Science/Astronomy:
* In Formative Years, the Sun Had Sisters
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/061024_sun_sisters.html
The Sun had sisters when it was born, according to new research, hundreds to
thousands of them.
* Cosmic Rays Linked to Global Warming
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/061023_rays_warming.html
Earth's recent warming trend might in part be due to a lack of starlight
reaching our planet, a new study suggests. But other scientists are not so sure.
* Teachers See Educational Value in Pluto's Demotion
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/061023_ap_pluto_teach.html
Pluto may be no more than a distant, icy rock in the minds of astronomers who
stripped it of planethood, but its downgrade to a "dwarf planet'' has created a
teachable moment in classrooms nationwide.
* Image of the Day: Small Rover, Big Science
http://www.space.com/imageoftheday/image_of_day_061024.html
This synthetic image shows scale size of the Opportunity Mars rover contrasted
to Victoria Crater the robot's current zone of exploration.

http://www.livescience.com/blogs/author/tariqmalik
Russia may not have Bruce Willis or Sean Connery, but the nation's Federal
Space Agency says it could rise to the occasion should an asteroid threaten to
impact Earth.
* Decision Time Nears for Hubble-Bound Shuttle Mission
http://www.space.com/news/ap_061024_hubble_shuttle.html
The fate of what some scientists dub the people's telescope'' is again up in
the air as NASA decides soon whether to squeeze in a last astronaut repair
mission to extend the life of the Hubble Space Telescope.
* Fresh Russian Cargo Ship Bound for ISS
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/sfn_061024_exp14_prog23.html
A freighter packed with fresh supplies and critical repair parts for the
International Space Station successfully rocketed away from Earth today and

http://www.space.com/news/061023_space_radiation.html
NASA's goal of returning astronauts to the Moon by 2020 and pushing on to Mars

hazardous space radiation, according to a report released Monday.
* SPACE NEWS: With NASA Budget Cuts Looming, SETI Eyes Private Funding
http://www.space.com/spacenews/businessmonday_061023.html
With NASA expected to reduce expenditures on astrobiology by half in the year

* New Wrinkle in Search for Youthful Look
http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/061024_skin_tone.html
Creams and surgeries that promise to wipe away facial wrinkles can't begin to
fight a newly realized nemesis. Poor skin tone can add 10 to 12 years to a
woman's perceived age.
* Coins Don't Smell, You Do
http://www.livescience.com/othernews/061024_metallic_smell.html
Scientists have sniffed out the reason for the musty, "metallic" odor you smell
after handling coins or touching metal objects.
* Erotic Images Entice Even When Invisible
http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/061023_invisible_erotica.html
The use of scantily clad models in ads for everything from underwear to ice
cream attests to the persuasive power of sex, but a surprising new study finds
that our actions can be swayed by erotic images even when they don't
consciously register in our awareness.
