A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

We present a time-lapse sequence of 20 near-infrared ( J and K band) snapshots of the central 20 20 of the Crab pulsar wind nebula, taken at subarcsecond resolution with the Hokupa`a/QUIRC adaptive optics camera on the Gemini North Telescope and sampled at intervals of 10 minutes and 24 hr. It is observed that the equatorial wisps and polar knots in the termination shock of the pulsar wind appear to fluctuate in brightness on kilosecond timescales. ...

... 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. ...

Properties of the Solar Eruptive Event of 19 October 2001, 09:40 UT . ... 1) IZMIRAN, Troitsk, Moscow Region, 142190 . ... Basing on IZMIRAN and NIRFI radio observations, we analyze an event which is characterized by sufficiently intense emission in the cm- and dm-ranges under almost total lack of metric bursts. This peculiarity appears to be caused by very slow speed (V~240 km/s) of a coronal mass ejection (CME) recorded in this event with SOHO/LASCO. ... Coronal Mass Ejections . ...
