Hubble Photographs galaxy NGC 2841
The galaxy NGC 2841, shown here in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image released on February 17, 2011, taken with the space observatory’s newest instrument, the Wide Field Camera 3, currently has a relatively low star formation rate compared to other spirals. It is one of several nearby galaxies that have been specifically chosen for a new study in which a pick ’n’ mix of different stellar nursery environments and birth rates are being observed.

NASA's Kempler Mission Discovers Strange World
NASA's Kepler mission has discovered a world where two suns set over the horizon instead of just one, it was announced on September 15, 2011. The planet, called Kepler-16b, is the most "Tatooine-like" planet yet found in our galaxy and is depicted here in this artist's concept with its two stars. Tatooine is the name of Luke Skywalker's home world in the science fiction movie Star Wars. In this case, the planet it not thought to be habitable. It is a cold world, with a gaseous surface, but like Tatooine, it circles two stars. The largest of the two stars, a K dwarf, is about 69 percent the mass of our sun, and the smallest, a red dwarf, is about 20 percent the sun's mass. UPI/NASA
stronaut Bruce McCandless "free-flies" with jet pack
On Feb. 12, 1984, astronaut Bruce McCandless, ventured further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut had ever been. This space first was made possible by a nitrogen jet propelled backpack, previously known at NASA as the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space. UPI/NASA
