>The Lure of Europa
>http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1697.html
>
>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.

>Earth's Super Rotating Core
>http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1696.html
>
>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.

>Asteroid Skywriters
>http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1695.html
>
>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.
