European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 16, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 4 the e stars and stripes Hubble shows its Washington apr the Hubble space Telescope can t look to the Edge of the universe until its vision is corrected but it is beginning to give scientists unprecedented views of celestial objects closer to Home. Nasa released the first such photograph monday a detailed look into a prolific Star forming area clearly showing 60 stars in an area once thought to have Only a single massive Star. A the picture has exciting scientific Content and demonstrates the Hubble space Telescope is very much alive a said de we incr the Nasa scientist in charge of the project. Ruthc picture was made aug. 3 of a Star Cluster called 30 Dora us located in the Constellation Dorado the swordfish an area in the Southern hemisphere known As a Star Nursery. The duster is believed to be 160,000 to 170,000 years old a baby in a universe 10 billion to 20 billion years old. In the photograph each of the stars had a fuzzy Halo caused by the flaw in making the telescopes mirrors. A computer then took out the halos producing a much crisper image of the stars. Quot the Star forming Region of 30 Dora us is probably the most prolific area of Star formation certainly within several million Light years Quot Weilor said. A in the Early 1980s, astronomers studying this object thought it was just a single Star but a truly super massive Star a he said. Later in the decade ground based telescopes resolved the Light into 27 still massive objects. But Weiler said the Hubble image clearly shows at least 60 stars so close together that they would fit into the area Between the Sun and Alpha cd Tauri which at a distance of four Light years i s the c Sta r closest to of r Sola r system. Rick while associate astronomer with the space Telescope science Institute said the image is 10 times better than the average picture from the ground. White said although computer restoration of the image helped it could not rectify the $ 1.5 billion telescopes shortcomings. A you can to go Back to the original image you would have had without the error in the Mirror a while said. A but what you can do is get images that have the full Fine Resolution that the Hubble Telescope would have had and that the Telescope Sti 11 docs have a a the telescopes wide Field camera and other instruments Are expected to be fitted with corrective tenses Early in 1993.

A the door is open for everyone to talk Quot the former president said in the interview held in an apartment in the upper East Side one of new Yorkus most exclusive neighbourhoods. The criticism will Lead to a reformation of the party s policies and objectives with an Eye on the country s next elections in 1996, Ortega said. He already acknowledges that the sandinista committed several errors which sent Many nicaraguans Over to the Side of  Contra rebels who fought for almost a decade to overthrow the leftist government at a Cost of some 40,000 lives. In the Days after the sandinista toppled Anastasio Somoza in july 1979, the dictators supporters a called so Meistas a were the principal targets of land expropriation. By hastily taking property away from Large landowners and redistributing it to the poor some landowners were unfairly targeted Ortega said. Quot some landowner to were affected who weren to precisely so Meistas a Ortega acknowledged. A the urgent demand for land made us act in a Hasty Way giving a very negative impression to Rural people Quot he said. Quot this gave the contras the Opportunity to say sandinista want to take land away from . Ortega said the sandinista also mistreated the miskito indians who opposed the government and were forcibly removed from their homelands in northeastern Nicaragua in a massive relocation program in the Early 1980s. The miskito and other Indian tribes joined the contrast armed resistance to Sand Ortega Minista Rule largely because of the relocation program. Ortega appeared relaxed during the 45-minute interview held in an apartment of a Friend of his former foreign minister a Miguel do Escoto a w to also came on the trip to the new York. Ortega who robbed Banks in his Early teens to get Money for the anti Somoza insurrection and later became one of the sandinista so leaders almost wept when he announced his electoral defeat last february. Now he appears comfortable in his role As Leader of Nicaragua a biggest and Best organized opposition party Quot its unprecedented for a revolutionary who fought a dictatorship with weapons to later win Power and then become the opposition. Within a democratic context that he himself helped create Quot he said. A so i think this is a Rich experience Quot the sandinista have organized two strikes since president Violeta Chamorro was inaugurated april 25, Imp riling her new government and raising fears that the sandinista would try to wrest Power away from her. ,. Ortega insisted in the interview As he has in the past that the Chamorro administration Confer with the sandinista on matters of economic policy. The sandinista who control powerful labor unions say the governments strategy in reviving the nations bankrupt Economy places Loo much of a Burden on the workers. A if there is no dialogue  be a lot of strikes a Ortega warned adding that dissidents have the right and the duty to organize to oppose government policies they disagree with. However Ortega said the sandinista have no intention of regaining Power forcibly. A in no moment arc we in favor of assuming control of the government using non constitutional Means Quot he said. A if we Are going to return to running the government of Nicaragua it will be through  he said it was too Early to Tell if he will be the sandinista s presidential candidate. Ortega came to new York this week to maintain ties with supporters Here a he gave a speech in a Church monday night to 2,500 people a and to Contact publishers for a Book he plans to write. The Book might be a work of fiction based on fact he said drawing on his own  in womb it seems babies enjoy a Story Boston apr mothers to be who try to put their children on the fast track by talking to them in the womb May be on the right track. Studies have found that starting in the womb babies recognize speech As a special sound and distinguish Between spoken passages said Anthony Decasper. A psychology professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Decasper described research involving women who were in their 32nd week of pregnancy which normally runs 40 weeks. Researchers asked the women to recite a particular paragraph of a Chil Drens Story three times in a Row each Day until the birth. Three different passages were used but each Mother recited Only one. About 52 hours after birth the babies were Given a special nipple and earphones. By altering their rate of sucking they could choose to hear a woman reciting either the Story their mothers had recited or one of the other stories. 1 hey chose the familiar Story de Casper said. We re talking about recognition of linguistically relevant speech sounds Quot he said. Quot the implication is that fetuses heard perceived listened and Learned something about the acoustic Structure of american  in another study 24 newborns were exposed to the sound of a heartbeat or a woman speaking Decasper said. They were Able to choose which ear would hear the sound by varying the frequency at which they sucked a pacifier. Babies chose to hear speech in the right ear and the heartbeat in the left ear showing that they were already processing speech differently from other sounds Decasper said. A what it shows is at birth there is some knowledge of the language of the culture a said Decasper who spoke in a presentation and an interview at the annual meeting of the american psychological association. Mriganka sur of the department of brain and cognitive science at the Massachusetts Institute of technology said the idea that fetuses process speech sounds Quot makes a lot of sense to  it reflects specialization in the brain s two halves called hemispheres he said. That probably is driven by genes although the experience of hearing speech before birth May also play a Rote he added
