They said it couldn't be done -- and for good reason, considering how difficult it must be for a creature to stretch its own body to a length of 576,682,810 miles. However, thanks to a little help from Namco Bandai, Noby Noby Boy 's community-driven "Girl" has managed to extend her torso from Earth to Jupiter , unlocking a new playable planet for all of the game's inhabitants. Make sure...
No matter what your thoughts are on the odd little game that is Noby Noby Boy you have to agree that Noby Noby Girl is one of the coolest community features in gaming around. See, as Noby Noby Boy eats in the game Noby Noby Girl grows longer and longer into outer space, and her growth is affected by every person who plays the game. She's pretty long now; so long, in fact, that she has reached Jupiter...
Image credit, Chris Wyatt (click on images to embiggen, it's worth it). Correspondent Chris Wyatt of Bendigo has sent in these terrific pictures of Jupiter and its Moons. Chris writes: "From mid August to early October I have made a number of efforts to photograph Jupiter, especially with the Great Red Spot (GRS) visible. I used my 10 inch dobsonian with my Canon S2IS camera with the magnification...
My eye on the sky The Moon in Aquarius moved towards conjunction with Jupiter and many will cheer up today. Love is still jarring though and everyone is still waiting for the cracks in the foundation to fix themselves which of course, is not something they are going to do. Even the people who realize the cracks won’t fix themselves are standing still for the most part. The other guy is going...

Astrobiology is a fascinating and complex field of science. It is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe, and is a relatively new field of science incorporating astronomy, biology, geology, palaeontology, physics, mathematics and other disciplines. It is even more fascinating given that we have never actually discovered life anywhere else in the universe!...
According to i09, citing National Geographic, there is oxygen-rich water on Jupiter's ice-covered moon, Europa:That amount of oxygen would be enough to support more than just microscopic life-forms: At least three million tons of fishlike creatures could theoretically live and...
Scientists Say Jupiter's Moon Europa Might Be Teeming With Fish - Space - io9 : "New evidence has come to light that the vast, ice-encrusted oceans of Europa may be harboring Earth-like life that lives on the oxygen-rich waters. Time to plan your extraterrestrial fishing trip? Maybe. Apparently, the oceans of Europa are fed with more than 100 times more oxygen than previous models suggested."...

“My plans as a career? Ha! I have none. No professional ambitions whatsoever. I write, I paint, and as long as I have money and time to do both those things then I’m alright. Maybe something will get published, maybe I’ll die unknown but I will write continuously, neverending. That’s what I want to do with my life.” I remember in primary school, I must’ve been eight,...

In a new research, a scientist has suggested that at least three million tons of fishlike creatures could theoretically live and breathe under Jupiter's moon Europa's global ocean.
Scientists have assembled the first global geological map of the Solar System’s largest moon – and in doing so have gathered new evidence into the formation of the large, icy satellite. Wes Patterson, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, led a seven-year effort to craft a detailed map of geological features on Ganymede, the largest moon
According to the Chinese astronomy, the destiny of a person is determined by the position of planets at the time of his birth. Based particularly on the position of Jupiter in its orbit, the celestial cycle is broken up into 12 segments.
