Penn had to commit three fouls on the inboundsbefore putting Harvard in the bonus, and Millerwas sent to the line for a one-and-one with eightseconds left. Miller missed the front end,igniting a wild scramble for the ball. Caramanicoappeared to haul it down, but Russell flicked itout of her hands, secured possession and drew afoul...
...looks as though they will. On Feb. 6 a remarkable space probe called Stardust is scheduled to take off for a January 2004 encounter with Comet Wild (pronounced Vilt) 2. With a tennis racquet-size collector, Stardust will snatch dust particles from the comet's tail as it flies by and then, in an audacious interplanetary maneuver, return to parachute its precious cargo to Earth two years later...
...other instruments had to be light, but the collector had to be ingenious. Although the probe will loop two times around the sun to help it match orbits with the comet, Stardust and Wild 2 will still shoot past each other at nearly 4 miles per second, 10 times as fast as a speeding bullet. In order to catch dust particles without disintegrating them, Jet Propulsion Lab engineer Peter Tsou first thought of making a trap out of Styrofoam; he figured dust would bury itself harmlessly inside. Unfortunately, says Tsou, "cosmic dust particles are so small that on Styrofoam...
...switched to aerogel, an ultra-lightweight glass foam that's 99.8% air. It resembles nothing so much as solidified smoke. The aerogel is packed into a collector that resembles a circular ice-cube tray about a foot across. En route to Wild 2, one side will trap dust that's wafting in from beyond the solar system--another item of great interest to astronomers--and once there, it will flip to scoop up comet dust...
...then they probably don't have a clue about the Boston radio scene. Upton is mad that Kiss 108 doesn't play enough "black" music; Mehta cries that Jam'n isn't serving as the "sounding board for black concerns to suburban white listeners" that it would be, while WILD (which was supposedly a great "sounding board" in the 1960s) is too small...
