Orion the Hunter is perhaps the best-known constellation in the sky, well
placed in the winter for observers in both the northern and southern
hemispheres, and instantly recognizable. Just below Orion's belt, the hilt
of his sword holds a great jewel in the sky, the beautiful Orion Nebula.

The Russian space company Energia and an independent board are
investigating last week's early engine shutdown during a commercial Sea
Launch rocket flight that left an Asian communications satellite 9,000
miles short of its planned orbit.

Astronomers studying the Tau Ceti system have discovered that it contains
ten times as much material in the form of asteroids and comets as our own
solar system. Their discovery suggests that even though Tau Ceti is the
nearest Sun-like star, any planets that may orbit it would not support
life as we know it due to the inevitable large number of devastating
collisions.

NASA-funded scientists have created the first three-dimensional view of
massive solar eruptions called Coronal Mass Ejections. The result is
critical for a complete understanding of CMEs, which, when directed at
Earth, may disrupt radio communications, satellites and power systems.
New digital transfers offer the ultimate record
of the Apollo Moon landings.
