NASA TV quality
I have been waching NASA TV quite a bit lately. I am amazed at the visual quality of both the video and the live coverage.

Casimir effect inside a sphere Assuming a neutral nano-sphere constructed of a single shell of a homogeneous element, what would be the implications for the Casimir forces inside the sphere? Would they be isotropic? Has it ever been studied or measured? |

Vines and linen posts I've noticed that two vines I've got out the back of the house, have three different sets of tendrils growing towards the posts at either end of the linen line. Are they sensing the posts in some way and if so how? (heat from the sun/ shadows/ etc). |

Cars and moon mistaken as UFO Before there were the amount of privately owned cars on the roads, which exist now, did people report quite as often seeing the moon as a UFO?
