| Astronomy ESO Releases New Images of Saturn and Io  | | Image credit: ESO |
The European Southern Observatory released stunning new images of the planet Saturn and its Moon Io on Friday - the sharpest ever taken by a ground observatory. The photographs were taken using the ESO's Very Large telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, which rivals the Hubble Space Telescope in image clarity. This is an almost perfect view of Saturn, taken when the planet's rings were tilted towards the Earth. [ Visit Website ] Feb 4, 2002, 8:36pm

Three NASA spacecraft chronicled the devastation that occurred when the Nyiragongo Volcano in Congo erupted on January 17th. The eruption killed more than 100 people and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate the area.
