DETECTION OF CALCIUM ON THE MOON
During the Lunar commissioning phase, SMART-1's payload already produced
interesting science results. Taking advantage of a solar flare, the D-CIXS
instrument detected the calcium element on the lunar surface by X-ray
fluoresence, along with aluminium, iron and silicon.

SUPERNOVA REMNANT MENAGERIE [HEIC0507]
A violent and chaotic-looking mass of gas and dust is seen in this Hubble Space
Telescope image of a nearby supernova remnant. Denoted N 63A, the object is the
remains of a massive star that exploded, spewing its gaseous layers out into an
already turbulent region.
