SOUTH POLE STATION
Just days before the official start of the International Polar Year--and 50 years after 18 men first wintered at the South Pole--scientists collected the first test observations from a massive new telescope.

A GALACTIC CATACLYSM
Every 20 million years or so, gas pours into the galactic center and sets off bursts of star formation. The larger stars soon go supernova, blasting the surrounding space and sterilizing it. NSF based this animation of such a cataclysm on research carried out by astronomer Antony Stark, using the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST / RO).

SCIENCE AT THE POLES
Liesl Schernthanner, South Pole winter site manager and Denis Barkats, science leader at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, describe the search to confirm theories of the origin of the early universe, the long commute to the South Pole and other aspects of life during the six-month winter at the Earth's most remote research station. The interview was produced for a daylong seminar held in Washington D.C. in May 2006 by the French and Italian embassies.
