Mars exploration
 Planners feel the microscopic formations in Mars meteorite ALH84001, found in Antarctica, and the highly diverse samples of rocks believed to have been strewn about by ancient rivers seen at the Mars Pathfinder landing site, provide a strong motive for sending human exobiologists and geologists to the Red Planet. This artist's rendering depicts two such scientists.  Click the thumbnail image to get highest resolution version.

Solar System exploration
 On the way to the Jovian system, a nuclear thermal transfer vehicle refuels in a Mars-orbit near Martian moon Phobos, in this artist's rendering. This steady-state system could provide a reliable foundation for the exploration and eventual colonization of the Solar System. This image produced for NASA by Pat Rawlings, (SAIC).

Eclipsing Pulsar Promises Clues to Crushed Matter
 Astronomers using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have found the first fast X-ray pulsar to be eclipsed by its companion star. Further studies of this unique stellar system will shed light on some of the most compressed matter in the universe and test a key prediction of Einstein's relativity theory.
