pine is a mail program developed at the University of Washington. It has easy-to-remember single character commands and a menu interface which displays those available at each point. You might choose to use pine if you like learning new tools by exploration rather than reading a manual. The menu system is designed to handle mistakes by new users, and the on-line help system offers advice specific to whatever screen you are currently viewing. Start using pine with the command: pine . ...

... The first three detectors we built employed lenses and image intensifiers, newer detectors have direct fiberoptic coupling and no image intensification. ... This detector is now being used to perform additional tests of x-ray converters, fiberoptics and CCDs (Nagarkar et al., ... The construction and performance of directly-coupled fiberoptic/CCD detectors is critically dependant on two technologies; x-ray-to-light converters, and the efficient coupling of the CCD to the fiberoptic taper. ... Noise....

These close-up images, taken by an electron microscope, reveal tiny one-cell organisms called halophiles and methanogens. In a two-year laboratory study, scientists subjected these organisms to increasingly lower temperatures to determine the coldest temperatures at which the microbes could survive and reproduce. The study shows the microbes could survive at below-freezing temperatures and are within the temperature range on present-day Mars. ... Maryland Astrobiology Consortium/NASA/STScI ...
