We use statistical data giving the number of stars formed as a function of the age, assigned using the observed deterministic relation between chromospheric activity and age, to show that the temporal behaviour of star formation in the solar neighbourhood must have been chaotic during time intervals of less than 1 Gyr. We also offer evidence that

New high-resolution, high-sensitivity Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope Hi synthesis observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 3631 are presented. In the total atomic hydrogen map, the spiral arms are well distinguished from the interarm regions, while the sensitivity allows detection of Hi in all but a few isolated regions of the areas between the

Aluminous mare basalts are the dominant lithology at the Luna 16 landing site in Mare Fecunditatis. For trace element analysis by micro-INAA techniques, we selected 23 of the 52 Luna 16 basaltic soil fragments studied by Kurat et al. (1976) and used a microcoring technique to extract microgram-sized samples from grain mount thin sections
