Along this pathway, the telescope can always face 90° away from the sun, yet catch rays of sunlight on its solar panels to make electricity to power itself...
...discovery could potentially help counteract auto-immune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and arthritis, researchers announced last week. The cancer gene discovery is still being researched, and will not be applied to cancer patients for many years. Other research projects currently underway at the institute include a study of sunlight's effect as a carcinogenic agent, and an inquiry into cell-growth control...
