Hubble Space Telescope Released
Using Atlantis' robotic arm, Mission Specialist Megan McArthur released NASA's Hubble Space Telescope at 8:57 a.m. EDT. With soft separation burn, Atlantis now is slowly backing away from the telescope. A jet firing will be performed in about a half-hour to increase Atlantis’ separation rate from the telescope, as the seven crew members bid farewell to Hubble for the final time."

Apollo 10: 40 Years Later - NASA
In May 1969, astronauts Cernan, Young and Stafford blasted off for the moon on a crucial dress rehearsal.
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/apollo40/
"On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 was launched on a mission to orbit the moon. The flight was a test run, a crucial dress rehearsal leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission that two months later carried the first people to walk on the moon. Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second to reach lunar orbit.
During the mission, John Young piloted the command module, while Stafford and Cernan descended to within 8.4 nautical miles of the moon's surface. Cernan, the second American to walk in space, later would become the last person to walk on moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apollo 10's journey to the moon and back to Earth took 192 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds. "

Review: The Universe: Order without design - New Scientist
"IN THIS excellent book, NASA physicist Carlos Calle tackles the question of whether the universe requires a supernatural "designer" or whether our cosmological theories can explain the wondrous reality around us.
The standard model of cosmology, in which a tiny piece of inflating "false vacuum" decays into a fireball, and stars and galaxies congeal out of the cooling debris, has passed many tests, but problems remain. Where did the false vacuum come from in the first place? And how do the supposedly enormous quantum convulsions of our current vacuum manage to cancel out to almost - but not exactly - zero, leaving behind a piddling "dark energy" that lies in the tiny range of values that allow life to exist?"

Flat universe may be the new flat Earth - New Scientist
"This produced a 98 per cent probability that the universe is indeed flat. When they reran the calculation starting from a more open-minded position, however, the probability changed to 67 per cent, making a flat universe far less of a certainty than astronomers generally conclude.
"It's a reasonable assumption that the universe isn't entirely flat," Silk says, adding that the calculation reveals how strongly astronomers' prejudices can affect their conclusions. David Spergel of Princeton University, the spokesman for WMAP, agrees. "They've developed a statistically rigorous way of examining the question," he says."

"In physics, this is known as the N-body problem. It’s simple if you have only two objects: they orbit their common center of mass in a circle or an ellipse. But three or more objects send the system into chaos. Physicists and mathematicians banged their head against it for centuries, with a general solution emerging less than 20 years ago.
Now they’re seeking academic recognition for the work. The paper appeared on the arXiv preprint service Friday, and has been submitted to Journal of Virtual Worlds Research."

Hubble Space Telescope Released
Using Atlantis' robotic arm, Mission Specialist Megan McArthur released NASA's Hubble Space Telescope at 8:57 a.m. EDT. With soft separation burn, Atlantis now is slowly backing away from the telescope. A jet firing will be performed in about a half-hour to increase Atlantis’ separation rate from the telescope, as the seven crew members bid farewell to Hubble for the final time."

Apollo 10: 40 Years Later - NASA
In May 1969, astronauts Cernan, Young and Stafford blasted off for the moon on a crucial dress rehearsal.
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/apollo40/
"On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 was launched on a mission to orbit the moon. The flight was a test run, a crucial dress rehearsal leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission that two months later carried the first people to walk on the moon. Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second to reach lunar orbit.
During the mission, John Young piloted the command module, while Stafford and Cernan descended to within 8.4 nautical miles of the moon's surface. Cernan, the second American to walk in space, later would become the last person to walk on moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apollo 10's journey to the moon and back to Earth took 192 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds. "

Review: The Universe: Order without design - New Scientist
"IN THIS excellent book, NASA physicist Carlos Calle tackles the question of whether the universe requires a supernatural "designer" or whether our cosmological theories can explain the wondrous reality around us.
The standard model of cosmology, in which a tiny piece of inflating "false vacuum" decays into a fireball, and stars and galaxies congeal out of the cooling debris, has passed many tests, but problems remain. Where did the false vacuum come from in the first place? And how do the supposedly enormous quantum convulsions of our current vacuum manage to cancel out to almost - but not exactly - zero, leaving behind a piddling "dark energy" that lies in the tiny range of values that allow life to exist?"

Flat universe may be the new flat Earth - New Scientist
"This produced a 98 per cent probability that the universe is indeed flat. When they reran the calculation starting from a more open-minded position, however, the probability changed to 67 per cent, making a flat universe far less of a certainty than astronomers generally conclude.
"It's a reasonable assumption that the universe isn't entirely flat," Silk says, adding that the calculation reveals how strongly astronomers' prejudices can affect their conclusions. David Spergel of Princeton University, the spokesman for WMAP, agrees. "They've developed a statistically rigorous way of examining the question," he says."

Hubble Space Telescope Released
Using Atlantis' robotic arm, Mission Specialist Megan McArthur released NASA's Hubble Space Telescope at 8:57 a.m. EDT. With soft separation burn, Atlantis now is slowly backing away from the telescope. A jet firing will be performed in about a half-hour to increase Atlantis’ separation rate from the telescope, as the seven crew members bid farewell to Hubble for the final time."

Apollo 10: 40 Years Later - NASA
In May 1969, astronauts Cernan, Young and Stafford blasted off for the moon on a crucial dress rehearsal.
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/apollo40/
"On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 was launched on a mission to orbit the moon. The flight was a test run, a crucial dress rehearsal leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission that two months later carried the first people to walk on the moon. Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second to reach lunar orbit.
During the mission, John Young piloted the command module, while Stafford and Cernan descended to within 8.4 nautical miles of the moon's surface. Cernan, the second American to walk in space, later would become the last person to walk on moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apollo 10's journey to the moon and back to Earth took 192 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds. "

Review: The Universe: Order without design - New Scientist
"IN THIS excellent book, NASA physicist Carlos Calle tackles the question of whether the universe requires a supernatural "designer" or whether our cosmological theories can explain the wondrous reality around us.
The standard model of cosmology, in which a tiny piece of inflating "false vacuum" decays into a fireball, and stars and galaxies congeal out of the cooling debris, has passed many tests, but problems remain. Where did the false vacuum come from in the first place? And how do the supposedly enormous quantum convulsions of our current vacuum manage to cancel out to almost - but not exactly - zero, leaving behind a piddling "dark energy" that lies in the tiny range of values that allow life to exist?"

Flat universe may be the new flat Earth - New Scientist
"This produced a 98 per cent probability that the universe is indeed flat. When they reran the calculation starting from a more open-minded position, however, the probability changed to 67 per cent, making a flat universe far less of a certainty than astronomers generally conclude.
"It's a reasonable assumption that the universe isn't entirely flat," Silk says, adding that the calculation reveals how strongly astronomers' prejudices can affect their conclusions. David Spergel of Princeton University, the spokesman for WMAP, agrees. "They've developed a statistically rigorous way of examining the question," he says."

Simulate Star Clusters with Second Life Mod | Wired Science |
"In physics, this is known as the N-body problem. It’s simple if you have only two objects: they orbit their common center of mass in a circle or an ellipse. But three or more objects send the system into chaos. Physicists and mathematicians banged their head against it for centuries, with a general solution emerging less than 20 years ago.
Now they’re seeking academic recognition for the work. The paper appeared on the arXiv prepri
