On Tuesday, December 18, 2007, NASA engineers on the ground found that a bad connector was causing fuel-gauge sensor problems. All the while, NASA astronauts in space found a bad motor that was likely affecting the space station’s solar wing-tilting mechanism, but still could not pinpoint the problem with a damaged solar rotary joint.

Astronomers at the University of Alabama (Huntsville, U.S.A.) and the Helsinki Observatory (Finland) found that X-rays coming from galaxy cluster Abell 3112 originate from electrons and photons. If this conclusion holds with other galaxy clusters, it will considerably reduce the mass of the universe.

While some may make light of a bevvy of strange looking shiny vehicles worming their way down a 3,000 km highway through central Australia, there is nothing wacky about the 20th World Solar Challenge taking place this week from Darwin to Adelaide. With each passing year, the cars have become better, faster and more energy efficient to the point where observer bemusement has been replaced by thoughtful contemplation.
