THE DAY IN SPACE ________________ In today's space news from SpaceRef: -- First detection of CO in Uranus http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13226 "A team from Paris Observatory, led by Thirhse Encrenaz (LESIA), has just detected for the first time the molecule of carbon monoxide (CO) in the atmosphere of Uranus. The origin of this molecule is probably external to the planet, for example due to micrometeorites." -- UK scientists all set for New Year encounter with a comet http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13225 "On January 2nd 2004 the NASA space mission, STARDUST, will fly through comet Wild 2, capturing interstellar particles and dust and returning them to Earth in 2006. Space scientists from the Open University and University of Kent have developed one of the instruments which will help tell us more about comets and the evolution of our own solar system and, critical for STARDUST, its survival in the close fly-by of the comet."
