Chapter forty eight as the age of laser drilling, holding, laser micro chipping and tattooing of asteroids can easily align some of these massive objects from earth. Space cruising points to the infancy of these piratical science. As new application emerge these should bring a more comprehensive understanding of how universe and planets were formed. Use and control the freezing point of water - via what are called quasi-amorphous Pyroelectric thin films. These surfaces change their electrical charge depending on their temperature etched as plates by laser tattooing the surface this could be done with an alignment lasers.
When pyroelectic surfaces are positively charged, water becomes easier to freeze, and when they have a negative charge, it becomes harder to freeze. As researchers saw that supercooled water could freeze as it's being heated, as long as the temperature changes the surface charge as well. For instance, when supercooled water is on a negatively charged lithium tantalat surface, it will freeze solid immediately when the surface is heated to 17.6 degrees F (minus 8 degrees C) and its charge switches to positive. Curiously, positively charged surfaces inspire supercooled water to freeze from the bottom up, while negatively charged surfaces cause it to freeze from the top down. This likely has to do with how water molecules orient themselves - the negatively charged oxygen atoms in water molecules naturally point toward positively charged surfaces, while the reverse is true with hydrogen atoms. The difference between the positive and negative charge was unexpected.
2014 mars rover send a picture back to earth as Nasa's decides on its route.
Curiosity rover has been looking back at its home planet since 2009. The amazing image reveals the Earth and the moon in the far distance. It was taken as controllers prepare to send to rover on a risky mission to climb a large sand dune. Can you spot home? This view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky Researchers used the left eye camera of Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) to capture this scene about 80 minutes after sunset on the 529th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars on Jan. 31 2014.
The unique view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky. Earth is a little left of center in the image, and our moon is just below Earth.
Researchers used the left eye camera of Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) to capture this scene about 80 minutes after sunset on the 529th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars on Jan 31st. The view of Earth from Mars: Nasa reveals portrait of home taken by its rover on the red planet. Dune is 1m high, and located in 'Dingo Gap' on the Martian surface. Team will slowly drive the rover to try and stop it getting stuck. Nasa's Spirit rover was lost in a sand trap in 2009 'A human observer with normal vision, if standing on Mars, could easily see Earth and the moon as two distinct, bright 'evening stars,' the space agency said.

However, curiosity is not the first rover to photograph home from the
red planet. That honour goes to the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour
before sunrise on the 63rd martian day, or sol, of its mission. The image
is a mosaic of images taken by the rover's navigation camera showing a broad
view of the sky, and an image taken by the rover's panoramic camera of Earth. The
contrast in the panoramic camera image was increased two times to make Earth
easier to see. This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of
a planet beyond the Moon, taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit ion 2004.
Mission controllers were today set to give its Curiosity rover its toughest assignment yet - attempting to drive over a 1m high dune. Mission controllers say the route, despite the dune, is far safer. They were concerned their planned route was filled with sharp rocks that could damage the rover's wheels. Will it make it? Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover is set to drive west and attempt to climb the 1m high dune in the foreground of this picture. Curiosity is on a southwestward traverse of many months from an area where it found evidence of ancient conditions favourable for microbial life to its long-term science destination on the lower slopes of Mount Sharp. Based on analysis of images taken from orbit by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a location dubbed 'Dingo Gap' was assessed as a possible gateway to a favourable route for the next portion of the traverse. A final decision on whether to pass through this valley will ride on evaluation of a short drive planned this week toward the top of the dune that lies across 'Dingo Gap.'

'The decision hasn't been made yet, but it is prudent to go check,' said
Jim Erickson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., project
manager for Curiosity. Recent close-up pictures reveal multiple punctures,
rips and dimples in Curiosity's metal 'tyres'.'We'll take a peek over the dune
into the valley immediately to the west to see whether the terrain looks as
good as the analysis of orbital images implies.' The dune is about 3 feet
(1 meter) high at its center, tapered off at both sides of the gap between two
low scarps. Recent close-up pictures reveal multiple punctures, rips and
dimples in Curiosity's metal 'tyres'. The track pattern — dot-dash-dash-dash,
dot-dash-dash-dot, dot-dash-dot-dot ('.--- .--. .-..') — spells out 'JPL' in
Morse code, which translates letters and numbers into a series of short
("dot') and long ('dash') signals.
Another image revealing the dune Curiosity is attempting to climb 'We have intentionally put holes in the wheels to leave a unique track on Mars,' Nasa said. 'So if we are in sand dunes where we don't have lots of rock features around us, we can use those patterns to do our visual odometer. 'The agency is taking no chances after Nasa's Spirit rover was lost in a sand trap in 2009. A colour view assembled from images taken by Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) on the east side of the dune shows details of the valley that the rover may traverse this month. This mosaic of images from the Navigation Camera (Navcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows the terrain to the west from the rover's position on the 528th Martian day, or sol, of the mission (Jan. 30, 2014).NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to assess ancient habitable environments and major changes in Martian environmental conditions. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
