Astronomers examining the properties of black hole jets compared 54 gamma-ray bursts with 234 active galaxies classified as blazars and quasars. Surprisingly, the power and brightness of the jets share striking similarities despite a wide range of black hole mass, age, and environment. Regardless of these differences, the jets produce light by tapping into similar percentages of the kinetic energy of particles moving along the jet, suggesting a common underlying physical cause. ...

The infrared satellite IRAS. The main task of the IRAS telescope was the search of a longwave infrared radiation, composing the maps of the sky in the infrared range. IRAS telescope helped to discover new galaxies, to study the properties of the dust particles in our galaxy, which opens the character of a star hiding somewhere in the sky. ... For 6 months of observation it discovered 6 new asteroids, allowed to find out the nature of the dust zones between Mars and Jupiter orbits. ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the linear polarization of starlight due to extinction by aligned dust grains when the starlight traverses a medium with irregular magnetic fields. This medium is intended to represent the optically thick components of interstellar clouds which are observed to make little, if any, contribution to the polarization of starlight. ...
