After 16 years of dedicated planning and engineering, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have completed a 3.2 gigapixel sensor array for the camera that will be used in the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), a massive telescope that will observe the universe like never before. The digital sensor array is composed of about 200 16-megapixel sensors, divided into 21 modules called "rafts." Each raft can function on its own, but when combined, they will view an area of sky that can fit more than 40 full moons in a single image. Researchers will stitch these images together to create a time-lapse movie of the complete visible universe accessible from Chile. Currently under construction on a mountaintop in Chile, LSST is designed to capture the most complete images of our universe that have ever been achieved. The project to build the telescope facility and camera is a collaborative effort among more than 30 institutions from around the world, and it is primarily funded by DOE's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation.

Bij een zware beschieting van de luchthaven van de Libische stad Tripoli is een opslagtank voor kerosine in brand gevlogen. Ook zijn een of meerdere vliegtuigen beschadigd geraakt.

Het Libische ministerie van Transport zegt dat de beschieting het werk is van troepen van rebellencommandant Haftar. Die probeert al een jaar lang om de Libische hoofdstad in handen te krijgen.

Hij doet dat met steun van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, Egypte en Rusland. De regering in Tripoli wordt gesteund door Qatar, Turkije en Italië.

Wie is wie in het conflict, en waar gaat de strijd over? Een korte uitleg:

De internationale luchthaven Mitiga is het laatste vliegveld bij de hoofdstad dat nog in gebruik is, al is dat beperkt. De burgerluchtvaart komt er vanwege herhaaldelijke beschietingen sinds maart al niet meer.

In januari ondertekenden zestien landen en organisaties op een top in Berlijn een slotverklaring. Daarin was overeengekomen dat de ondertekenaars zouden stoppen met het leveren van wapens aan Libië. Volgens de Verenigde Naties komt een deel van de ondertekenaars die afspraak niet na.

Russia is caught in the global crisis and cannot escape its impact. The crucial question is how the Dmitri Medvedev-Vladimir Putin leadership will respond. Putin has presided over a steadily strengthening economy; he now appears ill-equipped to handle crisis and contraction. The signs are not encouraging. Trust and confidence, two essential ingredients vital to resolving any financial crisis, are in short supply. The public could pay a heavy price for the hubris and schadenfreude of their leaders, still ‘dizzy with success’ from years of economic revival and what they perceive as a successful reaffirmation of the country’s great power status.
