Science under the northern lightsPosted by Banyue, March 12, 2008 6:31 PM
The photo on the cover of today's Changjiang Daily shows Huanghe Station, China's first scientific surveying station at the North Pole, as northern lights dance in the sky. According to the article, the paper's photographer waited several days to take the shot, and the beautiful image will be featured on a post card. Yesterday afternoon, the government's restructuring plan was submitted to the National People's Congress for further discussion, and details about the long-awaited "super ministries" finally met the public. Most newspapers, including the Wuhan-based party newspaper Changjiang Daily, featured this as a top headline. Other headlines: • The American space shuttle Endeavour launched successfully yesterday. It is carrying cargo for the International Space Station. • Snow storms and the Spring Festival pushed China's CPI to an 11-year high of 8.7% in February.
