... The most spectacular view however is from space, where large areas of aurora can be observed simultaneously, even the entire polar cap. ... Such pictures often show a continuous ring of aurora around the polar cap (picture above), caused mostly by electrons leaking out along magnetic field lines, from the plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetic tail. ... Field lines from the auroral oval are believed to lead to the plasma sheet. ... A near-Earth circular polar orbit has many uses. ...

. Hubble Space Telescope observations reveal a dust ring around Fomalhaut lies off-center from the star, thanks to the gravity of a yet-unobeserved planet. Astronomers imaged the ring by blocking the star's direct light, much as you can look close to the Sun by putting your thumb over it. NASA/ESA/UC Berkeley, P. Kalas/GSFC, M. Clampin

... The discovery of this radiopulsar is potentially important not only for confirming the theory of evolution of NS, but also for understanding processes occurring in stellar winds   from normal stars. After all, a radiopulsar orbiting in the semi-transparent stellar wind of a normal star is a sort of probe scanning an inhomogeneous plasma by pulsed radiation (Lipunov and Prokhorov, 1984)[ 110 ]. ... 1) absorption of radio waves (light curve); . ... This object is a radiopulsar orbiting a Be-star. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
