Science editor Alan Boyle's Weblog: Do rocket planes and men's fashions mix? The Rocket Racing League and DKNY, which have just struck a sponsorship deal, certainly hope so.Science editor Alan Boyle's Weblog: Do rocket planes and men's fashions mix?

An illustration of NEOSSat, the 143-pound satellite expected to launch in 2010 and track asteroids and satellites orbiting near the Earth. A tiny Canadian satellite is gearing up for a mission to hunt wayward space rocks that may pose a threat to Earth.

The double doors to the oven that will heat up the ice sample (on the right) are wide open in this image of four pairs of oven doors on Phoenix's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer. The lander's Surface Stereo Imager took this photo during the 53rd Martian day since Phoenix landed.Mission controllers extended the Phoenix Mars Lander's schedule to keep it awake during the Martian night so the lander could coordinate with observations made by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as it flew over Phoenix.

The nova V598 Puppis, accidentally discovered in the XMM-Newton slew survey. The X-ray contours, which indicate the position of the nova, are overlaid on image composite (infrared, red and blue channels).An orbiting X-ray observatory has discovered an exploding star in the Milky Way which somehow escaped notice by the usual crowd of star gazers.

A Hubble Space Telescope image of visible light emitted by a protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula called proplyd 170-337 shows hot, ionized gas (red) surrounding and streaming off of a disk (yellow). The contours reveal the dust disk hiding within the hot gas. As humans look farther into the universe and discover more and more planets beyond the sun, many wonder how typical our own solar system is. Often astronomers in the planet-hunting business say discoveries of Earth-like worlds are just around the corner. But a new study indicates our setup may be rare indeed.
