I was going to start out with another joke today,

but how funny is it when somebody says,

"2 Moons may be hiding in the rings of Your-anus!"

Report: 2 Moons may be hiding in the rings of Uranus!

by Mary Bowerman for USA Today on MSN News.com

"Two small dark moons might be hiding in the rings of Uranus, according to a new report. Researchers from the University of Idaho in Moscow reexamined data collected during the Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 and discovered what appeared to evidence of two small moons, according to the paper, which has been accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal. Uranus, which has dark, narrow rings, is known to have 27 moons, many of which were discovered from data collected when the Voyager 2 passed by in 1986. According to the new report, researchers Rob Chancia and Matthew Hedman say they discovered wavy patterns in two of Uranus’ rings, which could indicate the gravitational pull from two small moons. These patterns may be wakes from small moonlets orbiting exterior to these rings, the researchers say in the report. The moons are likely dark and very small, Hedman told New Scientist.  Not only are Uranus’s rings dark, so are most of the little satellites that are in that region,  Hedman told New Scientist."

Turning pollution into FUEL: Chemists accidentally discover a way to convert carbon dioxide into ethanol.

by Shivali Best For Mailonline 

"Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed an electrochemical process that uses tiny spikes of carbon and copper to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into ethanol. Dr Adam Rondinone, lead author of the study, said: 'We discovered somewhat by accident that this material worked. We were trying to study the first step of a proposed reaction when we realised that the catalyst was doing the entire reaction on its own. You can use it [ethanol] in the current vehicle fleet, right now, with no modifications, he added. The researchers created a catalyst – a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction - made of carbon, copper and nitrogen. When voltage was applied, the catalyst triggered a complex chemical reaction that essentially reverses the combustion process. With the help of the catalyst, the solution of carbon dioxide dissolved in water turned into ethanol with a yield of 63 per cent. Without the catalyst, this type of reaction normally results in a mix of several different products in small amounts."

New Human Cell Atlas Is Like Google Maps for the Body!

on Seeker

"A new international initiative to chart every single cell in the human body will help biologists and doctors understand, diagnose and treat disease. Imagine having the level of detail in Google Maps but for the inner workings of the human body. A new international initiative is creating an atlas that will chart every single cell in the human body, encompassing all of the tissues within Homo sapiens, scientists announced last week at a meeting in London. The revolutionary project, called the Human Cell Atlas, will help biologists and doctors understand, diagnose and treat diseases with the help of high-resolution images of healthy and atypical cells from every structure in the body. In sickness and in health, cells are the fundamental units of life, and only by knowing our cells will we be able to fully comprehend the mechanisms of human disease, Sten Linnarsson, a professor of molecular systems biology at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, who is participating in the initiative, said in a statement. The initiative was formally announced at an international meeting convened by the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, Welcome Trust Sanger Institute, and Welcome Trust on Oct. 13 and 14. At the meeting, researchers decided what to include in the initiative's first phase. The scientists said the project is expected to be as ambitious in scope as the Human Genome Project, which was the first successful undertaking to sequence the human genome — all of the 3 billion letters in human DNA."
