♦ Mission to repair Hubble Telescope delayed a month

1 vote

CAPE CANAVERAL — NASA's final visit to the Hubble Space Telescope has been delayed at least a month, until the fall, because of extra time needed to build the shuttle fuel tanks needed for the flight and a potential rescue mission. Atlantis and a crew of seven were supposed to fly to Hubble at the end of August, but now won't make the journey until the end of September or early October.

♦ Young Galaxies Have Surprisingly Strong Magnetic Fields: Contradicts Popular Theories

1 vote	ScienceDaily (July 24, 2008) The origin of magnetic fields in galaxies is still a mystery to astronomers. Popular theories suggest continual strengthening over billions of years. The latest results from Simon Lillys group, however, contradict this assumption and reveal that young galaxies also have strong magnetic fields.
