The international space station, shown here in a photo taken from the shuttle Discovery in June, had to change course this week by firing the thrusters on Europe's docked Automated Transfer Vehicle. The ATV and its four solar panels are visible at the bottom of the image.For the first time in five years, the international space station changed course on Wednesday to avoid a piece of space junk — in this case, satellite debris that the Russians have insisted wasn't there.

In the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, space shuttle Atlantis is moved across the I-beam toward the waiting external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters in high bay 3. NASA engineers successfully freed a stuck metal pin on the space shuttle Atlantis late Tuesday, but the work delayed plans to roll the spacecraft out to its Florida launch pad this week.

NASA astronaut Greg Chamitoff, Expedition 17 flight engineer, uses a computer while working with an experiment in the Japanese Kibo laboratory of the international space station. A computer virus was detected aboard the space station on July 25, 2008, but did not infect the space station's command and control computers. A virus designed to swipe passwords from online gamers has inexplicably popped up in some laptop computers aboard the international space station.

This clash of clusters provides further evidence for dark matter. Ordinary matter, mostly in the form of hot gas, glows brightly in X-rays (shown in pink) and was slowed down by the collision. But dark matter (shown in blue) passed right through. Click on the image for a larger version.Astronomers say fresh imagery of a powerful collision of galaxy clusters supports the idea that dark matter is something totally separate from ordinary matter.
