Top Row] . ... The quasars (powered by supermassive black holes) are so compact and bright they make a diffraction-spike pattern in the telescope's optics an optical artifact typically only produced by bright nearby stars. ... Bottom Row] . When the glare of the quasar is subtracted, researchers see evidence for collisions between galaxies. The collisions and mergers gave birth to the quasars by fueling the supermassive black hole at the core of the galaxies. ...

... Here are some tips on how to get the best guiding out of our current system. ... NA2 Guider Tips . ... Optical double stars, late-type galaxies, and bipolar PNs may pose a problem for guiding, as will objects where you desire to observe a position away from the bright center (e.g., SNs near bright galaxies). ... Field Star is good if your object is too faint or asymmetrical for Boresight guiding, or if you need the slit to be off-center. ... Use Field Star guiding almost always. ...

... 9a. Earth orbits Sun? . ... 10a. Scale of Solar Sys. ... If the mean distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 AU ("Astronomical Unit"), then that of Venus is 0.723 AU, of Mercury 0.387 AU and that of Mars is 1.524 AU. ... By noting (1) where on the Sun's disk is the crossing seen, (2) timing its duration at two far-apart points on Earth, and (3) comparing the times, one can calculate the distance to Venus and from it the scale of the solar system. ... One occurred in 1639--too early. ...

So as a thought experiment, let's imagine that instead of having our matter transporter actually move matter, what it moves is information. ... That will make it necessary to move the matter to move consciousness. ...

... Bright eastern skies, White cliffs arise, See the new day break, Fisherman awake, Small boats fall and rise, To the fishers' cries, See the dories coming, Pray for herring running, In the day's bright sun, See the net-lines run, See the long lines flowing, Deep in Forth they're going, See the net-lines hauled in, Light loads are trawling, Run the nets once more, Off the cold Fife Shore, Turn again to ...

... My mother had a 'star named for me' with the International Star Registry (henceforth ISR) as a gift for this Christmas. ... On the back of the chart, a sticker described the precise location and visual magnitude of the star, taken from the Hubble Guide Star Catalog. The first thing I noticed, was the chart was Epoch 1950. ... The coordinates were also exactly those on the ISR sticker, so I now knew that even though the ISR chart was epoch 1950, the coordinates on the sticker were epoch 1983. ...

... Luminosity (L) · · · · A source's luminosity is the power that it emits in radiation. ...
