... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Despite vast increase in our understanding of the evolutionary nature of planetary nebulae (PNe) during the last three decades, a central question remains: where is the missing mass? Theoretical evolutionary tracks predict that all stars with masses in the range 1.4-8 M Sun should become PNe. ... Clearly, much of the mass of the planetary nebula shell must remain un-ionized, and much of it may be in molecular form. ... The Magellanic Cloud PNe are ideal for this. ...

... Perhaps the most interesting satellites in this group are the ones sent into distant orbits, some of them extending well past the Moon--e.g. the WIND spacecraft pictured here. Among them is a long series of IMP s (Interplanetary Monitoring Platforms) which sampled the Earth's distant magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, and the surrounding interplanetary region; IMP-8 is still returning good data, more than 20 years after its launch. ...
