September 20, 2006 LOS ANGELES - Saturn's majestic ring system, visible through backyard telescopes, just got a little more crowded with the discovery of a faint, new ring encircling the giant planet, scientists said Tuesday.
The international Cassini spacecraft beamed back images this week showing the new ring, located inside the outermost E ring. The new ring crosses the orbits of the Saturn moons Janus and Epimetheus, leading scientists to believe tiny particles from the lunar surfaces gave rise to the ring. |

September 21, 2006 Found in Ethiopia, the fossilized skeleton of a young girl belongs to a pre-human species that is considered a symbol of evolution.
No one knows how her body found its way into the stream or how long her parents may have searched the shallows for the missing 3-year-old. The child's fossilized skeleton - a tiny skull, a jaw with baby teeth still intact, a clutch of finger bones, the curled commas of ribs - are remains of a domestic calamity 3.3 million years ago when the human family was in its infancy, so long ago that the river in which she may have drowned has turned to stone. |
