18. New Uranus like planet discovered
  • ·
    Astronomers have discovered a new planet that resembles our own Uranus
    in a binary star system 25,000 light-years away.
  • ·
    This is the first time anyone has spotted a twin for our so-called “ice
    giant” planets, Uranus and Neptune.
  • ·
    While Uranus and Neptune are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium,
    they both contain significant amounts of methane ice, which gives them their bluish
    appearance.
  • ·
    Given that the newly discovered planet is so far away, astronomers can’t
    actually tell anything about its composition.
  • ·
    But its distance from its star suggests that it’s an ice giant — and
    since the planet’s orbit resembles that of Uranus, the astronomers are considering
    it to be a Uranus analog.
  • ·
    The newly discovered planet leads a turbulent existence: it orbits one
    star in a binary star system, with the other star close enough to disturb the
    planet’s orbit.
  • ·
    The find may help solve a mystery about the origins of the ice giants in
    our solar system, said Andrew Gould, professor of astronomy at Ohio State
    University.

20. EU sanctions against LTTE struck down
  • ·
    European Union (EU) judges struck down anti-terrorism sanctions against
    the Tamil Tigers that were imposed by the EU but said on Thursday that the
    assets of the Sri Lankan group should remain frozen for the time being.
  • ·
    The court said a decision by EU leaders in 2006 to place the Liberation
    Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on a list of terrorist organisations had been
    based on “imputations derived from the press and the Internet” rather than on
    direct investigation of the group’s actions, as required by law.
  • ·
    It said in a statement that the EU had also failed, when following
    Indian sanctions against the Tigers, to ensure that India gave sufficient
    judicial protection to those it accused.
  • ·
    However, the court rejected the LTTE’s contention that it was exempt
    from EU anti-terrorism legislation because it was engaged in an “armed
    conflict” with the Sri Lankan government and bound by the laws of war.
  • ·
    The court, which stressed it was taking no view on whether the LTTE was
    a terrorist organisation, said EU laws on terrorism also applied to armed
    conflicts.
  • ·
    Saying that sanctions might be applied in future against the Tigers, who
    were defeated militarily in 2009, the court said assets that were frozen should
    remain so “temporarily”.
