Welcome to X-Ray Astronomy at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama. This
page introduces the two main emphases of our work:
Chandra Project Science and Research in X-Ray Astronomy.
News and pictures of the Spring 2005 balloon campaign May 2005
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO), depicted at left, is the third of NASA's Great Observatories. Chandra is managed by MSFC. The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics operates the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center and the Education and Public Outreach site from Cambridge, MA.
|Abstracts and presentations from the 2003 September 4 Years of Chandra Observations Symposium, hosted by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, are available.
Chandra Project Science, led by the CXO Project
Scientist, Dr. Martin Weisskopf, and his team
provide scientific and technical oversight of all
aspects of the CXO development
a leading scientific role in the CXO Calibration , and
special studies and analyses as needed.
Chandra was launched from Space Shuttle Columbia on 23 July 1999. Chandra has since returned spectacular pictures and spectra of high-energy phenomena in astronomical objects such as that from the Crab Nebula shown at right. Here is the latest Chandra News from Marshall Space Flight Center Newsroom. Our own investigations using Chandra data include the Crab Pulsar and Nebula, SN 1993J and its host galaxy M81, and the cluster of galaxies Abell 1995. The signatures galaxy clusters leave in the cosmic microwave background is used to measure the age and geometry of the universe through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect.
Another aspect of our ongoing research at MSFC is the development of x-ray optics
& detectors in support of our balloon flight program and in preparation for
future space missions. The team is currently preparing for a balloon flight in of
the HERO hard X-ray focussing optics experiment. Check here for details and pictures of the Spring 2005
campaign. Read more about Marshall's High-Energy Replicated Optics focussing x-rays
up to 70 keV. The X-ray detectors are improved versions of the
Gas Scintillation Proportional
Counters used in past flights.
X-ray Astronomy Group personnel are involved in additional mirror development efforts, including support for future space missions The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) and the Micro-Arcsecond X-Ray Imaging Mission (MAXIM). Mirror and detector testing often utilizes MSFC's world-class X-Ray Calibration Facility (XRCF). Several X-Ray Detectors have been built and flown in the past.
The members of our group have adapted, to html format, a collection of our presentations on topics in x-ray astronomy of general interest and assembled many of our recent scientific papers in pdf format for those interested in the more technical aspects of our research.
The QDP/PLT homepage provides some documentation for this software.

There's an elephant in the room.
It is large and squatting, so it is hard to get around
it. Yet we squeeze by with "How are you?" and "I'm
fine" And a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.
We talk about the weather.
We talk about work.
We talk about everything else - except the elephant
in the room. There's an elephant in the room.
We all know it is there.
We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together.
It is constantly on our minds.
For, you see, it is a very big elephant.
It has hurt us all.
But we do not talk about the elephant in the room.
Oh, please, say her name.
Oh, please, say "Barbara" again.
For if we talk about her death,
Perhaps we can talk about her life.
Can I say "Barbara" to you and not have you look away?
For if I cannot, then you are leaving me
Alone...In a room...
With an elephant.

