New celestial map gives directions for GPS
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) Many of us have been rescued from unfamiliar territory by directions from a Global Positioning System navigator. GPS satellites send signals to a receiver in your GPS navigator, which calculates your position based on the location of the satellites and your distance from them. The distance is determined by how long it took the signals from various satellites to reach your receiver.

Exploring the final frontier: Disease proposed as major barrier to Mars and beyond
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) A new report appearing in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology argues that human missions to Mars, as well as all other long-term space flights might be compromised by microbial hitchhikers, such as bacteria. That's because long-term space travel packs a one-two punch to astronauts: first it appears to weaken their immune systems; and second, it increases the virulence and growth of microbes.

Typhoon Mirinae is already scaring Philippine residents before Halloween
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) Another typhoon in the northern Philippines really is something to be scared about, and Mirinae is expected to make landfall there in the mid-morning hours on Halloween, Oct. 31. Mirinae will be the fourth major storm to hit the Philippines in one month bringing more rain to an already flood-weary region.
