DISKS AROUND FAILED STARS: A QUESTION OF AGE
--------------------------------------------
A team of European astronomers have observed eight brown dwarfs --
small and faint objects also known as "failed stars". From two of
these, mid-infrared radiation is detected for the first time ever
from such objects with a ground-based telescope. While the younger
brown dwarf, aged a few million years, is found to be surrounded by a
dusty disk, no warm dust is present around the older ones.

SATELLITES SHOW BULGE IN EARTH'S GRAVITY FIELD GROWING
------------------------------------------------------
Satellite data since 1998 indicates the bulge in the Earth's gravity
field at the equator is growing, and scientists think that the ocean
may hold the answer to the mystery of how the changes in the trend of
Earth's gravity are occurring.
