... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... The formation of multiple images of a distant quasar by the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy may be very simply, and faithfully, accounted for by a wine glass experiment. Figure 1. In the wine glass experiment, a bright compact light source (at the top of the photo) serves as a distant quasar. The wine glass on the table distorts the light rays from the "quasar" and produces a caustic having with a triangular shape (see enlargement in Figure 3 ). ...

... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...
