Days later, Fidler called her into court and questioned her further, making sure she knew what her plea entailed. After deeper reflection, I realize I cannot plead guilty when I am not, Olson sa

She said she acknowledged that the Sept. 11 attacks on the country have created fear in the public and the jury pool. I understand that a jury trial is a profound risk, she said. I have always been willing, until recently, to put my fate in the hands of 12 peers because I am innocent and because I am represented by two brilliant attorneys. On Nov. 6 Fidler called Olson and her attorneys back to court, lectured her about the meaning of enteri

A team of astrobiologists has described a new method of detecting not just water, but life, on distant worlds. There just one problem 鈥?the telescope we need to do it won ;t be on line until 2018. Heavy atmospheres like Earth keep water from drifting off planet and into space, so astronomers like to look for them when searching for potentially habitable planets
stanley mug beyond our solar system. Now, researchers have found a new method for detecting heavy atmospheres around terrestrial planets that could host not just water, but life. One of the best places to search for alien life is the last that you ;d expect The method is described by University of Washington astronomer Amit Misra and his colleaguesin the latest issue of Astrobiology. The technique depends on the detection of dimers, or molecules that have coupled together, in an exoplanet atmosphere. In chemistry, a dimer is a general term that refers to any compound assembled from two identical smaller units. Misra and his team are primarily concerned with the presence of oxygen dimers. Since oxygen gas usually takes the form of O2, an oxygen dimer actually comprises four oxygen atoms, and is written as O2-O2. Science Angus Chen gives a good summary of the technique: When a planet passes in front of its star, starlight shines through the planet atm
