  9. Recent Events in Science Daredevil Skydiver May Attempt Supersonic Jump Sunday After Delays Read All About It! http://www.space.com/18000-supersonic-skydive-felix-baumgartner-sunday.html An Austrian daredevil will have to wait until Sunday for his next chance to beat the world record for highest-ever skydive, and break the sound barrier to boot. Strong winds thwarted Felix Baumgartner's two previous attempts to leap from a balloon nearly 23 miles above Earth's surface. Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet and then step out into the void. He would thus shatter the skydiving altitude record of 102,800 feet which was set in 1960 by former Air Force Capt. Joe Kittinger.

  10. Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both are of different chemical composition than the larger gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn.

  11. Uranus Uranus rotates on its side – it has an axial tilt of 98˚. It has a ring system, but much less extensive than Saturn’s.

  12. Uranus’ Large Moons Have Varied Terrains Uranus

  13. Neptune In contrast to the relatively featureless atmosphere of Uranus, Neptune's atmosphere is notable for its active and visible weather patterns. For example, at the time of the 1989Voyager 2 flyby, the planet's southern hemisphere possessed a Great Dark Spot. These weather patterns are driven by the strongest sustained winds of any planet in the Solar System, with recorded wind speeds as high as 1,300 mph.

  14. Neptune Because of its great distance from the Sun, Neptune's outer atmosphere is one of the coldest places in the Solar System, with temperatures at its cloud tops approaching −218 °C. Neptune has a faint and fragmented ring system (labeled 'arcs'), which may have been detected during the 1960s but was only indisputably confirmed in 1989 by Voyager 2.

  15. Neptune Neptune has 13 known moons. Triton is Neptune’s largest moon. Triton orbits in the opposite direction from the way all the planets travel. It’s atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with a little methane. Triton exhibits volcanic-like activity It’s composed largely of water ice, covered with layers of solid nitrogen and methane.
