I'm not sure if this belongs here (please move if it doesn't) but I found this interesting: Found: Firm place to stand outside solar system - Yahoo! News

Another article I thought was interesting: Mega-star explosion most distant object ever seen - Yahoo! News

I'll be over there. *points to, then heads for, the Mope Corner*

Far out!! (groans )

Caught the same report in New Scientist yesterday and it is striking the difference between the mass media version, full of implied statements of fact, and the science journal one, always stating the actual conjecture the ideas are based on.

A couple more interesting articles with pictures:

SPACE.com -- Triple Sunset: Planet Discovered in 3-Star System
Astronomers say they've found oldest galaxy so far - Yahoo! News

And here's one article without photos: http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20101022/sc_space/starwarsplanetwith2sunschallengestheories

Sorry about the c/p jobs, but it was easier than trying to wrap my head around several of the items discussed.
