From there, we will move farther out into the solor system to look and some hot spots on Saturn, then back Earth for some earthquake news and a bit more on global warming.. We will wrap up the week, with a thin polymer bio-film that seals surgical wounds and could make ugly surgical scars a relic of medical history. Dive in and join us on THE DEEP! MORE>>
