Planetary Resources, a pioneer in asteroid mining, announced today that it is planning to launch the world's first publicly accessible space telescope.
The company, led by X Prize Foundation Chairman Peter Diamandis, said in April, 2012, that it planned to prospect and mine asteroids. But today the company expanded on that mission, saying that it is engaging "in another passion of our team: to make space exploration accessible to everyone."

Woolly mammoths could be brought back to life - scientists discover tissue 10,000 years old

Daily Mail Online
Scientists in Siberia have found the first ever well-preserved sample of blood from a woolly mammoth, which could be used to recreate the extinct species.
The 10,000-year-old blood was sealed inside ice beneath the carcass of a female mammoth.
Preserved muscle tissue was also found from the creature, aged between 50 and 60 when she died, according to the Russian team who made the discovery on islands off the northern coast of Siberia.
According to The Siberian Times, the blood will now be made available to South Korean scientists seeking to use mammoth DNA to bring creatures back to life.
The find - said to be the first time mammoth blood has been discovered - comes amid a hotly contested debate over the morality of Jurassic Park-style projects to restore extinct creatures to the planet, with some scientists insisting it will be impossible to get exactly the same mammoths as once roamed Siberia.

Semyon Grigoriev, head of the Museum of Mammoths of the Institute of Applied Ecology of the North at the North Eastern Federal University told The Siberian Times: 'We were really surprised to find mammoth blood and muscle tissue.'
He hailed it as 'the best preserved mammoth in the history of paleontology'.
'It is the first time we managed to obtain mammoth blood. No-one has ever seen before how the mammoth's blood flows.'
The mammoth was found in an ice tomb in the New Siberian Islands, or Novosibirsk Islands, and parts of the carcass are especially well preserved because they remained entirely frozen for 10,000 years.
'The approximate age of this animal is about 10,000 years old,' said Dr Grigoriev.

Martian UFO over NASA's Curiosity rover? (VIDEO)
The Mars Curiosity rover has caught a video of a UFO, but according to the poster of this video, NASA is sticking to its claim that the image is simply a defect with the rovers digital camera. This explanation is pretty weak when you watch the video. The object moves into view and then stops and seems to study the rover before going away. So is this a meteor entering the Martian atmosphere? Alien life? Or an alien craft sent to check out our martian activities? If this is a digital effects hoax, and it could be, it's pretty convincing. More research needs to be done.

Scotland Mystery creature washed up on beach
A strange find on the coast of Angus Scotland, an unidentified sea creature. Earlier this year thousands of cuttlefish and hundreds of puffins were found dead and decomposing along the coast of Angus beach. Currently, no one is certain of what this creature might be. If it's the Loch Ness monster, then it's a little far from it's Scottish inland home.

The object that hovered over Fresno California on May 15th of 2013 for nearly 4 hours, and was witnessed by scores of people, is not a weather balloon. That's according to KMPH Chief Meteorologist Kevan Ramer. The winds traveling at the time were around 15 miles an hour and up to 30 mils and hour at an altitude of a thousand feet. The local Fox 26 news team reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Fresno Air Terminal and the Army National Guard, but none of them could not give an explanation for the object.
