...Pony-tailed Ana Ivanovic, 19, came from nowhere to make the final of the French Open earlier this year, with a website that has registered more hits than that of the previous tennis bombshell, Maria Sharapova of Russia. Jelena Jankovic, 22, is headed for a quarterfinals match with Venus Williams on Wednesday night at the U.S. Open in New York. Meanwhile, Djokovic, the third seed at the Open, just behind Federer and Nadal and ahead of Roddick, made it into the quarterfinals on Tuesday night after a hard-fought four setter against the Argentine Juan Monaco.

As for where the comets came from, it's long been assumed that they formed directly out of clouds of interstellar gas and dust. That's why scientists are so interested in them: by studying comets, they figured they could get a handle on material that's been unchanged for billions of years...

...duck of a spacecraft, scheduled to launch in September, is known simply as Dawn, and its destinations are the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, mysterious bodies orbiting in the belt of rubble that circles the sun between Mars and Venus. NASA vehicles have been this way before, but they've usually been just passing through on their way to the planets in the outer solar system. This time the asteroid belt itself will be the destination, and the ship will get there courtesy of the young technology of ion propulsion...
...addition to showing his glamourous work, the designer has virtually put the city of Rome on display. Following the exhibit, a dinner for 900 was held in the Temple of Venus, in front of the Colosseum. The famous Roman set designer, Dante Ferretti, created a breathtaking colonnade of columns lit from within. And on Saturday, Valentino will show his haute couture collection in the Baglivi and Incisa halls of the Monumental Complex of the Santo Spirito in Sassia, the oldest charitable institution of Rome, followed by a gala dinner in the Villa Borghese gardens. If this is 45, one guest...
