CHANDRA HELPS DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF X-RAY RADIATION

The newly launched Chandra X-ray observatory has been used to get

to the bottom of an astronomical mystery - the source of

background x-ray radiation. By using Chandra to resolve a small

area of sky they determined that 80% of the background glow was

actually discrete x-ray sources, most of which are radiation from

galaxies, and giant black holes at their centres.

X-33 SEES DELAYS FROM FAULTY FUEL TANKS

NASA was hoping to test fly the X-33 spaceplane this summer, but

it looks like the flight will be delayed because of leaky fuel

tanks. How long they will be delayed is unknown, as the

graphite-epoxy tanks may need to be completely replaced with

aluminum alternatives.
