Giant Plant That Eats Rodents Discovered in Southeast Asia
by xrammyx on Aug.20, 2009, under My World
A giant plant that can gobble up bugs and even rodents has been discovered in Southeast Asia.
The carnivorous plant (nepenthes attenboroughii) was found by researchers atop Mt. Victoria, a remote mountain in Palawan, Philippines. The research team, led by Stewart McPherson of Red Fern Natural History Productions, had learned of the plant in 2000 after a group of Christian missionaries stumbled upon it while trekking up a remote mountain and reported it to a local newspaper.
The discovery, announced last week, was detailed in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
This is cool I wonder if i can get a plant like this, lol
Wisconsin Construction Crew Uncovers Possible Native American Burial Ground
by xrammyx on Aug.05, 2009, under My World
Wisconsin construction crew reportedly uncovered human remains that may be nearly 800 years old.
Archaeologists said the bones, found along a highway, may be those of a Native American woman dating back to the year 1250, according to FOX 11.
The scientists believe the site may have been a burial ground and will continue digging for more remains, FOX 11 reported.
Construction on the property was postponed until the State Historical Society can thoroughly examine the findings, the station reported.
1 Million MPH Stars Move Through Galaxy
by xrammyx on Aug.05, 2009, under My World
Stars in a distant galaxy move at stunning speeds — greater than 1 million mph, astronomers have revealed.
These hyperactive stars move at about twice the speed of our sun through the Milky Way, because their host galaxy is very massive, yet strangely compact. The scene, which has theorists baffled, is 11 billion light-years away. It is the first time motions of individual stars have been measured in a galaxy so distant.
While the stars’ swiftness is notable, stars in other galaxies have been observed to travel at similarly high speeds. In those situations, it was usually because they were interlopers from outside, or circling close to a black hole.
But in this case, the stars’ high velocities help astronomers confirm that the galaxy they belong to really is as massive as earlier data suggested.

Bursting at the Seams
Dramatic plumes, both large and small, spray water ice out from many locations along the famed 'tiger stripes' near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The tiger stripes are fissures that spray icy particles, water vapor and organic compounds. This mosaic was created from two high-resolution images that were captured by the narrow-angle camera when NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew past Enceladus and through the jets on Nov. 21, 2009. Imaging the jets over time will allow Cassini scientists to study the consistency of their activity. Image Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
