The invention of so-called ropeless fishing gear is a bid to reduce the number of ropes dangling in the ocean. Typically, ropes stretch from floating buoys to pots and traps far below, presenting a hazard to vulnerable species that might get entangled in the lines. One pilot project is bringing in fishers to test the finicky technology. Read on »

Tumbling NASA probe snaps 1st selfie of giant solar sail (NASA) NASA has released the first image of the open solar sail, formally called the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System, and stated that the spacecraft from which the sail was released will continue to send back more footage and data as time goes on. The image itself may seem a little confusing to make heads or tails of, and that's due in part to the fact that the spacecraft has been slowly tumbling in space. Full Story: Space(9/5)

Skywatching NASA's new solar sail is visible in the night sky (NASA/Aero Animation/Ben Schweighart) An experimental NASA solar sail can be seen in the night sky as it orbits the Earth. As the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System orbits Earth, it's large surface area means it reflects enough sunlight to be seen from the ground. Under some conditions, the solar sail demonstrator could even appear as bright as Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. If you want to see it for yourself, you're in luck: NASA has an app for that.

In addition to being a slightly larger-than-average "supermoon," September's full moon will also experience a partial lunar eclipse when it rises on the evening of Sept. 17.
