a good one is gravitational lensing by massive clusters -- a lens analysis of all the arcs seen in, for example, a cluster, can be used to infer the mass of the cluster, and hence see that it is inconsistent with the mass of all the luminous matter. i.e. dark matter
enclosing the guts of the satellite -- i.e. the technology -- in a shell such as this seems a pretty good idea. since the space-suit isn't brittle, it should be less susceptible to shattering by micro-meteorites and space-debris.

a neutron star is composed of a degenerate conglomeration of neutrons.
Horrible, just horrible.

you'd be surprised how many geeks were interested in phishing!
The guiness of Einstein was that he synthesized some more arcane work into some fairly simple equations
My goodness, my Guinness!
JET is an experimental torus -- ITER will aim to be closer to a commercial reactor...

i guess power supply would be a problem though?
As opposed to, say, a month-dead hippopotamus?
yeah -- think of all the decay, mass loss via scavenging, etc. that can happen in a month... especially in a hot country.
surely the amount of ink used per job doesn't change whether the speed is fast or slow:
ink_used = time*pages_per_minute
also the other day mar polar lander was photographed from orbit... ok, so again, not technically a satellite.
-This battlestation is now the ultimate power in the Universe - I suggest we use it.
-Don't be too proud of this technological terror you have created: the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

i expect if you turned off and went back to look that far in the future, you'd lose it.
