GRAVITATIONAL PORTRAIT

As seen by a supersensitive gravity-detecting satellite, Earth isn’t a pale blue dot. It’s a colorful, irregular lump. Kind of like a tuber.

“Rotating potato — I don’t like this word,” said Roland Pail, a geoscientist at the Technical University of Munich. He and other researchers unveiled the new map of the Earth’s gravity field on March 31 at a scientific workshop in Munich.

Nikola Tesla

Don’t ever say Serbo-Croatia never did anything for you. If it wasn’t for Nikola Tesla, you might not be reading this now.

ENDEAVOUR

The US space shuttle Endeavour comes back to Earth on Wednesday for a landing in Florida that will close its 19-year operational career.The ship has spent the past two weeks at the International Space Station (ISS), where it delivered a $2bn particle physics experiment.Once on the ground, the orbiter will be decommissioned and prepared for public display in Los Angeles.This will leave just the Atlantis shuttle to make a final flight in July.Assuming the weather is favourable, Commander Mark Kelly should be able to glide Endeavour to a touch down at the Kennedy Space Center at 0235 local time (0635 GMT).
