STELLAR WINDS' X-RAYS MAY PLAY ROLE IN GALACTIC EVOLUTION
---------------------------------------------------------
Colorful star-forming regions that have captivated stargazers since
the advent of the telescope 400 years ago contain gas thousands of
times more energetic than previously recognized, powered by colliding
stellar winds. This gas radiated as X-rays is one of the long-sought
sources of energy and elements in the Milky Way galaxy's interstellar
medium.

SISTER STAR WORLD 2.5 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY
----------------------------------------------
Presented here is a new color image of the southwest region of the
Andromeda Galaxy taken with Subaru's prime focus camera
"Suprime-Cam". We see the stars of the Andromeda Galaxy as a great
many small white dots. Many of the stars, star clusters, and nebulae
in the image are seen clearly resolved for the first time.

CHANDRA EXAMINES A QUADRILLION-VOLT PULSAR
------------------------------------------
The high-voltage environment of one of the most energetic and
strongly magnetized pulsars known has been surveyed by NASA's Chandra
X-ray Observatory. A team of astronomers found a powerful jet of
high-energy particles extending over a distance of 20 light years and
bright arcs believed to be due to particles of matter and anti-matter
generated by the pulsar.

GREATER HUBBLE ACCURACY DEEPENS UNDERSTANDING
---------------------------------------------
The dedicated team effort to understand and correct systematic
effects in observations from Hubble's Faint Object Spectrograph has
now been concluded. In future astronomers who use the observations
from this instrument will be able to measure the exact velocity of
interstellar clouds, as well as the motions of individual parts of
nebulae and galaxies.
