Subject: Space Science news from NASA HQ...
Welcome back my friends to the cosmos that never ends, I'm so glad you
could attend, step outside, step outside...

Reddish spots on the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa may indicate
pockets of warmer ice rising from below. Galileo sees churning slush at

More Galileo news: before starting its 35th and final orbit around Jupiter
next week, our Galileo spacecraft will visit three intriguing features of
the giant planet's neighborhood for the first time: a small moon named
Amalthea, a dusty ring and the inner region of Jupiter's high-energy
magnetic
environment. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2002/release_2002_199.cfm

Why aren't there more new stars? It seems like there's enough gas and dust
around that more new stars should be seen. Researchers have discovered
that a well-known, but overlooked source of heating may play a significant
role in keeping the Milky Way's gas continually stirred up, limiting the
formation of new
stars. http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/Kritsuk_Norman1.htm
------------------
Researchers have found that a portion of anomalous cosmic rays -- charged
particles accelerated to enormous energies by the solar wind -- results
from interactions with dust grains from a belt of comet-sized objects near
Pluto's orbit. This could clear up a long-standing
mystery. http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0235.html

A new moon of the planet Uranus has been discovered, bringing the total of
known moons to 21. That's a lot of moons of
Uranus. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2002/release_2002_197.cfm

Students, engineers and their robotic creations take center stage during
NASA sponsored regional robotics competitions and a final national
championship "Bot Bowl" in April 2003. Better than Junkyard
Wars? http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2002/release_2002_198.cfm

Cheers!
