Comment Those also sink (Score 1) 218

Subs are designed to sink.

Its part of their mission.

There was a british nuclear sub involved in the search for MH370
I don't know if its still on the case, given that no more pings have been heard, and they expect the batteries of the black boxes to have run out by now. A nuclear attack sub has good passive sonar, great for detecting other sound, but not useful at looking at the ocean bottom for wreakage.

Comment Iapetus (Score 1) 51

"Iapetus, Saturn's third largest moon, was first photographed by the Cassini spacecraft on 31 December 2004."

Really? First photographed in 2004? Didn't any of the earlier probes like Voyager take pictures of it?

I seem to remember something about strange light and dark patterns on that moon from a book i read many years ago.
I think it was written by a "distinguished but elderly scientist"
