On June 18, a Honeywell-operated Gulfstream G450 successfully completed the first transatlantic biofuel flight. The twinjet's right Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engine was run on a 50-50 blend of Honeywell UOP's Green Jet Fuel and petroleum-based jet fuel.
In Thailand, ADB is lending up to $70 million to support the development of the world's largest solar photovoltaic energy plants in Asia. Once operational, it will generate enough electricity for 50,000 households.
http://www.solarenergyprosandconsinfo.com/ This will provide enough enrergy for 200,000 homes, in 1 hour the Sun can provide all of the planets electricity needs for a whole year. Solar energy is the future. Sometimes I see something that inspires me, and this solar energy tower does just that.
Hong Kong is producing energy a little greener today. The largest solar energy plant was recently opened on the island, as part of an effort to cut pollution.
Astronomers using ESO's leading exoplanet hunter HARPS have today announced more than fifty newly discovered planets around other stars. Among these are many rocky planets not much heavier than the Earth. One of them in particular seems to orbit in the habitable zone around its star. In this video news release we look at how astronomers discover these distant worlds and what the future may hold for finding rocky worlds like the Earth that may support life.
A quick look set to music of current and future NASA human space flight activities.

Kepler-10b is an Earth-size exoplanet Please visit http://www.SpaceChronology.com Video and narration: Credit: NASA/Kepler Mission/Dana Berry NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. Measuring 1.4 times the size of Earth, it is the smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system. The discovery of this so-called exoplanet is based on more than eight months of data collected by the spacecraft from May 2009 to early January 2010. This video is narrated by Kepler Deputy Science Team Lead Natalie Batalha.
Scientists have independently made the largest direct measurements of the invisible scaffolding of the universe, using the gravitational lensing effect known as
The answer to one of the most exciting questions in particle physics seems almost close enough to touch: Scientists have observed first signs of the Higgs boson and now believe that they will soon be able to prove the existence of the elementary particle they have been trying so hard to isolate.
