snapshot of the adolescent Universe from about five billion years ago
when the familiar web-like structure of galaxy chains and voids first
emerged.

A GAMMA-RAY BURST BONANZA
-------------------------
ESA's Integral satellite is detecting gamma-ray bursts at a rate of
nearly one per day, establishing itself as a key player in the hunt
for these enigmatic explosions. Launched in October 2002, Integral
has just captured four bursts in the last four months right in the
middle of its field of view.

WIDE ANNUAL FLUCTUATIONS FOUND IN ARCTIC OZONE LOSS
---------------------------------------------------
Ozone depletion over Earth's Arctic region varies widely from year to
year in its amount, timing and pattern of loss. That's the conclusion
of a research team using data from the Microwave Limb Sounder on
NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite.
