Hubble Shows Just How Violent Planet Formation Can Be. |
   | April 27, 2001 O Canada! Arming the International Space Station Endeavour Will Stay in Space an Extra Two Days Hubble Shows Just How Violent planet Formation Can Be O CANADA! ARMING THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION The current mission to the International Space Station highlights the stalwart contribution of one of the 'unsung' partners in the project - Canada. The new generation Canadarm is a precursor to the further expansion of the Station, and testimony to Canadian expertise in robotics and space technology. Jennifer Laing examines the crucial role Canada is playing in the shift towards international space cooperation. Read the article http://www.universetoday.com/html/articles/2001-0427a.html ENDEAVOUR WILL STAY IN SPACE AN EXTRA TWO DAYS NASA announced yesterday that Space Shuttle mission STS-100 will be delayed another two days because of computer problems that have plagued the International Space Station this week. It was originally feared that the delays would push back Dennis Tito's Soyuz flight as well, but NASA has said that it will have the repairs completed before the Soyuz docks early next week. Astronauts on board the station still have to complete a test of the newly-installed Canadarm2, where it passes its own packing crate back to Endeavour.

Far from a gentle process, though, the young planets are blasted by radiation from a nearby star called Theta 1 Orionis C - Astronomers have described the process as "building a skyscraper in the middle of a tornado".
