Objects in Space That We Really, Really Can't Explain","excerptText":"Forget UFOs — there are a lot of objects and events in space that are identified, but still completely incomprehensible. From planets in our solar system, to inexplicable energy bursts from across the universe, here are some of the enduring mysteries of the space and time we call home.<i>Image via NASA</i><b>The Color of Jupiter's Red Storm</b><i>Image via NASA</i>You've probably seen amazing pictures of this massive, red hurricane that's been whirling across Jupiter's southern hemisphere for at least 400 years. We know it's a hurricane-like phenomenon, that you could fit 3 Earths inside it, and that it's cooler and higher than nearby clouds. Over centuries of observation, we've also discovered that it changes color, moving between a pale pink and a bright red. It's also shrinking. But why has it lasted for so long? Why does it change color? There are a lot of good theories, but we simply don't know the answers yet.<b>The Incredible Iciness of Saturn's Rings</b> <i>Image via NASA</i>The ultra-thin, icy rings of Saturn are another familiar part of our solar system are just as mysterious as Jupiter's red spot. We know what they're made of, and we understand some of the tidal forces that cause them to change shape. We're also pretty sure they formed 4.4 billion years ago, right around the time when most planets in the solar system were coalescing.

But several hours before Wednesday afternoon's planned flight, company officials took the unusual step of postponing the launch for fear solar radiation could doom the rocket.<p>Orbital Sciences' chief technical officer, Antonio Elias, said solar particles might interfere with electronics equipment in the rocket, and lead to a launch failure.<p>Although the solar storm barely rated moderate, some passenger jets were being diverted from the poles to avoid potential communication and health issues. GPS devices also were at risk.<p>But the six men aboard the space station were safe from the solar fallout, Nasa said, and satellites also faced no threat. The Cygnus cargo ship aboard the rocket, for example, is built to withstand radiation from solar flare-ups.<p>The storm will also push the colorful northern lights further south than usual to the northern US.<p>The Cygnus was supposed to fly in December, but a breakdown in the space station's cooling system required repairs by spacewalking astronauts. The repair job, which was completed on Christmas Eve, bumped the supply mission to this week. Then frigid temperatures forced a launch delay from Tuesday to Wednesday. Then came the sun — at full force.<p>Frank Culbertson, an executive vice president for Virginia-based Orbital Sciences, said the delays can be frustrating, but he pointed out there's nothing wrong with the rocket itself.<p>\"All we're really delaying is the success that's going to come when we execute this mission,\" he told reporters.<p>The solar flare peaked Tuesday afternoon, but more activity was expected. Company officials said they would decide by Wednesday evening whether to attempt a Thursday launch or wait for the sun to settle down.

Printing a Star Cluster: How the Blind Can Feel Hubble Space Pictures","excerptText":"Scientists at the Space Telescope Science Institute devised a clever way for the blind to experience the wonder of the cosmos: 3D printing images from the Hubble Space Telescope.<p><b>This icon­ic image of star clus­ter NGC 609</b> depicts sev­er­al bright, new­born stars wrapped in a resplen­dent bub­ble of gas and dust. But how do you com­mu­ni­cate the beau­ty and won­der of these cos­mic glam­or shots to the blind? Easy: Print them in 3D.<p>A team of astronomers and com­put­er engi­neers from the Space Tele­scope Sci­ence Insti­tute in Bal­ti­more, Md., is try­ing to trans­late 2D images from Hub­ble into tac­tile mod­els that can be fab­ri­cat­ed on a 3D print­er. Yes­ter­day, at a press con­fer­ence host­ed by the Amer­i­can Astro­nom­i­cal Soci­ety, astronomer Carol Chris­t­ian explained how the team turned the photo of NGC 609 into a print­out that can be \"seen\" by the blind.<p>\"We're mak­ing these for the visu­al­ly impaired, who could not appre­ci­ate Hub­ble images by look­ing at them, but now they'll begin to explore them through touch,\" he said.<p>In these 3D print­outs, made of plas­tic and rough­ly the size of a sheet of paper, dif­fer­ent fea­tures—stars, gas, and dust, for exam­ple—are rep­re­sent­ed not by color but by dif­fer­ent tex­tures, such as cir­cles, lines and dots. The vary­ing heights of the fea­tures cor­re­spond to vary­ing lev­els of bright­ness.