Theoretical physicists from the University of North Carolina suggest that the universe was not created in a Big Bang but, rather, expands and contracts in an endless (infinite) cycle.

The nearly five-year-old Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope shut down at about 7:34 a.m. EST on Saturday, January 27, 2007, after a short circuit in the electrical system. This failure caused Hubble to go into ‘safe mode’. At about 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, one day later, the remaining Hubble instruments resumed their normal operations without ACS.

The ESA-led unmanned Rosetta spacecraft launched to study two asteroids and one comet will do a Mars fly-by on February 25, 2007. Later, the spacecraft will do fly-bys of asteroid 2867 Šteins and asteroid 21 Luetia, and its lander Philae will land on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center have been designing, developing, and testing microshutters that will be placed on the James Webb Space Telescope. The microshutters will allow astronomers to see further into space than previously able. They will also filter out unwanted light from shining objects that are closer than the distant objects being studied.
