Nasa space telescope spots odd new solar system
Nasa has announced the discovery of a strange new solar system with six planets orbiting around a sun-like star. The discovery is mystifying astronomers and illustrates just how much variety is possible in the universe. Five of the planets were found to be in a closer orbit to their star than any planet in Earth's solar system. "We really were just amazed at this gift that Nature...has given us. And with six transiting planets, five so close to their star, and getting the size and masses of these five fairly small worlds, there's only one word that I can think of that adequately describes the new finding we're announcing today - supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," Nasa scientist Jack Lissauer said at a news briefing in Washington DC, referring to the word made famous in the 1964 Disney movie, "Mary Poppins." The team at Nasa and a range of universities has named the system Kepler-11, after the orbiting Kepler space telescope that spotted it. The star resembles Earth's own sun. But five of the planets orbiting it are packed into a space equivalent to the distance between Mercury and Venus in our own solar system. Astronomers have now found more than 500 exoplanets. Most are giant, because they are so far away that only the biggest are detectable. But some researchers are certain there are Earthlike planets out there.

Private rocket blasts off into space
A rocket developed by internet entrepreneur Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies has lifted off and reached orbit. Nasa is hoping the test flight will eventually lead to cargo runs to the International Space Station after its space shuttles are retired next year. The Nasa-backed mission is also intended to test a new capsule system aimed at eventually delivering a crew to the ISS. Space Exploration Technologies' Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, carrying the company's first Dragon capsule. Two more test flights are planned, though the company may decide to combine its remaining test flights and make a docking at the space station next summer. The California-based firm, created by the co-founder of PayPal, is one of two companies holding a combined $3.5 billion in Nasa contracts to deliver cargo to the space station after the space shuttles are retired. Nasa is also contributing a combined $500 million for SpaceX and Orbital Sciences to develop and test-fly their rockets and capsules. SpaceX intends to begin station deliveries by the end of 2011, with Elon Musk saying he could be launching station crews within three years of getting the go-ahead from Nasa.
Man has camera put in head!
A New York University arts professor is living up to the saying "you've got eyes in the back of your head" after he had a small mount, designed to hold a digital camera, implanted in the back of his head. Wafaa Bilal, a visual artist widely recognised for his interactive and performance pieces, said he underwent the procedure for an art project commissioned by a new museum in Doha, Qatar. Titled "The 3rd I," the project is one of 23 contemporary works commissioned for the opening of the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art on December 30. The camera will capture everything that happens behind him at one-minute intervals 24-hours a day and then be transmitted to monitors at the museum. Bilal, who is teaching three courses this semester at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, will wear the camera for one year. He said he received only local anaesthesia for the procedure and that it was much more painful than he expected. "I didn't anticipate it (surgery) was going to be that hard. If I know it was that hard, I don't think I would have done it," he said.
