... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...

Fast deceleration of rotation of a magnetic star with a strong field HD 37776. 31 years of observations of the magnetic star HD 37776 resulted in detecting deceleration of its axial rotation for 17.7 0.7s (dP/P = 4.0x10 -6 per year). ... It is the first case of magnetic deceleration detection for a chemically peculiar star on the main sequence. ... Archive . ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... 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. ...

... A faint, dusty rose of the northern sky, emission nebula IC 410 lies about 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. The cloud of glowing hydrogen gas is over 100 light-years across, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. ... These "tadpoles" (seen just below center) are regions of denser, cooler gas, and more slowly resist the erosive radiation from the hot stars. ...

There are two modes to specify the time interval of ephemeris. ... This mode is applicable if the date of opposition belongs to the basic interval of 16 months from November of the year preceding to the title one to February of the subsequent one. In this case the ephemeris is centered at the nearest standard moment (its Julian day minus 0.5 is exactly divisible by 10) which precedes or coincides with the moment of opposition of minor planet in specified year. ...
