... The ancient chronical said about the colour rings around the Sun and the Moon, about three suns in the sky, light columns, bright lightning, different "comets" rushing to the Earth, moving among the stars or round the Earth with the sky. All these occurrences may be divided into three categories: one that occur in the near or far space, processes going on in the Earth atmosphere under the influence of cosmic factors and at last the occurrences connected with the Earth atmosphere. ...

Observing conditions were favorable at Arecibo July 5-15 2001, and observing time for both spectroscopy of 18-cm OH lines and S-band radar observations were arranged. The comet nucleus was observed to split into two pieces on April 30. ... Because the comet passed within 0.25 AU of the Earth in early July, when it was visible from Arecibo Observatory, it was fairly well suited to radar observation. ...

... Centaurus A : 15,000,000 light years away, in the constellation Centaurus, the closest AG to Earth . ... Astronomers think that the reason for the unusual shape of this galaxy is because hundreds of millions of years ago two galaxies, one dusty spiral and one bright ellipictal, collided causing a massive black hole in the middle and bright emmision of light. ... Andromeda galaxy: 2.8 million light years away, closest spiral galaxy to earth, farthest object one can see without a telescope. ...

... Interacting galaxies . ... Catalogues . ... We define a volume limited sample of over 14,000 early-type galaxies (ETGs) selected from data release six of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The density of environment of each galaxy is robustly measured. By comparing narrow band spectral line indices with recent models of simple stellar populations (SSPs) we investigate trends in the star formation history as a function of galaxy mass (velocity dispersion), density of environment and galactic radius. ...

. Comment on J0405+3803 . Our image contains a feature of 25 mJy at 14 mas E-NE from the brightest component. It is not visible in the Caltech-Jodrell (CJ) survey image at 5 GHz (Xu et al. 1995) obtained about 6 years earlier. The 1.6 GHz CJ image (Polatidis et al. 1995) does show an extended feature close to the position in question, but somewhat displaced toward west. VLBApls home page . Last modified: 16 Oct 2000

Dust around Herbig Ae/Be Stars: Porous, Cometary-like Grains? ... This brings up the question, which we try to answer here, of how the grain porosity affects the observational manifestations of the dust shells of HAeBe stars: the excess infrared emission, anomalous extinction in the ultraviolet, and the peculiar behaviour of colour indices and linear polarization during deep brightness minima observed for about 25% of HAeBe stars (UX Ori, WW Vul, etc). ...

Rosebud (Robert Burns) A rosebud, by my early walk Adown a corn-inclosed bawk, Sae gently bent its thorny stalk, All on a-dewy morning. ... So thou, dear bird, young Jeany fair, On trembling string or vocal air, Shall sweetly pay the tender care That tents thy early morning! So thou, sweet rosebud, young and gay, Shall beauteous blaze upon the day, And bless the parent's evening ray That watch'd thy early morning! ...
