To Catch A Pail Of Comet Dust Sounds A Wild Idea
Pasadena - Dec 28, 2003NASA's Stardust mission is set to reach its primary target January 2 when the low-cost Discovery-class deep space explorer passes within 150 kilometers (93 miles) of Comet Wild-2. As its passes close to the comet Stardust will sample pristine cometary dust particles for collection and return to Earth in January 2006. German Dust Analyzer Closes In On Comet Wild-2 For Friday Flyby 
Schwetzingen - Dec 30, 2003After a journey of nearly 5 years through the solar system, Statdust will flyby Wild 2 on Friday. As one of only two fully scientific instruments, Stardust carries the German dust analyzer CIDA. |
An Odyssey of Mars Science: Part 2 
Sacramento - Dec 30, 2003The discovery by Mars Odyssey which has most captured the public's imagination by far is the finding by its "GRS" experiment -- which includes both gamma-ray and neutron spectrometers -- that Mars does indeed have a massive reservoir of water ice near its surface in the polar regions writes Bruce Moomaw. |

Pittsburgh - Dec 30, 2003As NASA's twin robot geologists Spirit and Opportunity prepare to land on Mars in January, a cadre of 20 smart rovers will be deployed at some of the nation's most prestigious science museums to let visitors experience the thrill of exploring the red planet. |
Three Dusty Beauties Come To Light In ESO Xmas Release
Munich - Dec 22, 2003Not so long ago, the real nature of the "spiral nebulae", spiral-shaped objects observed in the sky through telescopes, was still unknown. This long-standing issue was finally settled in 1924 when the American astronomer Edwin Hubble provided conclusive evidence that they are located outside our own galaxy and are in fact "island universes" of their own. Visual "Mirages" Probe Distribution Of Dark Matter 
Princeton - Dec 22, 2003Sloan Digital Sky Survey scientists have discovered a gravitationally lensed quasar with the largest separation ever recorded, and, contrary to expectations, found that four of the most distant, most luminous quasars known are not gravitationally lensed. |
Earth's Inconstant Magnetic Field
Huntsville - Dec 30, 2003Every few years, scientist Larry Newitt of the Geological Survey of Canada goes hunting. He grabs his gloves, parka, a fancy compass, hops on a plane and flies out over the Canadian arctic. Not much stirs among the scattered islands and sea ice, but Newitt's prey is there--always moving, shifting, elusive. Wind Tunnel Tests Could Lead To Healthier Towns And Cities 
Swindon - Dec 18, 2003It's hardly an appealing thought but the overpowering fragrance of mothballs in a large wind tunnel could provide the key to improving air quality in our towns and cities. The tests will improve our understanding of how pollution and heat behave at street level so that more effective ventilation methods can be developed. |
