On the other hand, Koreans, Japanese and to a lesser extent, Asian-Americans, are less happy in general, but recover their emotional equilibrium more readily after a setback than European-Americans. New Moth Variety Disarms Plants Guarded By Selenium

Astrophysicists have just discovered one of the strangest star explosions ever observed. The star that burst was massive -- 15 to 25 times greater than the mass of the Sun -- and was probably made up exclusively of carbon and oxygen. A brief flash of light had been observed two years before this rare cataclysm occurred. This precursor signal, which had never been seen before, raises hopes that astronomers will be able to "predict"explosions and observe stars as they enter the very last moments of their existence.
