... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...

One of the major unknowns in the history of Earth is concerned with the effects on the Earth of the Late Heavy Bombardment, documented on the moon during ~3.95-3.85 billion years. To date pre-3.6 billion years-old terrains disclose little evidence for asteroid impacts, likely due to the masking of their textural, mineralogical and geochemical signatures by high grade metamorphism. ... To date at least 15 such events are recorded in South Africa and Western Australia. ...
