A NASA-led team is studying the construction of a railway in space for a pair of telescopes that will provide views of planet, star, and galaxy formation in unprecedented detail. The proposed Space Infrared Interferometric Telescope (SPIRIT) mission will also examine the atmospheric chemistry of giant planets around other stars.

Finally, it was Europe's turn to take a giant leap into an unexplored world. After decades of running third in space headlines behind the U.S. and Soviet-Russian programs, the 15-country ESA last week captured center stage with the successful landing of the Huygens probe on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, after a seven-year voyage.
