# THE BIGGEST THING IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. NASA's durable Galileo spacecraft
  is joining up with Saturn-bound Cassini on a mission to study Jupiter's
  magnetosphere -- the biggest thing in the solar system. How big is it? If
  Jupiter's magnetosphere were visible, it would LOOK larger than the Sun or
  Moon in spite of its great distance from Earth. Also: plasma wave sounds
  were recorded by Galileo in 1996 as it sailed past Jupiter's largest moon
  Ganymede.  Galileo will swing past Ganymede two more times before the end
  of 2000. Cowabunga!

# 1.5 mln Muslims crowd into Grand Mosque. MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) Despite

  pilgrimage to holy sites in Saudi Arabia, the prayer leader urged pilgrims
  to be "kind, gentle, patient and tolerant to other pilgrims while they are
  performing the rituals." But to no avail - frantic pilgrims pushed their
  way out of the mosque, sending many elderly men and women to the ground.

# Brains grow furiously. (AP) - Children's brains change dramatically in key
  areas into puberty, says a new study that contradicts some long-standing
  assumptions about brain development. The anatomical changes - described as
  "fine-tuning" - surprised scientists doing the study. The changes occurred
  between ages 3 and 15, in some cases years after the brain has reached its
  full size. Scientists had believed that neural development slowed after
  the first few years of life, and the brain was essentially organized by
  the time a child enters first grade. In fact, they said, even in the mid-
  teens the amount of gray matter in some very active areas can double.
