First Full Science Results From Herschel 22

davecl writes "Today the first full science results from the Herschel Space Observatory were released, including results ranging from the formation and evolution of galaxies to the detailed physics of star formation. Details can be found from The European Space Agency, the BBC, and the Herschel mission blog that I help maintain. Briefer reports, covering rather more of the science, can also be found under the #eslab2010 hashtag on Twitter."

    Uh, nooooo, that's fire, one of the four fundamental elements. The match is earth, demonstrating how earth begets fire. Water quenches fire, yet fire also requires air and water both begets air and air begets water. This is the great mystery of the elements, and is precisely why Herschel was launched. It has already imaged large amounts of fire, earth, and water! The role of air in the cosmos is yet unknown, but hopefully this 'new phase of water' is a clue.

    Correct, they are being phased out, much like pennies should be.
