Saturn's egg moon Methone is made of fluff

Out among Saturn's menagerie of moons, a shiny white egg rests in a nest of ice crystals. Named Methone, this small, oval moon was seen in close-up for the first time last year by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Methone is utterly unlike the other small balls of ice and rock that dot the solar system, which are deeply scarred by impacts. Instead it is smooth, with not a hill or pockmark in sight. Now astronomers may have a clue as to why: Methone is made of lightweight fluff.

In fact, this 5-kilometre-wide moon is one of a clutch of space eggs, all orbiting Saturn in the same region between the larger moons Mimas and Enceladus. None of its siblings have been imaged as closely as Methone, but from a distance two – Pallene and Aegaeon – appear to be fairly smooth as well.

Material at Methone's surface could beeve... more »

So Doctor Who fans, what did you think of "The Name of The Doctor"? Not what I was expecting but this season is suddenly looking a whole lot more interesting (although my grieving process for Amy and Rory is not yet over). Looking forward to seeing what Mr John Hurt is going to do for the show, and does this mean he's the 12th Doctor?

Have just watched "Terry Pratchett's: Choosing" to die documentary. Intense is the first word I can think of to describe it. Very emotional. Enlightening. 

I can only hope Terry is able to make the right decision for himself before the choice is taken from him. And I wish this kind of option had been available for my friend Andrew and the very many others like him, who instead choose a violent end for themselves.

Can anyone help me? Years ago I bought a book of short stories which included a story called "A twinkling of Fairy Bells". It was my favourite fairy tale ever but unfortunately I left it behind when I moved out of the marital home and the ex has never given it back to me.... and claims he no longer has it :(

I've tried to find this book again but can't remember the author's name so keep coming up blank. It's about a young priest taking over from the old priest, and finding his faith questioned when he attracts the interest of a fairy and they eventually fall in love. 

 It was a gorgeous story and I miss it. Any help tracking this down would be appreciated.

This is a brilliant short film which was a finalise in Tropfest.. it uses the Zombie trope but in a way that is a bit different than normal. I thought it was very sweet.
