... Our recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (August 29, 2014) led to revealing a highly isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKs 3 situated at a distance of 2.12 0.07 Mpc from the Milky Way.

Over the last decade, about 30 dSph galaxies have been discovered inside the Local Group through systematic search in the vicinity of M31 and more that a dozen dSphs were discovered in the nearby group around M81. ...

... HTML defines six levels of headings. ...

... An international panel of experts led by NOAA and sponsored by NASA has released a new prediction for the next solar cycle. Solar Cycle 24 will peak, they say, in May 2013 with a below-average number of sunspots. ... Predicting the behavior of a sunspot cycle is fairly reliable once the cycle is well underway (about 3 years after the minimum in sunspot number occurs), but p rior to that time the predictions are less reliable. ...

... For high spectral resolution observations the devices permanently located at the N2 focus of the BTA are used (Klochkova, 1995, Panchuk, 1995). However for a number of tasks to be performed, it is needed to rule out the influence of the second and third mirrors, i.e. to realize the high spectral resolution ( ) directly at the prime focus. ... Examine the principal parameters of the PF echelle spectrometer, which is equivalent in spectral resolution to the CCD-equipped MSS (Panchuk, 1995). ...

General Forum Message . Forums: . ... The Telescope's F/number . ... The f/number (focal ratio) of any telescope tells two things about the telescope and that is it's intended purpose and it's photographic performance. The brightness of a star depends on the telescope's aperture not the telescope's f/number. ... The f/number of any objective lens or a mirror of a telescope has nothing to do with the visual brightness of an image, the bigger the aperture the better. ... www.astronomy.net . ...
