That's one big girl! A baby born Friday in Germany is the country's largest-ever, at 13.47 pounds and 22.6 inches long. Baby girl Jasleen arrived July 26 at University Hospital in Leipzig. Though babies of her size are often delivered via caesarean section, Jasleen's mother gave birth vaginally.

Sargas (Theta Scorpii) is the third brightest star in the constellation Scorpius; its Sumerian name is of unknown meaning. Sargas is the most southerly bright star in the Scorpion, closely anchoring the southern curve of the scorpion's tail, and is invisible north of latitude 50Â° N. The star's southerly position has allowed northern observers to use its visibility as a test of the night-sky brightness near the horizon. Scorpius is filled with bright blue-white stars of class B. As a yellow-white giant F star, Sargas is again an exception. Though its equatorial rotation speed is high (over 50 times that of the Sun), the large size still gives it a fairly long rotation period of 10 days (or less).
