“Shoot now and negotiate later” is the new directive for police when confronting terrorists in a closed place, such as a bus or building, Haaretz reported Thursday.

DARPA developing vehicles that can literally disappear
One of the big challenges when fighting a battle is all the equipment left behind that could end up in the hands of an enemy.

Here's the Russian jet that's terrorizing Syria's anti-Assad rebels
As the Syrian military begins its push to take back opposition-held areas in northwestern Syria, Russia has provided backing through an intensifying aerial campaign. Among the planes Moscow has used to back the Syrian military's attempted advance is a Russian combat aircraft that some have compared to the US's venerated A-10 Warthog.

NASA's Enceladus flyby: Cassini to dive through icy spray of Saturn's moon
This week's cruise past the northern pole of the Saturnian moon from a distance of 1,142 miles will give scientists a chance to see if icy plumes like those seen earlier at the south pole are active on the "top" of the satellite during its current northern summer. But the real excitement comes later this month when Cassini will circle back and pass within just 30 miles of the south polar region, actually flying through the spray of the plume.

Is Russia’s Involvement in Syria the Beginning of Gog and Magog?

What do you do when the people trying to kill you live around the block?
Or when they live in the same village as that lovely man your son’s been working with? Or when they work for the phone company? When they try to kill anybody — uniformed soldiers and police, ultra-Orthodox Jews, all the passengers on a city bus? When their leaders tell them they will go to paradise if they die in the act of killing us?

Stunning Jupiter Video Reveals Mysterious New Red Spot Feature
The new images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope also show that the Great Red Spot is changing into more of an orange color, and that it continues to shrink, although at a slightly slower pace than expected. The spot is currently about 150 miles shorter than it was last year, making it just about 10,000 miles across. At its peak in the late 1800s, the Great Red Spot was estimated to be about 25,500 miles long, or more than triple the 7,900-mile diameter of the Earth