<p>With the col­lab­o­ra­tion of the Nation­al Fed­er­a­tion of the Blind, the sci­en­tists test­ed dif­fer­ent designs with more than 100 vol­un­teers from ages 8 to 81 and refined the design based on their feed­back. \"We found we were able to cre­ate men­tal mod­els for these people,\" Chris­t­ian says. \"They would say, ‘I can see it, I can see it,' and then they would describe what they were see­ing in their head.\"<p>At the moment, these print­outs rep­re­sent 3D inter­pre­ta­tion of a flat image. But fur­ther down the line the team would like to cre­ate a 3D spher­i­cal model of NGC 609. \"That's turn­ing out to be quite a challenge,\" says Chris­t­ian—because Hub­ble doesn't see in 3D, cre­at­ing full 3D mod­els will require some sci­en­tif­ic and artis­tic inter­pre­ta­tion.<p>The team hopes that being able to expe­ri­ence Hub­ble data in a new way will pro­voke new insights and spur new ques­tions. The 3D print­outs may also be help­ful for sight­ed peo­ple who like to learn with their hands, Chris­t­ian said.<p>\"Our ulti­mate goal is for any­one who would like to hold a piece of the uni­verse in their hands, …","sourceURL":"http://www.popularmechanics.com/3d-printing-lets-the-blind-experience-gorgeous-hubble-pictures-16357847?%3Fsrc=rss","allowFullscreenImage":true,"inlineImage":{"mediumURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/popularmechanics.com/bff4f875031815d2a289e444aeffda5c2247c4da/original.jpg","smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/popularmechanics.com/bff4f875031815d2a289e444aeffda5c2247c4da/thumbnail.jpg","original_width":300,"original_height":300,"original_hints":"color,dark,focus-150-150,photo,rgb-87-105-130,still"},"readButtonCaption":"Read Article","sourceMagazineURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/flipmag?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.flipboard.com%2Fpopularmechanics.com%2F3607e769bce7855cd51ceaf9a8ca0b1e964344bf%2F6c85a8b00c3b2b916c05b80c4e82006a5da74f78%2Farticle.html&partner=popmech&tml§ion=flipboard%2Fcurator%252Fmagazine%252F9rBfppCJRTKf_aOy3HyYJQ%253Am%253A31349868&fallbackTml","language":"en","article":{"sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2F9rBfppCJRTKf_aOy3HyYJQ%3Am%3A31349868","partnerID":"popmech","url":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/popularmechanics.com/3607e769bce7855cd51ceaf9a8ca0b1e964344bf/6c85a8b00c3b2b916c05b80c4e82006a5da74f78/article.html"},"authorDisplayName":"By Sarah Fecht","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/6196/PopMechStack.jpg"},"referredByItems":[{"type":"status","authorDisplayName":"Mark Draper","authorUsername":"drapermk","userid":"31349868","authorDescription":"Based in Copenhagen, Denmark.","authorImage":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/4de28daf9a8d39da2b9581276b6b06a1967fbecc.jpg"},"text":"","urls":["http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/space/telescopes/3d-printing-lets-the-blind-experience-gorgeous-hubble-pictures-16357847?%3Fsrc=rss"],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"e4Kr-lzoTXaZzWeZR88xwA:a:31349868","dateCreated":1389272071,"ingestionTime":1389478455,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/user%2F31349868","title":"Mark Draper","linkType":"user","username":"drapermk","userID":"31349868","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/uploads/avatar/4de28daf9a8d39da2b9581276b6b06a1967fbecc.jpg"},"description":"Based in Copenhagen, Denmark."},{"type":"magazine","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2F9rBfppCJRTKf_aOy3HyYJQ%3Am%3A31349868","title":"Astronomy, space and physics","referringText":"Astronomy, space and physics","image":{"smallURL":"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VaRGidy6O14/UORsAeqYEXI/AAAAAAAAI8E/52gQH8XXqn4/s0/Mel15_anim2.gif"}}],"id":"flipboard-e4Kr-lzoTXaZzWeZR88xwA:a:31349868-1389272071"}],"service":"flipboard","remoteServiceItemID":"e4Kr-lzoTXaZzWeZR88xwA:a:31349868","dateCreated":1389272071,"ingestionTime":1389478455,"sectionLinks":[{"type":"author","service":"flipboard","remoteid":"flipboard/mix%2F37706953","title":"Popular Mechanics","referringText":"Popular Mechanics","linkType":"user","image":{"smallURL":"http://cdn.flipboard.com/dev_O/featured/6196/PopMechStack.jpg"}}],"partnerID":"popmech","flipboardSocialId":"flipboard-e4Kr-lzoTXaZzWeZR88xwA:a:31349868-1389272071","sectionID":"flipboard/curator%2Fmagazine%2F9rBfppCJRTKf_aOy3HyYJQ%3Am%3A31349868","time":86,"count":11,"rssText":null}]
