Navy Railgun

The railgun takes its name from the two highly-conductive and electrically charged rails that form an electric circuit once a projectile is loaded.http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/20164/?nlid=857&a=f Unlike an explosion using gunpowder, the railgun uses these electromagnetic currents to accelerate its non-explosive projectiles. By being sent through several electrically charged parallel rails, the railgun's projectiles are accelerated to several times the speed of sound, up to Mach 7.http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/10/navy-railgun-shoots-bullets-electromagnet/

The weapon's design allows it to fire at two to three times the velocity of the navy's conventional weapons, allowing it to hit a target within 6 minutes. The railgun also has a longer range than the navy's conventional weapons, currently being able to fire up to 100 miles. The navy hopes to achieve the even higher range of 200 miles and pinpoint accuracy at this range through GPS technology.http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/12/10/navy-railgun-shoots-bullets-electromagnet/

Saturn Aurora

The planet Saturn, similar to Earth and Jupiter, has auroral displays at its north and south poles. These auroras -- called the aurora borealis and aurora australis on Earth -- are caused by energized particles from the Sun passing through a planetary magnetic field.

In November 2008, scientists revealed images from the Cassini space probe that show a second, infrared aurora across Saturn's north pole. This aurora, apparently generated by ionized hydrogen, is far larger and covers more area than experimental models predict. The reason for the infrared aurora's unique morphology is unknown.Nature: Complex structure within Saturn's infrared aurora (September 12, 2008)
