Now, here's today's news:g STARS - What is the habitable zone for the nearby star system 40 Eridani ABC?g ABODES -Astronomers have found that sunlight affects the formation of binary asteroids. The study sheds light on asteroid structure and could aid in the design of future sample-return missions. See article.g MESSAGE -How might we detect an extraterrestrial messenger probe already in the solar system? See article. Note: This article is from 1983.g COSMICUS -NASA has the vision of not only returning astronauts back to the orbital dustball in 2020, but establishing a long-term moon base there. Needless to say, there's plenty of arrangements to be made before the moonbuggy pulls into 555 South Pole-Aitken Basin Avenue. See article.g AFTERMATH - If we hear from ET, not only can we expect his civilization to be an old one with a great time lag in correspondence, a SETI astronomer says.
