But there would still be questions about Britain's role and legacy in Iraq, unresolved by two earlier inquiries. The 2003 Hutton Inquiry restricted its gaze to the circumstances around the death of a British official named David Kelly, who had criticized the government's dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

...European Space Agency's (ESA) twin telescopes, named Herschel and Planck, are being carried on an Ariane 5 launcher to take up a vantage point 930,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth.
