsatellite was launched into orbit. Their new project is to develop a bipedal humanoid robot — named “Maido-kun” — which can function in the harsh lunar environment. If all goes as planned, Maido-kun will be ready to travel to the moon in 2015. Link

The evidence turned conclusive with the deliberate crash of a NASA spacecraft into one of the craters last October, kicking up about 26 gallons of water. The effort focused on the south pole, with its larger and deeper craters, but last week, scientists reported there is also ice in craters near the north pole. And not just a dusting of frost.
