Discovery captures telescope used to view stellar birth and death
Discovery's astronauts captured an ultraviolet telescope yesterday that spent nearly a week orbiting free of the shuttle and gazing at stars.
Commander Frank Culbertson Jr. eased Discovery to within 35 feet of the telescope and its reusable platform. Crewman Daniel Bursch grabbed the 3 1/2-ton satellite with the shuttle's robot arm as the craft soared over the South Pacific.
"Nice job," said Mission Control's Jay Apt.
"Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby," one of the crewmen replied. The five astronauts will bring the telescope home with them this week.
The $80 million telescope project, paid for largely by Germany's space agency, was designed to focus on stars in their genesis and others that are dying out.
Astronomers were delighted with the amount of stellar data collected by the telescope, which Discovery dropped off last Monday, even though a newly discovered nova was barely perceptible.
Scientists focused the telescope Friday night on the nova—a binary star explosion—even though they knew they might not see anything in the ultraviolet wavelength.

South Carolina wins Miss America
Miss South Carolina Kimberly Clarice Aiken was crowned Miss America 1984 on Saturday night after telling judges she would spend the next year working to help the homeless.
Aiken, 18, of Columbia, S.C., wept, laughed and jumped up and down after baiting out hopefuls from the 49 other states. She hugged outgoing lean Leanza Comette before walking down the runway to the song "There She Is."
Aiken, who sang a spine-tingling rendition of George Gershwin's "Summertime" during the talent competition, said she will use her year as queen to promote long-term solutions to homelessness. She said she has an uncle who lives in a shelter for the homeless in New York City.
"We sometimes donate food and clothing to homeless
shelters, but we never see what happens to them," said the University of South Carolina student, who wore a black fitted Spandex gown with a sheer bodice and sleeves.
"I've seen a lot of homeless people. I've worked in homeless shelters. It's something we all need to get involved in," she said.
A music and accounting student, Alken said she wants to work for the Internal Revenue Service.
The field of 50 contestants was narrowed to 10 then to five semifinalists late Saturday after two weeks of competition in swimsuit, talent, interview and evening gown competitions.
In addition to the title, the 1994 Miss America receives a $35,000 scholarship, a car and an estimated $200,000 in speaking fees.

Mother Teresa leaves hospital
Mother Teresa left a hospital yesterday after surgery to clear a blocked blood vessel, but her doctor said she had better wait two weeks before making her first visit to China.
After her release, the 83-year-old Nobel laureate demonstrated her recovery from the operation by climbing 50 steps to her quarters at Missionaries of Charity, a worldwide order she has set up for the poor.
But her personal cardiologist, Patricia Aubanel, ordered a two-week rest before the Roman Catholic nun goes ahead with her trip to China, where she plans to open a home for the handicapped.
"We have allowed Mother to go home as her condition is stable," Aubanel said. "She will be needing two weeks of rest at home. Only (then) can she go out."
Mother Teresa underwent a two-hour procedure Thursday to unclob a blood vessel in her heart. She has no chest pain and has recovered from malaria, for which she was treated last month in New Delhi. Aubanel said.
She was admitted to the B.M. Birla Heart Center a week ago.
Mother Teresa asked to leave the hospital so she could prepare for the China visit. She was invited by China's Social Welfare Department.
It was not immediately clear whether she will stick to her original schedule to travel there Oct. 7.
Mother Teresa won the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for dedicating her life to the world's poorest and the most destitute people.
