Trappist planets have water, may be 'habitable': Researchers
PARIS - Seven planets recently spotted orbiting a dim star in our Milky Way galaxy are rocky, seem to have water, and are potentially "habitable", researchers studying the distant system said Tuesday.Though much remains unknown about the planets' surfaces and atmospheres, the new measurements have not ruled out the possibility that they may harbor even rudimentary life, the scientists reported."So far, no sign allows us to say that they are not habitable," said University of Birmingham astronomer Amaury Triaud, the co-author of a study on the subject."All the traffic lights we have passed so far are green."Research teams gleaned more information about the dwarf star at the center of the Trappist-1 system, as well as improved measurements of the size and...

Ice instruments ring out coolest music in Norway
FINSE, Norway - Inside a giant igloo in a snowy Norwegian village, the sound of a horn rings out, warming the mood of a freezing audience, huddled together in -24 Celsius.But the four musicians performing are even colder: The instruments they are playing are all made of ice.The xylophone, claves and wind instruments have been painstakingly carved from ice blocks extracted from a frozen lake, and are now part of a finger-numbing performance at the 13th Ice Music Festival in the mountain village of Finse.The problem is, the longer the musicians play, the more the instruments start to disintegrate.It is not an easy task "to perform on instruments that are melting while you play them," says percussionist Terje Isungset, also the founder of the festival.Wearing thick wool gloves, he...
