As per earlier beliefs, fish can remember things only up to three seconds. However, a new research has suggested that this could be false. The research has found that fish can remember things up to five months.

In order to reach this conclusion, a month was spent by researchers at the Israeli Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa in schooling young fish to associate a certain sound with feeding time.

Following this, the fish was released by them into the wild and when the fish became adults after five months, the sounds were repeated.   

A respectable position among the international space research organizations has already been made by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) by launching Chandrayaan on 22nd October, 2008. For now, it is time for Indian Space Professionals to have a strong presence in the international satellite-building and launch service.

ISRO is all determined to make a prominent place among the other organizations, as it is planning to unveil four foreign satellites this year.

Washington, January 8 : An US dietician says that has branded Americans food habits an "SUV eating style", which contributes to global warming more than the cars they drive, in her book.

Kate Geagan, registered dietitian in Park City, Utah, refers to a University of Iowa study that has found that food on average travels about 1,500 miles to reach people's tables.

Washington, Jan 8 : A research team from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the US has announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected.

The finding comes from a balloon-borne instrument named ARCADE, which stands for the Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission.

In July 2006, the instrument launched from NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, and flew to an altitude of 120,000 feet, where the atmosphere thins into the vacuum of space.

ARCADE's mission was to search the sky for heat from the first generation of stars. Instead, it found a cosmic puzzle.

Washington, Jan 8: A team of scientists has found the first ever evidence of asteroids with an Earth-like crust.

A research team, primarily composed of geochemists from the University of Maryland, US, estimated that two rare meteorites found in Antarctica two years ago are from a previously unknown, ancient asteroid with an outer layer or crust similar in composition to the crust of Earth's continents.

This is the first ever finding of material from an asteroid with a crust like Earth's. The discovery also represents the oldest example of rock with this composition ever found.

These meteorites point "to previously unrecognized diversity" of materials formed early in the history of the Solar System, according to researchers.

Washington, Jan 8: Space is not as far from the Earth's surface as people think, for scientist have discovered that the ionosphere, the layer of electrically charged particles that comprises the outer atmosphere, is thinner than expected, and cooler too.

Knowledge of the shape and size of the ionosphere may help in determining how particularly dense regions within it may distort radio, radar and navigation signals, which can make communications and satellite-based systems less reliable.
