Los Alamos National Laboratory and its downstream neighbors may have dodged a chromium bullet. If the latest analysis of the contaminant found in the regional aquifer is sustained, the chromium problem appears to be taking care of itself by natural geochemical processes. Full Story.
Structures and spectral variations of the outer heliosphere
The sky map was produced with data that two detectors on the spacecraft collected during six months of observations. NASA image.The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has obtained all-sky images of energetic neutral atoms emitted from the heliosheath, located between the solar wind termination shock and the local interstellar medium.
