Strange new world

Article Abstract:

The successful landing of the Huygens probe on Titan, Saturn's large and mysterious satellite, delighted planetary scientists, who thrilled at the probe's images of icy ridges and dark, river like channels. Titan is similar to earth in many ways, as it has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen, and methane, which condenses at low temperature and appears to play the same meteorological role on Titan as water does on Earth.

My virtual war

Article Abstract:

The Office of Naval Research develops training system called as Virtual Technologies and Environment (VIRTE) that allows users to transverse a virtual battlefield and confront computer-generated enemies. A glimpse of this high-tech training system gives appreciation for the rigors of combat as well as a slice of fear and fair amount of exhaustion.
