>NEW OPTICAL SETI TELESCOPE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
>-------------------------
>A telescope designed to search for laser signals from
>extraterrestrial civilizations is now under construction in
>Harvard, Massachusetts, and should be ready in a year. The 1.8
>metre Optical SETI Telescope will examine candidate stars,
>searching for a brief laser pulse that could be several hundred
>times brighter than the actual star. While other OSETI programs
>exist, this will be the first telescope to be used exclusively for
>this purpose.

>NO PROBLEMS FOUND WITH THE SHUTTLE'S WIRING
>-------------------------
>Engineers worked on the space shuttle Atlantis over the weekend to
>see there were any problems with the shuttle's wiring - they didn't
>find any problems. Assuming there are no other delays, Atlantis
>will be rolled out to the launch pad on Thursday, and prepared for
>launch as early as February 6th. Once it does get into orbit, the
>shuttle will dock with the space station Alpha, and the astronauts
>will install the new $1.38 billion Destiny laboratory module.

>NEW CASSINI IMAGES RELEASED
>-------------------------
>A new photo taken by the Cassini spacecraft as it passed Jupiter
>shows the moon Io above the clouds. The photo was taken on January
>1, 2001, two days after the spacecraft's closest approach. It looks
>like the moon is right above the clouds, but the image is deceiving
>- Io is actually 350,000 kilometres away from the surface(two
>Jupiter diameters).
