HIGHLIGHTS Astronomy highlights First obser vations of SNR 1987A at 12 mm (page 19) One of the principal scientific justifications for the 12-mm upg rade on the Compact Ar ray was to obtain higher resolution imag es of continuum sources, in particular for the radio remnant of the supernova SN 1987A. In October 2001, the first 12-mm image of SN 1987A was obtained using three Compact Ar ray antennas equipped with interim 12-mm receivers. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... I turned back to the Moon, and noticed a red glow to the sky. ... Figuring it was simply a high altitude cirrus cloud illuminated by the just-set Sun, we went back in. I logged on to my computer to check my email, and found one from a woman who had also seen the red glow, and asked me if it were an aurora. ... So when I do see something odd, I'll have to be careful lest I fall the other way, and think every red cloud is an aurora. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... The first attempt to produce a front-illuminated CCD with a thin electrode structure was the Virtual phase technology [Hynecek]. In this case, two of the electrode phases were removed, and the potential well in that area defined by a surface implant. Charge transfer was effected by pulsing the voltages on the remaining electrode alternately above and below the potential necessary to form the same surface potential as in the implanted phase. ...

... We have used a coupled dynamical and chemical model to examine the chemical changes caused by the passage of a density wave propagating into the protostellar cloud. ... The chemical coupling between gas and dust causes locally increased number densities of active ra dicals, such as C, N, O, NH, and OH, and hydrogen saturated molecules CH 4 , NH 3 and H 2 O. We show that chemical evolution in the post-wave gas can account for the observed abundance of water and NH 3 observed in interstellar clouds. ...
