Changing Views of Pluto: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

Pluto’s classification as a “dwarf planet” came as a shock to some, but in reality our understanding of Pluto has always been in flux. Pluto is a tiny, distant, icy object, difficult to see even with Hubble’s vision. Join a Hubble astrophysicist as we explore our history with Pluto, from its discovery to the excitement over the upcoming visit by the New Horizons space probe, in Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered.

“Hubble’s Universe” is a recurring broadcast from HubbleSite, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. Astrophysicist Frank Summers takes viewers on an in-depth tour of the latest Hubble discoveries. Find more episodes at HubbleSite.org.

Tonight’s Sky: December 2010 Highlighs

Posted by

Backyard stargazers get a monthly guide to the northern hemisphere’s skywatching events with “Tonight’s Sky.” In December, a lunar eclipse turns the Moon a festive holiday red. Perseus wanders the night. And binoculars reveal the Double Cluster, a lovely pair of star clusters. “Tonight’s Sky” is produced by HubbleSite, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes — and other astronomy videos — at HubbleSite.org.

In this video I discuss my ideas about how Apple could expand the iPod touch into the gaming market. The iPhone and iPod touch are turning into considerable gaming machines however they are held back by the lack of physical buttons which is where an iPod play could be created to compete against the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PSP2.
