    NASA Science News for January 8, 2004

    NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered rich deposits of magnesium
    and silicon in a pair of colliding galaxies known as The Antennae. The
    deposits are located in vast clouds of hot gas, and when the clouds cool,
    say scientists, a great number of stars and planets should form. These
    results may foreshadow the fate of our own Milky Way and its future
    collision with the Andromeda Galaxy.
