Centre of the Galaxy Mapped. |
   | December 20, 2000 Landing Spot Chosen for Beagle 2 Centre of the Galaxy Mapped Ariane 5 Launches Three Satellites Brittle Cable May Delay Shuttle Launch LANDING SPOT CHOSEN FOR BEAGLE 2 The European Space Agency announced yesterday that it has chosen Mars' Isidis Planitia as the landing spot for Beagle 2. The probe will land in a basin believed to be the location of an ancient lake, containing layers of sedimentation, and search for evidence of past life in the soil. Beagle 2 is part of the ESA Mars Express, which is expected to reach the Red planet in 2003 Original Source: http://sci.esa.int/content/searchimage/searchresult.cfm?aid=9&cid=32&ooid=25650 Internet Coverage: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1079000/1079916.stm http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/12/20/beagle.landing.site/index.html Similar Stories: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/mars.html Related Sites: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/mars.html Related Books: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/mars.html CENTRE OF THE Galaxy MAPPED An international team of Astronomers have produced the most detailed map ever produced of the centre of our own Milky Way. This stunning photograph shows stellar nurseries, wispy filaments, clouds of gas, and at the very centre is Sagittarius A; an object believed to be a massive black hole. The team produced the map using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array, and the 15-metre James Clerk Maxwell telescope in Hawaii Original Source: http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/projects/galcen/index.html Internet Coverage: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1078000/1078352.stm Similar Stories: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/Astronomy.html Related Sites: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/Astronomy.html Related Books: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/Astronomy.html ARIANE 5 LAUNCHES THREE SATELLITES An Ariane 5 rocket successfully launched yesterday, carrying satellites from three different countries.

Originally scheduled for January 18, 2001, Atlantis will carry the US Destiny Lab to space station Alpha. Engineers are debating whether the cable can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. Space Shuttle Discovery's was recently pushed back as well because of damaged thrusters.
