NASA Teleconference: Hubble Results on the Galaxy's Heavy Stars
Astronomers will present new findings from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at a media teleconference on Wednesday, March 9 from 2 to 3 p.m. EST.
These findings have taken astronomers a step closer to understanding the star formation process and may provide the strongest evidence yet to support the notion stars have a weight limit.
Reporters should call: 888/694-8940; provide the passcode "Hubble." At the start of the briefing, images and graphics supporting the conference will be posted on the Internet at: http://nm-private.stsci.edu/inprogress/2005/050309Mediatelecon The system will prompt twice for username (figer) and password (arches).