Q:Hi lush employees, my question for this product is is that this shampoo doesnt strip natural oils out of your hair? & my second question is is that does this shampoo have a lil moisture in it after u shampoo & condition your hair? cause my hair is frizzy, curly, & whenever i dont wash my hair that often it gets super oliyAsked on 7/23/2015 by Brenda16 from New york
1 answer
A:Squeaky Green is a super effective shampoo with greatly stimulating ingredients. Leave the moisture to your conditioner on this one.Answered on 7/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:Why is my hair falling with this? My scalp is also dry and itchy after using this twice? Anybody have the same experience?Asked on 5/24/2015 by juli from modesto ca
2 answers
A:I'd recommend halting using this product if you're experiencing any kind of irritation or discomfort. You're specific body chemistry might not be working well with this particular product so you might want to exchange it for a different shampoo bar. I'd recommend NEW! for it's scalp stimulating properties.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
A:It's a clarifying shampoo that may be too powerful for your skin/hair type.
If it persists, you probably should only use it when your hair is very oily
and dirty.Answered on 5/26/2015 by WVUJAK from Beckley
Q:Does this product come with the shampoo bar tin or would the tin need to bought separately?Asked on 3/18/2015 by VV from Prescott, AZ
4 answers
A:Our shampoo bars and shampoo bar tins are sold separately!Answered on 3/20/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct
A:You will need to purchase the tin separately.Answered on 3/18/2015 by WVUJAK from Beckley
A:The tin is separate, but the nice thing is that the tin is reusable, so you
only have to buy it once.Answered on 3/18/2015 by Anonymous
A:The tin does need to be purchased separately, and I highly recommend
putting the bar into some kind of container to keep it dry between uses.
It makes the bar last longer, and helps to avoid the bar getting "slimy."
However, if you do not want to purchase the tin, you can use a regular soap
travel container.
Happy Shampooing!Answered on 3/18/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Does this product help with dandruff?Asked on 10/17/2014 by Rachael
1 answer
A:This is a great product that reduces itchiness and dryness, so as a result less dandruff! The rosemary, nettle, and tea tree are invigorating oils great at cleansing and treating scalps affected by stress.Answered on 11/14/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Anyone ever use this as a body soap when traveling? I would like to take just one product with me instead of two! I usually take a shower gel that I also use on my hair, but I'd like to avoid traveling with liquids since I don't want to check a bag. Thanks!Asked on 10/8/2014 by MizTree from USA
3 answers
A:You can definitely use this as a body soap to save on liquids while traveling!Answered on 10/9/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I bought this to take with me when traveling abroad since I only pack a
carry on and I loved it. I bought the tin to go with it which was very
handy and I didn't have to worry about liquids in security checks. I used
it for both hair and body. It worked great for both and I came out of every
shower feeling clean and refreshed. I highly recommend it!Answered on 10/8/2014 by Anonymous
A:I don't have any experience with body soap, but I have been through several
airports with the Squeaky Green Shampoo Bar and it always clears in my
carry-on. Also, many of the restrictions have been relaxed on liquids
provided they are under 3.3 or 3.5 ounces, so I would suggest the Squeaky
Green in a travel tin and either the 3.3 oz Dirty Spring Wash or a Dirty
Bar in a travel tin or plastic case. Clean in two moves!

Q:What's with the sodium laurel sulfate? I thought we were all supposed to be avoiding sulfates. Also, what is the fragrance made out of that is the second ingredient?Asked on 5/29/2014 by N. from San Francisco, CA
3 answers
A:Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or SLS, is a surfactant that is naturally derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It acts as a foaming and cleansing agent and is used to remove oils and dirt. SLS is not the only foaming or dispersal agent available, but we consider it the best choice due to its decades-long history of safe use. Currently all of our shampoos contain SLS. The fragrance component is patented information. For this fragrance it is written in black and is therefore what we consider a safe synthetic.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:It smells like herbs (the good kinds) and with the sulfates don't worry it is a really good quality shampoo I really enjoyed it and it lasts so much Abu think you will to.
Sent from my iPodAnswered on 6/6/2014 by Anonymous
A:It's pretty light in lather and fragrance, regardless of the chemical
composition; it leaves the hair very clean and soft after rinsing. I know
that doesn't help much with the questions on sulphates, but I've notice my
hair feels clean and healthy since I have been using Squeaky Green. JAKAnswered on 5/30/2014 by WVUJAK from Beckley
Q:Would you recommend it for people who wear dreadlocks?Asked on 4/24/2014 by Badzito from Philippines
2 answers
A:We don't test our shampoos on dreadlocks specifically so it may or may not work. Before washing your whole head with Squeaky Green, maybe strand test it on the bottom of one dread and see how it reacts.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Anonymous
I don't have any practical experience with Dreads, but having, oily, short
hair; this product leaves the scalp feeling clean and doesn't make my hair
feel dense or weighed down after rinsing.
JAKAnswered on 4/25/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How long do these usually ask?Asked on 4/18/2014 by paigef
3 answers
A:If stored properly and left out of any running water, we estimate our shampoo bars last around 60-80 washes. Of course this is dependent on how much and how often you use them.Answered on 4/22/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I usually use more than one at a time but I would guess about 2-3 months
depending on how often you shower and how long your hair is.Answered on 4/18/2014 by Anonymous
A:With my pixie cut, I have barely made a dent in one bar over the past four
months. They last much much longer than a bottle of shampoo!Answered on 4/18/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Can you used this on colored hair? Will it wash out the color?Asked on 10/29/2012 by alyssa from usa
1 answer
A:Our shampoos are not tested on color treated hair, however, some shampoos are definitely better than others for colored hair use, Squeaky Green being one of them. It is best to stay away from products that contain stripping ingredients like fruit juices and salt.Answered on 11/7/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A Rockdale man has been indicted on charges of intoxication manslaughter for causing the death of an unborn child.
56-year-old Mark Allen Talley who was indicted January 17th, bonded out of jail the Milam County Jail on Tuesday after posting a $30,000 bond.
Rockdale police say Talley was first arrested at the scene of an accident in October 2012. Investigators say Talley was drunk and behind the wheel when he hit a woman who was six months pregnant.
According to witnesses, the woman was struck as she walked along the street pushing her twins in a stroller. The twins escaped injury, but the mother who was treated at Scott & White Hospital in Temple suffered severe internal bleeding and lost her unborn baby.

