NASA SPACE AUTOPILOT TEST SUFFERS CRIPPLING FLAW
------------------------------------------------
NASA's $110 million high-risk, high-tech demonstration of a space
autopilot for future human spaceships and robotic cargo craft closed
within 300 feet of its target Friday night, then inexplicably ran out of
fuel to the dismay of helpless engineers on the ground.

SCIENTISTS THINK YOU'D BE "ROASTED" IN A BLACK HOLE
---------------------------------------------------
Contrary to established scientific thinking, you'd be roasted and not
"spaghettified" if you stumbled into a supermassive black hole. New
research presented at the Institute of Physics conference Physics 2005
took a new look at the diet of the universe's most intriguing object,
black holes.

SOYUZ DOCKS TO STATION
----------------------
A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying the international space station's 11th
long-duration crew docked with the lab complex late Saturday after a
trouble-free two-day orbital chase that began with launch Thursday from
the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

STUNNING VIEW OF SATURN'S MOON ENCELADUS
----------------------------------------
Saturn's bright moon Enceladus hovers here, in front of rings darkened by
the planet's shadow. This view is from less than one degree beneath the
ring plane. The dark shadow first takes a bite out of the rings at the
right, where the distant, outermost ring material appears to taper and
fade.

EARLY UNIVERSE WAS PACKED WITH MINI BLACK HOLES
-----------------------------------------------
A research group at Cambridge think that the universe might once have been
packed full of tiny black holes. Dr Martin Haehnelt, a researcher in the
group led by Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, presented new evidence to
support this controversial idea at the Institute of Physics conference
Physics 2005 in Warwick.
