Greetings again from the NASA Cubicle Farm in Washington DC!
Just a few recent news items:
------------------
How do galaxies evolve? Our Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), launched in
April, has beamed back revealing images of hundreds of galaxies to
expectant astronomers, providing the first batch of data on star formation
that they had hoped for. The Nobel Prizes come
later. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2003/104.cfm
------------------
new maps of Mars water - Mars Odyssey results at

X-Ray Binaries In Globular Clusters: Close Encounters Of The Stellar
Kind. With so many stars jammed in relatively small spaces, there's going
to be some fireworks. http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2003/ngc6266/index.html
------------------
An ion engine has run for a record 30,352 hours, providing information
vital to future missions that will use ion propulsion, as well as to
current research efforts to develop improved ion thrusters. Whoosh! The
engine is a copy of the one that powered our successful Deep Space 1
spacecraft. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2003/105.cfm

Cheers!
