... In the 1800s it was already evident that the Earth's magnetic field was involved: auroral rays seemed to follow the Earth's magnetic field lines, and the frequency with which aurora was observed depended on the distance from the magnetic pole, not from the geographic one. ... That is the beginning of the ionosphere , a layer with enough free electrons (and ions) to play an important role in radio communications. ... The simplest atom is the one of hydrogen, with just one electron. ...

... STScI-PRC97-38a HUBBLE SEES SUPERSONIC EXHAUST FROM NEBULA M2-9 is a striking example of a "butterfly" or a bipolar planetary nebula. Another more revealing name might be the "Twin Jet Nebula." If the nebula is sliced across the star, each side of it appears much like a pair of exhausts from jet engines. ... The central star in M2-9 is known to be one of a very close pair which orbit one another at perilously close distances. ... M2-9 is 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Ophiucus. ...

... Astronomers of the SAO together with an international group of scientists have proposed an explanation to the long-standing mystery of why magnetic fields are more common amongst cool white dwarf stars than amongst young and hotter ones. ... As the result magnetic white dwarfs demonstrate excess in their frequencies in the temperature range below 14000K. The authors also show that the strongly magnetic white dwarfs are of the oldest stars of the Galaxy originated from intermediate-mass relic stars. ...
