>A DEAD STAR SEEN SNACKING ON SHREDDED ASTEROID
>----------------------------------------------
>For the last two years, astronomers have suspected that a nearby white
>dwarf star was "snacking" on a shredded asteroid. Now, an analysis of
>chemical "crumbs" in the star's atmosphere has confirmed this suspicion.
>"This is a really fascinating system, that could offer clues to what our
>solar system may look like in approximately five billion years when our
>Sun becomes a white dwarf," a scientist says.

>The double sunset that Luke Skywalker gazed upon in the film "Star Wars"
>might not be a fantasy.  NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has observed that
>planetary systems are at least as abundant in twin-star systems as they
>are in those, like our own, with only one star. Sunsets on some of those
>worlds would resemble the ones on Luke Skywalker's planet, Tatooine, where
>two fiery balls dip below the horizon one by one.

>DID DUST BUST THE 2006 HURRICANE SEASON FORECASTS?
>--------------------------------------------------
>A recent NASA study suggests that tiny dust particles may have foiled
>forecasts that the 2006 hurricane season would be another active one. In
>June and July 2006, there were several significant dust storms over the
>Sahara Desert in Africa. As this dust traveled westward into the Atlantic,
>satellite data show that the particles blocked sunlight from reaching the
>ocean surface, causing ocean waters to cool.
