NASA released the first of its kind images of the rare Jupiter collision taken by the world largest and most inventive telescopes in the world “Hubble Telescope.” The collision occurred last Sunday by comet or meteoroid and caused a clear black spot on the southern hemisphere of the planet. The images I posted last week showed the spot, but it was taken from Earth. This one however, taken by the newly refurbished space Hubble telescope and showing crystal clear view of the impact.
“This image of the impact on Jupiter is fantastic,” said U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, D-Md., chairwoman of the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee. “It tells us that our astronauts and ground crew at the Goddard Space Flight Center successfully repaired the Hubble telescope.”

Andrew Angelloti, He is only 16 years old was able to successfully build an electric pickup truck. Even though many famous manufacturers are saying that it can’t be done, Andrew just cracked the code and done it. Anderew converted his very own 1988 Mazda pickup to run on electricity las years, using only 6,000$ that he had saved from his part time job as a life guard. Moreover, he built the truck using 20 flooded lead acid batteries to create 120 volts, which he coupled to a 60 HP 9′ electric motor.
