Space News: Ed Weiler, the salty, straight-talking astrophysicist who left NASA headquarters in 2004 to take the helm of the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center, is returning to Washington to replace NASA science chief Alan Stern, an equally straight-talking scientist who abruptly resigned March 25 after less than a year on the job.
