Videos: First View Of The Tail Of Our Solar System, Shaped Like A Four-Leaf Clover
Like a comet, the solar system has a tail. NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has for the first time mapped out the structure of this tail, which is shaped like a four-leaf clover. Scientists describe the tail, called the heliotail, based on the first three years of IBEX imagery in a paper published in the July 10 edition of the Astrophysical Journal. While telescopes have spotted such tails around other stars, it has been difficult to see whether our star produced one.
The Perils Of Exiting
From Monument Securities / ZeroHedge The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has an admirable record in flagging potential threats to global financial stability. When the cadre of central bankers and finance ministers who presided over the financial meltdown of 2008-09 are taken to task for failing to anticipate trouble, their stock response is to say nobody saw it coming. Well, the BIS had given ample warning that much had gone wrong in international banking. If those with their hands on the levers of power had paid heed to these concerns, they might have saved themselves, and the rest of us, a great deal of distress.
