The beta version of the third edition will cover every area of science fiction, including authors, illustrators, movies, music, games, and fanzines. The text will be completed, through monthly updates, by the end of 2012.
Key US lawmakers voted Thursday to kill off funding for the successor to the vastly successful Hubble telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope.
