... 2008 September 24 . Active Region 1002 on an Unusually Quiet Sun . ... Explanation: Why has the Sun been so quiet recently? ... Our Sun has shown few active regions -- that house even fewer associated sunspots -- for over a year now, and such a period of relative calm is quite unusual. ... Visible above, this region, dubbed Active Region 1002 (AR 1002), was imaged in ultraviolet light yesterday by the SOHO spacecraft , which co-orbits the Sun near the Earth. ... About APOD | ...

... Star formation requires interstellar clouds that are cold and dense enough for self-gravity to overcome internal pressure from gas thermal motions and other factors, thus leading to cloud contraction and eventual collapse to stellar densities. ... Absorption has all of these parameters plus one more describing the fraction of the emission (p) that is behind the absorbing cloud. ... Obser ving Interstellar Hydrogen Clouds Clouds in the ISM can produce either emission or absorption spectra. ...

FEATURES OF THE HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION AROUND LUNAR CRATERS PROCLUS AND KEPLER. ... In result of analysis of the data Lawrence and Feldman constructed the hydrogen distribution on the lunar surface [1]. ... However, the authors shown, that EN flux data features may be explained by other element abundance in the lunar soils, namely: Si, Ca, Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm) and Fe. ... Using of the Feldman's interpretation of the Lunar Prospector data [8], we constructed hydrogen distribution map (Fig.1). ...

... June 25, 1996 . A Star Forming Region in the LMC . ... Explanation: Stars sometimes form in colorful ways. Pictured above is a small region in the nearby LMC galaxy where stars are forming. ... It may develop a strong wind which pushes away nearby gas ; it may be so hot and intense that emitted light boils away nearby dust and gas , and it may be so massive that it soon goes supernova and catapults its elements back to the interstellar medium . ...

Dimmings or transient coronal holes (i.e. regions of decreased intensity of soft X-ray and EUV emission), which are observed on the solar disk after halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are analyzed using SOHO/EIT data simultaneously in three coronal lines Fe IX/X (171 A), Fe XII (195 A) and Fe IX (284 A) sensitive to temperatures Te~1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 MK, respectively, as well as in the transition region line He II (304 A; Te~(0.02-0.08) MK). ...

In the regular experiments carried out with the RAS radio telescopes at Pushchino during 1999-2002, the study of the radial dependence of scattering of compact natural radio sources was extended to remote regions of the solar plasma environment. ... The stream in the transalfvenic region displays the same typical radial structure as observed in the transonic region, i.e., the existence of a "precursor" - a narrow band of reduced scattering preceding a wide region of enhanced scattering. ...

Galaxies are diffuse objects which are imaged against a background of finite brightness and noise. Galaxies which have the maximum contrast with respect to this background are the ones that are first discovered. ... These galaxies have been missed to date but active surveys for them are underway. ... In this page we present several examples of these newly discovered Low Surface Brightness galaxies as well as examples of high surface brightness galaxies. ...

The period of this variable was first determined by Tony Vanmunster (Center of Backjard Astrophysics). We have taken the observations with CCD ST-7 and 60-cm reflector of SAI Crimean station. ... The longest set was taken at night of 2000 February 12 including 291 R 60 second long frames with the magnitude limit of 18. Summing all these frames in a single one I have taken a "deep sight" of this region having the limit of 21.7R. The effective exposition is 4 h. 51 m. Look at this frame! ...

... The lava flow has visibly fewer impact craters than the background terrain, illustrating the general principle that crater numbers can reveal ages of surfaces. ... Dating Small Martian Features . ... The crater-counting system that scientists have used since the 1970s to determine the age of large geologic features on Mars will also allow them to date small features, such as riverbeds and lava flows, according to William K. Hartmann, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute...

The highlighted region of this area of Planck data shows the position of a small patch of the sky that was observed with two ground-based experiments at the South Pole, BICEP2 and the Keck Array, and yielded a possible detection of curly B-modes in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the most ancient light in the history of the universe. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...
