"It's funny that the IOC and some of the nations in the West, in particular Great Britain, New Zealand, Belgium, have all tried to pass what equates to gag orders on their athletes. You're not allowed to say anything bad about China, about the Olympics, about anything, even if there is a real legitimate problem because It seems that everyone is just cowering and doesn't want to offend Beijing.

Best known as a swan winging its way across the night, the constellation Cygnus is easily seen in the northern hemisphere's summertime sky. This new view of the Cygnus-X star-forming region by the Herschel Telescope highlights chaotic networks of dust and gas that point to sites of massive star formation. This image combines far-infrared data acquired at 70 micron (corresponding to the blue channel); 160 micron (corresponding to the green channel); and 250 micron (corresponding to the red channel). The observations were made on May 24, 2010, and Dec. 18, 2010. Herschel is a European Space Agency cornerstone mission, with science instruments provided by consortia of European institutes and with important participation by NASA.
