Halo news back Monday, October 22, 2001 Halo news forward

Earth makes the shortlist
Daniel alerts us to the cover story in the current Scientific American; it should be interesting to Halo fans:

It describes a ring shaped area within/around the Milky Way galaxy which appears to be the only area containing planets capable of supporting any advanced life. The most interesting quote mentions that if an alien race were looking for a new home, Earth would be near the top on a pretty short list.
