Goodnight Moon: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Occultation occurs when one celestial body — for instance, a moon or a planet — aligns with another. Striking images of occultation give us an unusual glimpse of the traffic in our cosmic backyard.

Hubble Servicing Delayed: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

In September 2008, Hubble was two weeks away from a servicing mission when an electrical problem shut down much of the telescope. Intense work and effort has resulted in a replacement part to fix the problem. The servicing mission took place in 2009 and was entirely successful, and Hubble is expected to continue for many more years.

D3Live: Best Tablet? iPad 2, XOOM, PlayBook or TouchPad

In this episode of D3Live I take a look at what is the best tablet for you.

With so many tablets being released today on D3Live I take a look at several of the prominent tablet PCs including the Apple iPad 2, Motorola XOOM, RIM BlackBerry PlayBook and the HP Palm TouchPad. The iPad 2 runs iOS and has the clear advantage when it comes to apps, however the XOOM has access to the wide variety of Android applications and has support for Flash and Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The BlackBerry PlayBook is coming soon and should be a serious contender with a smaller 7″ display, the unique RIM QNX operating system and some very slick features such as a touch sensitive bezel. Lastly we have an entry by HP and Palm, the TouchPad powered by webOS. This could very well sweep the market when it comes out with a powerful processor and an excellent OS.

D3Live is a weekly show I do live every Saturday at 3PM Eastern time live on BlogTV. If you are interested in asking me questions for the video or just watching the show live keep an eye out as I will post a video here on YouTube before I begin. http://www.blogtv.com/people/duncan33303
