    I heard on the news that the inhabitants of Sydney, Australia, minutes
    before the beginning of the third millennium, there was this bright light
    in the sky.  And noise.  One inhabitant thought his neighbor's house had
    exploded.  Anybody else hear about this?
    
    Speaking of Sydney, has anyone visited the Buran space shuttle on display
    in Sydney, Australia?  I'd like to hear from anybody whoose seen it.  It
    would cost me around 1500 US dollars to see it - and most of that is
    transportation costs.  Is it worth that much money?
    
    Also, I'm having some trouble visualizing deuterium ("heavy hydrogen"). 
    What is its atomic composition - how is it different than normal
    hydrogen.  Everything I read about the subject doesn't make any sense to
    me.
    
    Thanks!
