NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft began its journey to comet Tempel 1 on Wed., Jan. 12. The mission will travel to Tempel 1 and release an impactor on July 4, creating a crater on the surface of the comet. Scientists believe the exposed materials may give clues to the formation of our solar system.WOW - Donald Parker's image of the lunar occultation of Jupiter

Google's desktop search software is so good that it exposes vulnerabilities on your computer that you didn't know about.
Last month, Google released a beta version of its desktop search software: Google Desktop Search. Install it on your Windows machine, and it creates a searchable index of your data files, including word processing files, spreadsheets, presentations, e-mail messages, cached Web pages and chat sessions. It's a great idea. Windows' searching capability has always been mediocre, and Google fixes the problem nicely.
There are some security issues, though. The problem is that GDS indexes and finds documents that you may prefer not be found. For example, GDS searches your browser's cache. This allows it to find old Web pages you've visited, including online banking summaries, personal messages sent from Web e-mail programs and password-protected personal Web pages. . .

On Tuesday, August 31, around 9 PM EDT, I was looking in the west for Comet Linear Q2003/K, which
was reported as visible in binoculars. I witnessed and photographed a bright vaporous cloud
(which was as big as the full Moon.) And was not anticipated. What was remarkable was the
structure observed through my small telescope.
It has been determined it was venting of excess gas from the
final stage of an Atlas IIAS.
It saddens me to report this was the LAST of this rocket series to ever launch. It was the only
rocket series ever to have a 100% track record!
From Space.com article:
The Atlas IIAS rocket lifted off August 31, successfully carrying a national security payload into orbit. The mission, called AC-167, was provided for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) by International Launch Services (ILS), using a Lockheed Martin-built Atlas vehicle.BBC SpaceLiftoff was at 7:17 p.m. EDT (23:17 GMT), August 31 from Cape Canaveral's Pad 36A, with payload separation into transfer orbit 73 minutes later.
