Dragging Space=A0
When Earth turns on its axis, everything on its surface and in the skies
above it gets pulled along for the ride. That's because they're held in
place by gravity.
But the ride doesn't end at the fringes of the atmosphere. Earth's
gravity also pulls along space itself.
Albert Einstein's theories of relativity describe gravity as a warp in
the fabric of the universe. This effect was first observed during a
solar eclipse in the early 20th century. Astronomers measured the
positions of stars that popped into view near the Sun. The positions
were off by a tiny amount from what they should have been. That's
because the Sun's gravity bent the light from the more-distant stars,
making them appear to shift position by a tiny amount.
Relativity also suggests that any rotating object should twist the space
around it -- an effect called frame-dragging.
Astronomers have seen this effect in massive, compact objects like black
holes.
Earth's gravity is MUCH weaker than that of any black hole, so the
effect is tougher to measure. But a few months ago a team of scientists
measured it by carefully tracking the positions of two satellites. They
found that Earth's effect on the space around it pulls the satellites
forward by about six feet per year -- just what Einstein's equations
would predict.
Another satellite should provide a better measurement of the effect,
giving scientists a better understanding of our planet's "draggy"
gravity.

What is the Sun's place in the Milky Way?=A0
The Sun and our solar system lie in the "thin disk" of our galaxy -- the
collection of younger and middle-aged stars that forms the familiar
spiral arms of the Milky Way. We lie in a band called the Orion-Cygnus
arm, about 27,000 light-years from galactic center and 20,000
light-years from the outer edge.

Phoebe=A0
In Greek mythology, Phoebe was one of the Titans -- the giants who ruled
the world before the gods of Olympus. Her name means "brilliant."
Phoebe might not feel too honored by a solar-system object that bears
her name: one of the moons of Saturn. It's small and dark -- and it may
darken the faces of a couple of other moons as well.
Phoebe is almost 35 times farther from Saturn than our moon is from
Earth. It's only about 130 miles in diameter. And it's as dark as
chimney soot.
These bare facts don't paint a very interesting picture of Phoebe. But a
couple of other items are a little more intriguing.
One is that Phoebe orbits Saturn in the opposite direction from its
other major moons. That may mean that Phoebe started out as an asteroid,
but was captured by Saturn's powerful gravity when it passed close to
the planet.
Another is that some of Phoebe's dark material may coat the surfaces of
two other moons, Iapetus and Hyperion. Meteorite impacts may blast some
of Phoebe's surface material into space, where it falls on to the two
other moons, which are closer to Saturn.
So far, our best views of Phoebe are from Voyager 2, which photographed
the moon from more than a million miles away. But the view is about to
get a whole lot better. The Cassini spacecraft is scheduled to sweep
within about 1300 miles of Phoebe tomorrow -- the craft's first close
encounter in a four-year exploration of the Saturn system.
