... I now want to discuss a completely different use of the internet--for educating the public, for making it aware of the exploration of space by unmanned satellites. What we have produced here is a general qualitative overview of space physics, the kind of material which could fit a freshman course "space physics for poets." ... One option being seriously considered is to try both routes and make this a printed book as well as a web document. ... Electric Currents from Space (+H) . ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...