I spy the world through a camera lens. I wander the city peering through my iphone. Since discovering instagram, I have an entirely new outlook on my own city as if I am now standing on a mountaintop with the world spread out at my feet. I stroll through the streets at a snail's pace instead of my usual dash, stopping here and there, maybe much too often, to snap photos, capture images, capture the details of this city that I had long been seeing as a whole.
The mystery is gone. Or replaced with another, replaced with fascination. My everyday habits are no longer automatic reflexes, the city I traverse every day no longer a bundle of buildings standing tall, anonymously above the hard pavement and nothing more. I look up rather than always in front, look up and notice gorgeous detailing on buildings, statues in niches, swags of flowers, faces and animals carved into stone curving graciously, lightly over door tops. Slowed down, I look around and spy artwork, paintings, graffiti, sculptures, elegant, humorous, silly sneaking around me, waiting to be noticed, a city's playfulness awaiting my reaction. I peer in windows and see treasures; I pause in front of glass cases and see wonderful delicacies. I sit on terraces, camera poised, and notice individuals rather than masses of movement, crowds of the anonymous.
Spending a day in Paris with David and The One, visiting the market street of Rue Poncelet with her food shops open and spilling out onto the sidewalk, I saw and experienced the food I take for granted everyday through the eyes of visitors, visitors excited by the novelty, the picturesque beauty, the very Frenchness of what was offered. We admired the roasted chickens, we tasted terrine de foie gras, we breathed in the heady scent of a jumble of cheeses. We were dazzled by the brilliant colors of rows upon rows of fruits and vegetables dressed in violet, red, yellow and greens. We ogled the pastry in the neighborhood boulangerie as for the very first time, weighing the delight of chocolate versus fruit tarts, buying a baguette as a great treat. Not exactly "look(ing) at the world through the eyes of a child" but almost. A shopping trip with David, his own phone poised to capture every enticing image, I began looking at what I was surrounded with day after day in a new light, appreciating the abundance of fresh products piled high on market stalls or stacked elegantly behind glass windows.
Wondrous beauty like objects of art, I now wander through my own city's market and look carefully at each and every delicacy from glistening sausages and roasts decorated and wrapped like Christmas gifts, from golden apricots and fragrant berries, blocks of pale cheeses graced with ripples of black truffles like valuable ore in marble, to perfect rows of chocolate éclairs and fruit tartlets, powdery soft puffs of flour dusted and tossed over perfect oval gnocchi. The colors, the scents and odors, the shapes and textures pop out at me, offering a veritable feast before carrying home my treasures for degustation.
I now leave my home with my phone or camera clutched in my fingers, at the ready, my eyes peeled for each and every detail, unusual feature, the ordinary now seen as extraordinary. Through my iphone, I now see the magic in the world around me, the mysteries and enchantment in all that I have come to take for granted. And I am left enthralled.

