THE DAY IN SPACE
________________
In today's space news from SpaceRef:
-- NASA Space Station On-Orbit Status 7 Jan 2004
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=11472
"Update on cabin pressure drop (ref. yesterday's Status report): Total cabin pressure and nitrogen partial pressure
(ppN2) have stabilized over the past 24 hours, i.e., the rate of decrease has become nearly undetectable."
-- Lifeless Suns Dominated The Early Universe
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13354
"To most people, the phrase "Sun-like star" calls to mind images of a friendly, warm yellow star accompanied by a
retinue of planets possibly capable of nurturing life. But new calculations which were announced today at the
203rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Atlanta, show that the first Sun-like stars were lonely orbs
moving through a universe devoid of planets or life."
-- Storms Of Hot And Cold Gas Rage In Betelgeuse's Turbulent Atmosphere
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13348
"A team of astronomers announced today at the 203rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Atlanta
that Hubble Space Telescope observations of a nearby supergiant star directly show hot gas escaping its boiling
atmosphere at a larger distance than from any other star. The expelled hot gas somehow survives the cold and
harsh conditions in the star's bloated upper atmosphere."
-- Endurance of Plants Under Quartz Rocks Possible Model for Life on Early Earth
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13336
"Microscopic Mojave Desert plants growing on the underside of translucent quartz pebbles can endure both chilly
and near-boiling temperatures, scavenge nitrogen from the air, and utilize the equivalent of nighttime moonlight
levels for photosynthesis, a new study reports. The plants, which receive enough light through the pebbles to
support photosynthesis, could offer a model for how plants first colonized land, as well as how they might have
evolved on Mars, said the scientists who performed the study."

vast flatland of the Gusev Crater where Spirit landed this weekend will be called the Columbia Memorial Station."
