Our sun will probably look very much the same for the next few billion years, plodding happily along the main sequence, bathing our solar system in its friendly yellow rays. All very nice for us living on Earth, of course, but not terribly exciting.

Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) stops working

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.

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft to fly past Jupiter on way to Pluto-Charon system

On January 19, 2006, the NASA New Frontiers space mission called New Horizons was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, for its mission to the planet Pluto and its moon Charon. Now about one year later, astronomers are preparing for its flyby of the planet Jupiter before it reaches dwarf planets Pluto and Charon. Scientists estimate that its closest approach to Jupiter will be at approximately 06:00 UTC (coordinated universal time) on February 28, 2007, which is 1:00 a.m. eastern standard time.

The famous "Pillars of Creation", the subject of the best known of Hubble's images, have already been blown apart by a supernova. We won't see their destruction here on Earth for another thousand years, but the astronomers making the claim estimate that the massive, star-forming pillars that make up the Eagle Nebula were obliterated almost 6000 years ago.

Astronomers reported in early January 2007 that the Hubble Space Telescope observed a massive number of particles within a turbulent circumstellar disk surrounding the 12-million-old red dwarf star AU Microscopii. These particles are said by the scientists to be in the very early stage of forming planets.
