Physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have hurled electrons into related particles with all the energy that they could master from the 1960s up until the 2000s. They have made discoveries that won three Nobel Prizes and infused electrons with energy that could reach billions of electronvolts. But now Chinese scientists have used a much powerful tool that helps discovered something in the Crab Nebula that challenges previous theories.
High in the mountains of southwest China, a colossal facility picked up two showers of particles produced by a single high-energy beam of light, which is a gamma-ray, that they believe originated from the Crab Nebula.

Hubble Telescope in orbit around Earth.
The exquisite natural artistry that distinguishes each of Hubble s snapshots of the universe exposes the vast wonders of the space, and the myriad treasures that await humankind s exploratory journey into its depths. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. It is 13 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and weighs 11 tonnes. It has been observing cosmic structures with its on-board cameras for more than two decades.
The Hubble Telescope s discoveries have surpassed our expectations and impelled a greater understanding of the cosmos. We now have an age for the universe (13.8 billion years), and have discovered that it is expanding at an accelerating rate. Hubble has found that black holes reside at the center of most galaxies, extrasolar planets exist around many stars, and stellar nurseries and protoplanetary disks epitomize the nascencey of star systems such a

Little Old Canarsie
By John Denton
For many years, the late John Denton graced the pages of the Canarsie Courier with his column, Little Old Canarsie. Born here in 1899, Mr. Denton s knowledge of the area and memories of his life in Canarsie from the time he was a boy until he died at the age of 85 quaintly chronicled the early history of the community, from the era when there was nothing here but dirt roads, to modern times. So popular was Mr. Denton s column that the Canarsie Historical Society looked upon it as a byword and an authentic account of the life and times of our burgeoning community from the turn of the 20th Century to the present.
