![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | A House-Boat on the Styx - John Kendrick Bangs LibriVox recording of A House-Boat on the Styx by John Kendrick Bangs. The premise of the book is that everyone who has ever died (up until the time in which the book is set, which seems to be about the time of its publication) has gone to Styx. This does not appear to be the conventional Hell described by Dante in The Inferno, but rather the Hades described in Greek myth (both of which had Styxes): a universal collecting pot for dead souls, regardless of their deeds in life...

Levay (STScI [ http://www.stsci.edu/ ]) *Description*: The new HST/ACS observations made on March 2nd reveal that all three of Pluto's satellites are neutrally colored, unlike reddish Pluto itself. Pluto's reddish color is believed to be due to reddening agents created by the effects of sunlight acting on its nitrogen and methane surface ices.
