    >The Lure of Europa

    >
    >Jupiter's moon Europa is thought to be one of the most likely abodes for
    >microscopic life in our solar system. The discovery that Europa most likely
    >has a cold, salty ocean beneath its frozen icy crust has put Europa on the
    >short list of objects in our solar system that astrobiologists would like
    >to study further.

    >Scientists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and
    >the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have ended a nine-year
    >debate over whether the Earth's inner core is undergoing changes that can
    >be detected on a human timescale. Their work, which appears in the August
    >26 issue of the journal Science, measured differences in the time it took
    >seismic waves generated by nearly identical earthquakes up to 35 years
    >apart to travel through the Earth's inner core.

    >Scientists from the Australian Antarctic Division, the University of
    >Western Ontario, the Aerospace Corporation, and Sandia and Los Alamos
    >national laboratories found evidence that dust from an asteroid burning up
    >as it descended through Earth's atmosphere formed a cloud of micron-sized
    >particles significant enough to influence local weather in Antarctica.

    >M Dwarfs: The Search for Life is On
    >http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1694.html
    >
    >M-dwarf stars, much smaller, dimmer and cooler than stars like our sun, are
    >by far the most common type of star in our galaxy. Yet scientists searching
    >for life on other worlds have not shown much interest in M dwarfs. That's
    >about to change.
