... The March 20 total solar eclipse was visible over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. ... Solar eclipses are of interest for radio astronomy, as they make it possible to observe individual details on the solar disc (spots, filaments, flocculi, etc.) ... On March 20, 2015 the integrated observations of the solar eclipse were carried out at the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 70 wavelengths simultaneously in the range of 1.65cm to 10cm with the 1% frequency resolution. ...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and atomic lines are observed as interstellar absorptions in GALAH and other massive spectroscopic stellar surveys. By observing a given DIB toward many stars which are nearly in the same direction, but at different distances, one can reconstruct absorption sites along the line of sight. ...

Many "down-looking" satellites also carry out local observations, among them Polar, Viking, Freja and satellites of the GOES and DMSP series. ... Other explorers of the distant magnetosphere have included the three ISEE spacecraft (International Sun-Earth Explorers), Polar in an elliptical polar orbit with cameras observing the polar aurora, and Image observing energetic neutral atoms. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
