Chemistry World August 1, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Whirling Dust Devils Bust Martian Methane Snow storms of hydrogen peroxide might sound like an easy way to go platinum blonde, but their existence on Mars could help solve the conundrum about levels of methane gas in the martian atmosphere.
Geotimes August 2006 Carolyn Gramling	Todd Hoeksema: A Flare for All Things Solar The researcher at the Wilcox Solar Observatory at Stanford University in California helped NASA create a new "roadmap" for future solar physics research.
IEEE Spectrum August 2006	Spacesuit, Snowsuit Red Planet simulations are meant to simulate as closely as possible what living and working on Mars would be like. But sometimes the illusion is broken. Snow doesn't fall on Mars, but nearby Hanksville, Utah, averages 15 centimeters per year.
Geotimes July 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Titanic Methane Mystery Solved? Planetary scientists discovered dozens of lakes, some connected by river-like channels, at Titan's north pole. Researchers suggest that the lakes could hold enough liquid methane to resupply the Saturnian moon's atmosphere with methane gas.
Science News July 22, 2006	Science Safari: Black Hole Explorations What would it be like to orbit a black hole -- or even to fall into one? You can find out by exploring the world of black holes on a Web site created by a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
Science News July 15, 2006	Science Safari: A Meteoroid Hits the Moon This NASA Web page describes observations of a recent meteoroid impact on the moon, which created a new crater.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006	Electro-optics Briefs Image sensors from e2v help NASA to study Pluto... Jenoptik Laser names Coastal Optical Systems as North American distributor... High-performance IR camera for demanding applications... etc.
Military & Aerospace Electronics July 2006 John McHale	Boeing to Develop New Electronic Circuits for Extreme Space Environments Boeing is part of a team that received a NASA contract to develop a reliable, cost-effective electronic technology that helps robotic and human space missions operate in environments of extreme cold and space radiation.
Geotimes July 2006 Jennifer Yauck	Shuttle liftoff, despite early snags The space shuttle Discovery lifted off for the International Space Station on Tuesday, July 4. It was the first launch since the shuttle fleet was grounded last summer -- and the first-ever on Independence Day!
Geotimes July 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Jetting Through Space President Bush announced on Jan. 4, 2004, his vision to return humans to the moon, Mars and beyond. Without the Cold War era impetus, however, NASA is searching for new ways to motivate development of innovative new vehicles to fly humans to the moon.
