Loved ones weep in front of the casket of a slain member of the Special Action Force who was killed in Sunday's clash with Muslim rebels during a service inside a police headquarters in Taguig city, south of Manila January 30, 2015. Philippine President Benigno Aquino urged legislators on Wednesday not to abandon a plan for autonomy for Muslims to end a decades-old insurgency after the clash in which dozens of people were killed, saying doing so would dash hopes for peace. A top official described the clash on Sunday, which shattered a three-year ceasefire, as a “misencounter” during a bid to arrest two militants who had taken refuge with Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fighters.

The galaxy is officially named Messier 51 (M51) or NGC 5194, but often goes by its nickname of the “Whirlpool Galaxy”. Like the Milky Way, the Whirlpool is a spiral galaxy with spectacular arms of stars and dust. M51 is located 30 million light years from Earth, and its face-on orientation to Earth gives us a perspective that we can never get of our own spiral galactic home. By using Chandra, astronomers can peer into the Whirlpool to uncover things that can only be detected in X-rays. In this new composite image, Chandra data are shown in purple while optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope are red, green and blue. Chandra X-ray Center is releasing a set of images that combine data from telescopes tuned to different wavelengths of light, as it celebrates the International Year of Light.

A grave digger works in the U.S.-built cemetery for “safe burials” on January 27, 2015 in Disco Hill, Liberia. The cemetery, operated by USAID-funded Global Communities, has buried almost 300 people in its first month of operation, with increasingly fewer of the bodies coming from Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs), as infection rates decline. The cemetery, where burial team members wear protective clothing, (PPE), has been seen in Monrovia as a major achievement, as families of deceased loved ones are permitted to view the burials, important in Liberian culture. In an effort to control the Ebola epidemic in 2014, the Liberian government had ordered the cremation of all deceased in the capital, often further traumatizing surviving family members and unintentionally encouraging many families to hide their dead for secret burials.