WEST WILLIAMSON – The Williamson Fieldhouse will host another basketball game Wednesday night as the Mingo Central Miners will play host to River View in a makeup game.
The game was postponed because of inclement weather. Coach Brad Napier said that with the Mingo County Middle School tournaments being played at the MCHS gym this week and next, he needed a venue for a "home" basketball game. So the historic Fieldhouse is the answer.
The Miners (7-5) still have to reschedule road games with Herbert Hoover and Wayne, both Cardinal Conference matches.
Tug Valley will be very busy this week. The Panthers of coach Garland "Rabbit" Thompson will host Belfry on Thursday, Mingo Central on Friday and travel to Greater Beckley Christian on Saturday.
All three of those games are teams the No. 2 ranked Panthers have played this season. Belfry (9-6) defeated Tug Valley on their home court 80-76, so Tug Valley will be out for a little revenge.
The Panthers defeated Mingo Central 66-45 up on the mountain and GBC 74-61 at home earlier in the season. Tug Valley is now 12-3 on the season.
Belfry has a big home game with Sheldon Clark on Saturday night.
The recent snowy weather has forced the postponement and cancellation of several games by both the boys and girls teams in the area. (See the area schedule on this page for a rundown of games this week.)

NORTH AUGUSTA In a game where some of the states biggest offensive stars put on a show that will long be remembered, it was a sophomore junior varsity kicker that decided the final outcome.
Adrian Leon, who was called upon to handle the kicking duties when Gray Griffin injured his groin in pregame warmups, booted a 23-yard field goal with three seconds left to give Class AAAA No. 2 Lexington (7-0) a 59-56 victory over Class AAAA No. 4 North Augusta (6-1) Friday at Jackets Stadium in a game that lived up to the buildup.
Good things happen to good people who work hard, said Lexington head coach Scott Earley of the victory. This was, by far, our worst game, but when you come on the road and play bad and still win, thats a characteristic of a champion.
What I like about that kid is that he grew up tough and has ice in his veins, he added of the game-winning kick. I trust him with my life.
Both teams had chances to put the game away in the closing minutes.
Lexington celebrated what it thought was a game-changing interception with fewer than 90 seconds left on the clock when South Carolina commitment Shaq Roland intercepted Tyrell Hillary deep in Lexington territory, only to realize that North Augusta had called a timeout just before the play.
On the very next play from scrimmage, it was North Augusta that was celebrating when Vinny Miller took a screen pas from Hillary down the NAHS sideline and cut it back across the field for a 31-yard touchdown run that would have given the home team a touchdown lead with 1:12 to play. That play, though, was also brought back because of a holding penalty.
The play that finally did decide the back-and-forth contest came after North Augusta stalled out on its final drive, thanks to a pair of holding flags, and punted the ball to Lexington at the Wildcat 34-yard line. Four plays later, on a first-and-10 from the NAHS 41-yard line with 15 seconds on the clock, Lexington quarterback Will Hunter found Roland streaking down his own sideline, where he out-jumped Yellow Jacket defensive back Devin Grimes and hauled in an acrobatic catch 3 yards from the end zone with seven ticks remaining.
The officials ruled Roland had caught the ball in bounds but rolled out of bounds, stopping the clock.
Lexington took a delay of game and then brought Leon onto the field for the game-winning kick.
Hes one of the best receivers in the country, said NAHS head coach Dan Pippin. And he just made a big play at the end of the game. Hes a Shrine Bowl guy for a reason.
The frantic finish only added to the instant classic that saw two of the states best teams combine for 115 points and more than 1,000 yards of offense. North Augusta led 42-28 at halftime thanks to a Vinny Miller touchdown run in the first quarter and 35 second-quarter points. Tyrell Hillary connected with three different receivers for four second-quarter touchdowns he finished the game with 380 passing yards and five touchdown passes and Devin Grimes made what looked like it would be the defensive play of the game with a 17-yard touchdown return for a score.
Lexington quickly evened things out in the second half, though, scoring on a 71-yard drive on its second possession of the third quarter and then taking advantage of a Lance Cook interception of a tipped Hillary pass when Roland - who finished with 49 yards on the ground and 182 through the air took a sweep off tackle and cut it back across the field 34 yards for a score, tying the game at 42-all.
North Augusta pulled back in front when Vinny Miller scored on a 16-yard screen pass, picking up a key block from Jake Whitley on his way to the end zone, and the Jackets caught a break on Lexingtons next score when Leons extra point clanged off the upright, leaving North Augusta up one, 49-48.
Vinny Miller scored again, this time on a handoff, from 31 yards away with 5:41 left to play, but Lexington answered with an 8-yard touchdown run from Kevin Miller, and it tied the game when Hunter hit Jalen Cook on an out route for the 2-point conversion with 3:12 left to play.
That set up the exciting and controversial finish that will be debated in the days and weeks ahead in both communities.
It was a great high school football game, said Pippin, whose team was also hurt when it was flagged for a roughing the passer on what could have been a crucial fourth down stop in the second half but eventually ended in another Lexington touchdown. It was a high-scoring game. I cant say much, because Ill get fined if I say what I think. You dont want to see certain people be involved either way, and its not just my team.
We refused to lose, but it was a great game, Earley agreed. With the offense we run and the players weve got, we always feel like we have time to score.
North Augusta will try to get back on track when it travels to White Knoll (4-3) Friday.
Them cats there are probably the biggest overachievers in the state of South Carolina, said Earley, giving praise to the Jackets. Thats a good team thats going to be in The Little 32, and Goose Creek and Greenwood better look out.
Lexington, which now has the inside track on the Region 5-AAAA title with the win over the Jackets, will be at South Aiken.
Im glad we dont have to play them again, said Pippin, returning the praise. Thats a heck of a football team.

