In one of the first significant scientific findings from the effort to detect gravitational waves, the team operating the Laser Interferometer Gravity-wave Observatory (LIGO) has reported that the pulsar at the center of the Crab Nebula must have an extremely smooth surface. Here the Crab Nebula is shown in a composite image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

An aeronautics and astronautics project led by MIT researcher Chuck Oman aims to provide better training systems for astronauts to learn how to use robotic arms in space. At left, Joseph Silverman, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, tries his hand with the joysticks that control the robotic arm. At right is graduate student Zakiya Tomlinson, who is running the experiment.
