A US rocket is to crash into the moon on Friday in an experiment scientists hope will provide data about ice hidden in the perpetually dark lunar craters. Astronomers around the world are prepared to capture the impact of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) into the moon's Caebus crater at 1130 GMT. The rocket will deliberately crash into the moon, kicking up a plume of dust that scientists hope to analyse for traces of water that they believe are abundant in the cold, shadowy craters. The impact is designed to mimic that of the large, natural asteroids that slam into the moon several times a month. The probe belonging to the US space agency NASA is targeting a 100-km wide, 4-kilometre deep crater and is timed to strike when lighting conditions are ideal for observing the impact. The 585-km craft will hit the moon at about 9,000 kilometres per hour creating at impact crater about 2 metres deep. Despite the concerns of some naysayers in the blogospher...

London, Oct 9 (IANS) US President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for 'his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples', it was announced in Oslo Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. 'Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play,' the committee said on its website. 'Only very rarely has a person, to the same extent as Obama, captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population,' the committee said.

New Delhi, Oct. 6 -- Soon, you will be able to pick up a bottle of your favourite liquor from your neighbourhood mall. But if you were planning to drink in your car - give up the thought. Doing so will leave you poorer by Rs 5,000. At present, drinking in public attracts a fine of Rs 200. Most penalties levied on drunken behaviour are based on the Punjab Excise Act, 1914, that is effect in Delhi at present. The Delhi Excise Bill aims to make fines and penalties deterrent enough. The Bill will be placed in the Delhi assembly in its winter session. And if you are one of those who get a little unmanageable after a drink, be careful. You could get both a prison term up to three months and a Rs 10,000 fine for creating public nuisance. For any owner of a liquor joint - whether a bar, theka (roadside liquor vend) or night club - who allows drunken behaviour or allows anti-social elements to gather at his establishment - the penalty is even more stringent. The owner would attract a pris...

Shane Watson struck another commanding century to lead holders Australia to a six-wicket win over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final on Monday. Australia restricted New Zealand to 200 for nine before reaching 206 for four in 45.2 overs. It was not all plain sailing for Australia, however, as New Zealand fast bowlers Kyle Mills and Shane Bond claimed a wicket each in the first three overs to leave the defending champions reeling on six for two. With captain and leading run-scorer Ricky Ponting trapped lbw by the impressive Mills, who finished with three for 27, for just a single, Australia struggled to 37 for two after 16 overs. But they wriggled off the hook as Watson, who scored 136 not out in the semi-final win over England, showed great composure before hitting successive sixes off spinner Jeetan Patel to end the match and finish on 105 not out. New Zealand had a great chance to seize control in the 18th over when Cameron White, on 15, skied a pull off Ian Butler but ...