It's certainly mysterious -- Apple definitely mis-stepped with that letter. It seems like they've completely underestimated the demand for this stuff at every turn.
Rejected (Or Not?) - Have Any Devs Been Accepted?
Following up on the cryptic "I Hate You - Don't Leave Me" letters Apple sent out last week to many (all?) would-be iPhone developers who had coughed up the $99 for a certificate all signed and legal, Daring Fireball reports on whether or not anybody has made it in already:
I believe there are a small handful of developers who are sort of "in" already, but they were hand-selected by Apple. Perhaps, as with the ones who came on stage during the event to demo their "two weeks worth of work" apps, they were involved before the SDK was even officially announced.
But everything I've heard suggests that last week's email from Apple was sent to everyone who applied for the program. I.e., there are developers who've been let in through the back door, but no one has gotten in through the front door yet.
John Gruber goes on to quote two sources who've told him that Apple has received over 10,000 applications alone for the $99 package and couldn't meet demand for certificates this fast if it wanted to (and no one seems sure whether they do or not, nor how badly).
Massive over-reaction by the Twitterati? Yet another example of Apple's dwindling communications skills? And will we have to wait until the June (30th at 11:59pm?) release to know for sure?!

Figure Steve figured they'd sell a unit or two, maybe a third to Woz, and then go out for some mediation and water-gun sniping with Larry? :)
@Bri Guy:
Quoth the Jobs:
"We do no market research. We don't hire consultants. The only consultants I've ever hired in my 10 years is one firm to analyze Gateway's retail strategy so I would not make some of the same mistakes they made [when launching Apple's retail stores]. But we never hire consultants, per se. We just want to make great products."
Apple listens to the user base, right? $100 early adapter credits, Apple TV direct downloads, better mouses... er... oops!
I'm betting Apple uses the Net as the biggest, free-est, if most polarized focus group there is...
Not that it always works but I kind of like the way MS does it. Living in the Redmond area I've signed up for their usability studies where you fill out a survey of all of the different types of software you use including what type of smartphone as well as video games you play and consoles you own. Then when they have software that needs some testing they call you up and you come down and they ask you questions on how you would do certain tasks and sometimes they will have cameras tracking your eyes to see where on the screen you are looking. And the best part is they give you software for your time I haven't had to buy an OS or new version of office ever and of course getting to play games like halo3 and gears of war before they were released. But the down side is you can't talk about it to anyone ( I hope I'm not breaking my contract by talking about games that were released months if not years ago) But my point is MS might not always get it right but they are at least showing interest in how consumers are using their products.

Sprecher Slams High-Speed Electronic Exchanges
By Jim Zarroli
Originally published on Wed November 6, 2013 5:26 am
The CEO of the firm that's about to take over the New York Stock Exchange has criticized alternative market trading. Jeffrey Sprecher said equity markets, including the NYSE, allow sophisticated traders to take advantage of small investors. He added such models are destined to fail and that people outside the markets have a sense things aren't fair.
