... Take the air we breathe: its molecules have energies around 0.03 ev (electron volt--see energetic particles ) as fast as a cannonball, though still quite a bit slower than the typical satellite. ...

... 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. ...

The discovery of a correlation between the light curve shape and intrinsic brightness has made Type Ia supernovae exceptionally accurate distance indicators out to cosmologically interesting redshifts. ... But supernovae are relatively rare events. ... Type Ia supernovae make excellent distance indicators, so these events at high redshift can be used to map out the history of the expanding Universe. ...

... IC443 is thought to have been formed between 30,000 and 35,000 years ago, and most likely is the remains of the pulsar, G189.6+3.3.
