... 2000: . The images and maps of polarization for a massive protostar S140 IRS1, immersed in a dark molecular cloud were obtained at the 6-m telescope using speckle interferometry in the infrared 2.2 micron band. According to the structure of the flocky envelope around the nascent star it was found that the bright emission was caused by the reflection of radiation from the inner walls of the cavity formed by a powerful molecular outflow from the protostar. ...

Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ...
