The Brightest of Stars
Swirls of gas and dust reside in this ethereal-looking region of star formation seen by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. This majestic view, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), reveals a region where low-mass, infant stars and their much more massive stellar neighbors reside. A shroud of blue haze gently lingers amid the stars.
Known as LH 95, this is just one of the hundreds of star-forming systems, called associations, located in the LMC some 160,000 light-years distant. Earlier ground-based observations of such systems had only allowed astronomers to study the bright blue giant stars present in these regions. With Hubble's resolution, the low-mass stars can now be analyzed, which will allow for a more accurate calculation of their ages and masses.

A close-up view of Discovery's tail section is featured in this image that was taken during a backflip maneuver as the shuttle approached the International Space Station. The image provides views of the shuttle's main engines, orbital maneuvering system pods, vertical stabilizer and the Harmony node in the payload bay.

The U.S. Navy's test of Vanguard rocket, along with its satellite payload, went hopelessly awry when the rocket failed to develop sufficient thrust and toppled over on the launch pad. The malfunctioning first stage caused vehicle to lose thrust after two seconds.
The Dec. 6, 1957 launch was slated for the U.S. International Geophysical Year program to place satellite in Earth orbit to determine atmospheric density and conduct geodetic measurements.
