Ticking News

Fans’ breathless anticipation of the arrival of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s firstborn is rising to a fever pitch on the web, with buzz building that the music powerhouse couple are the new parents of a baby girl. [1]

It hasn’t yet been CONFIRMED that it’s Beyonce (and hospitals CAN’T legally comment on their patients). [2]

But the most recent baby chatter is no match for what the past five months have been like in terms of Beyonce’s pregnancy. [3]

But after the Internet blew up earlier this week with rumors that the pregnant singer was sporting what some were calling a “fake” baby bump during a recent TV appearance, enough was enough. [4]

The rumors started two days ago when a few entertainment sites claimed Beyonce checked into St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. [3]

That way we can get this baby on out of the way before the new year & beyonce can sit down and let her birth canal rest for the next 6 weeks (fingers crossed). [2]

Rumors began flying earlier this week that the pop star had checked in to St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City, and overnight, word spread that she had delivered a daughter. [6]

As a baby-adoring, pop culture enthusiast, I am sure of two things: Everyone loves a pregnant lady, and Beyonce is the most beautiful woman in the world. [7]

Chatter is growing on Twitter that Beyonce has given birth to a girl the duo named Tiana-May Carter, giving her the true moniker of Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter. [1]

Part of the agency’s Discovery Program, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (Grail) mission consists of two satellites that will spend almost four months on a journey to the Earth’s companion. [1]

The instruments onboard the Grail probes are so precise they will be able to calculate the distance between them to within less than the width of a human red blood cell, Asmar said. [3]

Less than two hours after their launch, the twin Grail-A and Grail-B probes were deployed, setting them en route to their lunar destination. [5]

The $496 million Grail mission (short for Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory) will closely study the interior of the moon, from crust to core, and will map the moon’s gravitational field in unprecedented detail. [4]

As they orbit the moon, the Grail spacecraft will transmit radio signals that will allow precise measurement of the distance between them. [1]
