Maybe it wasn't quite that crazy early on. Alister Graham from the Australian National University has analyzed images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, and found that there were 1/10th the collisions that earlier studies had suggested. It was thought that it took multiple collisions for galaxies to clear away the stars at their cores - this is how astronomers built up the earlier model - but Dr. Graham calculated that it could actually happen with just one collision. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/early_universe_not_so_violent.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/early_universe_not_so_violent.html";>AOL Link</a> STATION OXYGEN GENERATOR WORKING AGAIN Sep 17, 2004 - The crew of the International Space Station have successfully repaired a malfunctioning oxygen system that broke nearly two weeks ago. Commander Gennady Padalka and Science Officer Mike Fincke replaced the Russian-built Elektron system's liquids unit with a part rebuilt from scavenged components. They also got some incredible views of Hurricane Ivan as it swept underneath the station on its way to ravage the US' Gulf Coast. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/station_oxygen_working_again.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/station_oxygen_working_again.html";>AOL Link</a> GENESIS RECOVERY IS GOING WELL Sep 17, 2004 - After its crash landing, NASA scientists weren't too hopeful that they'd turn up much science in the wreckage of Genesis' sample capsule, but the results so far have been a pleasant surprise. Even though the capsule smashed into the ground at nearly 320 km (200 miles) per hour, the samples aren't smashed up too badly, and scientists are able to extract fairly large pieces for further analysis. Genesis' purpose was to gather particles from the Sun's solar wind, which would be returned to Earth and then distributed to scientists around the world. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/genesis_recovery_going_well.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/genesis_recovery_going_well.html";>AOL Link</a> WALLPAPER: SATURN'S TRANSLUCENT RINGS Sep 17, 2004 - This is a 1024x768 desktop wallpaper of a beautiful image of Saturn's rings, taken by Cassini on July 30. This image shows a view looking through the planet's C ring, which is closest to Saturn. It also shows the Cassini division, which separates the A and B rings by a 4,800 km (2,980 mile) gap. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/wallpaper_saturn_translucent_rings.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/wallpaper_saturn_translucent_rings.html";>AOL Link</a> Additional headlines from Universe Today http://www.universetoday.com/am/exec/search.cgi?start=5&perpage=8&template=index/default.html <a href="http://www.universetoday.com/am/exec/search.cgi?start=4&perpage=8&template=index/default.html";>AOL Link</a> All contents copyright (c) 2004 Universe Today ----------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from: Universe Today - Daily Edition (Text), just follow this link: http://www.universetoday.com/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=u&l=ut%2dtext&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&p=4996766 Click this link, or copy and paste the address into your browser.
