>CONCENTRATED DARK MATTER AT CORES OF FOSSIL GALAXIES
>----------------------------------------------------
>Researchers at the University of Birmingham have used the new generation
>of X-ray space observatories to study "fossil galaxies" - ancient galaxy
>groups in which all of the large galaxies have gradually merged to form

>-------------------------------------------------------
>Ongoing research by an international team of astronomers is providing new
>insights into cataclysmic cosmic collisions between galaxy clusters. Using
>the world's most powerful X-ray space observatory, the team is unraveling
>the complex interactions that take place in the "traffic pile-ups" that
>occur as clusters containing hundreds of galaxies and trillions of solar
>masses of gas and dark matter interact and merge.

>NEW SOLAR FLARE EVIDENCE MAY SOLVE MYSTERY
>------------------------------------------
>An international group of scientists has discovered important new evidence
>that points to the cataclysmic events that trigger a solar flare and the
>mechanisms that drive its subsequent evolution. The new results were
>obtained by using the SOHO spacecraft to study one of the most powerful
>solar flares of recent years.

>SPACE EXPLOSIONS MAY HAVE TRIGGERED EARTH EXTINCTION
>----------------------------------------------------
>Scientists at NASA and the University of Kansas say that a mass extinction
>on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago could have been triggered by a
>star explosion called a gamma-ray burst. The scientists do not have direct
>evidence that such a burst activated the ancient extinction. The strength
>of their work is their atmospheric modeling -- essentially a "what if"
>scenario.
