When the Leonid meteor storm hits the Earth on 17 November, the Hubble Space
Telescope will be turned away from the onslaught to protect its delicate optics.
But the time will be put to good use. Teams from the University of New South
Wales in Sydney, NASA鈥檚 Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and
the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa have won a competition among astronomers
to use the space telescope while it is looking 鈥渢he other way鈥�. They will study
a quasar called PKS2200-238 and smaller galaxies that occupy the part of the sky
the telescope will be fixed on.
