... Comet Tutorial . ... On July 1, 1993 an image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that clearly shows at least 15 individual fragments in one image frame of the train. ... This made an accurate orbit (or orbits) difficult to determine; however, after numerous observations of the comet, astronmers determined that the comet had passed within 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) of the center of Jupiter or 25,000 kilometers (16,000 miles) from the cloud tops during the July 8, 1992, approach. ...

... X-rays are made up of photons that are emitted from stars, or quasars, or supernovae, the sun, or simply: anything that is undergoing a change either in size or temperature or giving out heat. ... in an X-ray binary star system, in which one normal star's orbit is crossed by a neutron star, when the neutron star by means of gravitational pull takes matter from the normal star X-rays form. ... Artists conception of a normal star (HDE 226868) and a black hole taking matter from the normal star. ...

... After removal of foreground radio sources brighter than 10 mJy, using the Ryle Telescope, the resulting map shows evidence for residual structure on a scale of approximately half a degree with rms variation of 18 mJy. Multi-frequency measurements will be used in the future to discriminate between Galactic and cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) components of this anisotropy. ... The COBE satellite has already detected anisotropies at a level of on an angular scale of about Smoot et al. ...

The Solar spots - are the dark formations on the Sun's disk. ... The greatest observed spot is 100 thousand kilomiters. The spots are the places of the magnetic fields' getting out to the solar atmosphere. ... That's why they look so dark . ... The Solar convection zone is the layer with the thickness of 150 - 200 thousand kilomiters, situated under the photosphere; the substance of this layer being in convectional movement transformes the energy from inside the Sun's to its surface. ...

... The Stellar Oscillations Network Group (SONG) seeks to study p-mode (acoustic) oscillations in solar type stars. ... The observation of many solar-like stars will also help us to understand how solar p-modes are excited and damped. ... Naively, the two or three orders of magnitude improvement over this provided by the normal 1 second time resolution of the KPNO CCD cameras should be quite sufficient for such a detection. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...
