The experiment in October involved the collision of the two ton rocket Centaur with the lunar crater Cabeus, located at the southern pole. Spectroscopic measurements of the debris thrown up during the impact revealed the presence of both ice and water vapor. Ultraviolet analysis revealed the presence of the hydroxyl radical, which is most probably formed during the solar photodegradation of water vapor. Scientists estimated that over 200 pounds, or around 100 kg, of water was present in the debris thrown up by the impact. The rocket is estimated to have made a hole of about 60 to 70 feed in diameter.

The expanded indication for the CYPHER SELECT Plus Stent provides physicians with another option for treating this serious cardiac event. According to Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology and European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions, more than 150,000 percutaneous coronary interventions are performed for heart attacks every year in Europe. (EuroIntervention; 2007; 3: 442-446).
]]> While further study is needed to identify the specific disease-causing
mutations in these new genes, the researchers say the genes are
particularly strong candidates to be added to the list of genes already
known to affect IBD. "As we continue to find genes that interact with each
other and with environmental influences in this complex, chronic disease,
we are building the foundation for personalized treatments tailored to a
patient's genetic profile," said co-first author Robert N. Baldassano,
M.D., director of the Center for Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease at
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"We've done everything we entered Victoria Crater to do and more," said Bruce Banerdt, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Banerdt is project scientist for Opportunity and its rover twin, Spirit.
Having completed its job in the crater, Opportunity is now preparing to inspect loose cobbles on the plains. Some of these rocks, approximately fist-size and larger, were thrown long distances when objects hitting Mars blasted craters deeper than Victoria into the Red Planet. Opportunity has driven past scores of cobbles but examined only a few.
"Our experience tells us there's lots of diversity among the cobbles," said Scott McLennan of the State University of New York, Stony Brook. McLennan is a long-term planning leader for the rover science team. "We want to get a better characterization of them. A statistical sampling from examining more of them will be important for understanding the geology of the area."
