Recreating the Big Bang. |
   | Hi everyone, A few quick notes before it's onto the news. 1. The Space Shuttle Endeavour is ready to go for tomorrow's launch at 9:30am PST (1730 UST). The weather looks good, and nothing seems to be broken yet. I think she'll make it into orbit this time. If you want to find out more about the mission, or tune in to watch the launch, just visit a special page I created for the mission, with links to places to watch it online. I'll update the page as the mission continues, so stay tuned.

Recreating the Big Bang Russia Can't Find Experimental Spacecraft Astro-E Goes Missing After Launch SOHO is the World's Most Successful Comet Hunter RECREATING THE BIG BANG Swiss physicists believe they have recreated the kind of matter that existed 1/100,000th of a second after the Big Bang, by slamming iron ions together in the giant particle accelerator at CERN. In this fundamental soup, temperatures are so hot - 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun - that quarks float around individually. http://www.msnbc.com/news/368067.asp http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/littlebigbang000209.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_636000/636886.stm http://www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000210/misc_quark.html http://www.foxnews.com/science/020900/bigbang.sml RUSSIA CAN'T FIND EXPERIMENTAL SPACECRAFT Russia announced the successful launch of an experimental new upper stage rocket yesterday, but it went missing after returning to Earth. The "Fregat" accelerator block, launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome, lifted to orbit, and then orbited 5 times before going missing. Russia considers the launch a success, even though they can't find it. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/fregat000209.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_637000/637184.stm http://cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/02/09/space.russia.reut/index.html http://www.foxnews.com/science/020900/launchvehicle.sml ASTRO-E GOES MISSING AFTER LAUNCH A Japanese M-5 rocket carrying the Astro-E X-ray satellite failed to reach the correct altitude after launch yesterday, and likely sent the observatory crashing back into the atmosphere to burn up. The $105 million Astro-E was built by a Japanese/US consortium, and was designed to study the "colours" of X-ray light. http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/japan-astroe-00b.html http://spaceflightnow.com/m5/astroe/000210failure.html http://www.flatoday.com/space/explore/stories/2000a/021000failure.htm http://www.msnbc.com/news/367679.asp http://www.spaceviews.com/2000/02/10a.html SOHO IS THE WORLD'S MOST SUCCESSFUL Comet HUNTER In addition to its imaging work of the sun, SOHO is quite a distinguished Comet hunter. During its mission, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory has found 100 comets and counting. SOHO is so lucky because it has the best seat in the house to watch comets in their final moments as they plunge into the Sun and burn up. http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/comet-00a.html http://cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/02/09/soho.comets/index.html News from SpaceDaily.com for Today Fregat Upper Stage Test Clears Cluster-2 For Development http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/cluster2-00b.html Japan Sends X-ray Scope Into Wrong Orbit http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/japan-astroe-00b.html Japan satellite Market Rockets With Superbird-4 http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/japan-superbird4-00a.html Sun Scope Spys Over 100 Comets http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/comet-00a.html Jupiter Adds Spark To Great Red Spot http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/galileo-00b.html Columbia Gets X-ray Vision http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/xmm-00d.html Russia Tests Topol ICBM http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/icbm-00b.html Threat Of ICBMs To US Grows CIA Tells Congress http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/icbm-00c.html North Korea Reaches Out To Foes In Dramatic Diplomatic Seachange http://www.spacedaily.com/spacecast/news/korea-00e.html N.
