Instead of determining the mass of a planet by measuring the orbits of moons or spacecraft around them, astronomers have come up with a new method using radio signals from pulsars.
This is first time anyone has weighed entire planetary systems-planets with their moons and rings, says team leader David Champion of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy.

Planet HAT-P-7b is nothing at all like Earth. This gas giant world circles its star every 2.2 days in a tight orbit that heats up the planet's surface to a boiling 4,310 degrees Fahrenheit (2,376 degrees Celsius).
"It is as hot as a glowing-red heating element in your stove or toaster,"

The sequence, including 16-shuttle-flights, foresees launch of the European Columbus Laboratory module on the 7th shuttle flight of the sequence and launch of the Japanese experiment module and associated equipment on the 8th, 9th and 12th shuttle flights. The assembly sequence provides almost a year's cushion for completion of assembly by 2010.

Moondust. "I wish I could send you some," says Apollo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan. Just a thimbleful scooped fresh off the lunar surface. "It's amazing stuff."
Feel it--it's soft like snow, yet strangely abrasive.
Taste it--"not half bad," according to Apollo 16 astronaut John Young.
Sniff it--"it smells like spent gunpowder," says Cernan.
