NASA Science News for April 16, 2010

Hubble images of Pluto have researchers scratching their heads and
wondering, what's happening on the dwarf planet? Molasses-colored
markings are just one of the mysteries explored in today's story from
Science@NASA.

A note to readers: You may have noticed that the "look and feel" of
Science@NASA stories has changed. There's no cause for alarm. Our core
product, simply- and clearly-told stories about NASA science, remains
the same. The changes are a sign of progress. Recently, the Science@NASA
team joined forces with the Science Mission Directorate at NASA
headquarters. Working together, we'll be able to cover a broader range
of NASA discoveries and develop "citizen science" opportunities for our
readers, while still producing old favorites such as Apollo Chronicles
and "looking up" stories about backyard astronomy events. The sky's the
limit.

Make sure NASA gets the concept of the orbital characteristic where
the Earth turns slowly through 360 degrees to the central Sun as
solely a consequence of its orbital motion,the actual role of
rotational orientation (tilt) in determining why the Earth has a
largely equatorial climate and why the inclusive hemispherical
patterns of Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter cannot be explained directly
using planetary dynamics thereby separating global climate from
weather.

Most of all,as an organisation once admired by the wider population,to
turn back to an adventurous spirit instead of indulging these commie
ideologies of 'comrade' scientist or 'citizen' scientist as they call
it,setting limitations to what people can do instead of adapting to
what people can actually do.
