SATURN-BOUND CASSINI PROBE SEES ITS DESTINATION
-----------------------------------------------
Saturn appears serene and majestic in the first color composite made
of images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on its approach to the
ringed planet, with arrival still 20 months away. The planet was 177
million miles away from the spacecraft, nearly twice the distance
between the Sun and Earth, when Cassini took the images.

known to science, the team is analyzing bursts of gamma rays released
from massive black holes at the center of so-called active galaxies.

MAGNETISM SHAPES BEAUTY IN THE HEAVENS
--------------------------------------
Observations by a international team of astronomers suggest a
solution to the long outstanding problem as to how, at the end of
their lives, a perfectly spherical star can give rise to the complex
and often far from spherical structure seen in the resulting
planetary nebula - some of the most beautiful objects in our heavens.

KUIPER BELT IMPLICATED IN COSMIC RAYS MYSTERY
---------------------------------------------
A team led by Southwest Research Institute has 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.
