Blue Ring Around Uranus 269

ZedNaught writes "The BBC is reporting that 'astronomers have discovered that the planet Uranus has a blue ring - only the second found in the Solar System. Like the blue ring of Saturn, it probably owes its existence to an accompanying small moon.' According to the April issue of Science, the blue ring is one of two new outer rings recently discovered around Uranus using the infrared Keck adaptive optics system. The rings are blue and red like Saturn's E and G rings. The blue ring around Saturn hosts the moon Enceladus while the Uranus ring contains the moon Mab."

New Every Two is irrelevant now with the merger between Cingular and ATT wireless. I had cingular GSM service in the outer bay area, and never had problems with the coverage. One nice thing in California for Cingular/ATT folk is that with the merger, Cingular sold their 1900 only band netowrk in California to T-mobile, and are using it to reinvest in ATT's dual band network. Bottom line is better in-building coverage, and coverage further from the tower. (1900 MHz vs 850 MHz).
