AP Photo - In this picture obtained
from the Iranian Students News Agency, ISNA, scientists surround a
monkey ahead of a space launch in an undisclosed location in Iran. One
of two official packages of photos of Iran's famed simian space traveler
depicted the wrong monkey, but a primate really did fly into space and
return safely to Earth, a senior Iranian space official confirmed
Saturday. One set of pictures showed a relatively dark-haired monkey.
Another showed a different monkey, the one shown in this photo, strapped
in a pod, that had light gray hair and a distinctive red mole over its
right eye. State TV pictures seen by AP show the dark-haired monkey
before and after the space flight, but a package of still pictures
released by authorities showed the above monkey with the mole.
