So what is "Code Blue" and what does it mean? It's no great secret that several years ago we had the mirror re-coated on the 31" Blue Beast at Warren Rupp Observatory, and within a few short weeks, portions of the coating began to fail. ... These are the fellows that showed up at the Observatory on February 20th to help with the gargantuan and nail-biting task of getting mirror out of the telescope safely, out of the cell safely, into the box safely, and put into the truck safely. ...

... The reduction system of observations FADPS (description in Russian) (Flexible Astronomical Data Processing System) for data of wide-band receivers of the first observation cabin of the radio telescope RATAN-600 had been created under the Unix-like operational system DEMOS for computers of the SM-1420-type (PDP/11) in 1987 for observation analysis and estimates of coordinates and flux densities of radio sources. ...

Fred Ewalt image: . I revisted my series of 5 raw images on SN1999gp. The attached UGC 1993 field image is the summation of five co-aligned and added one minute raw exposures (vice averaged, which was used for the processed image I submitted yesterday). ... The probable Foreground Star, SN1999gp and the Nucleus of UGC 1993 are all apparent in this field image. The second "Inset - A image", I blew up and normalized to the same pixel count as the field image. ... Back to 1999gp . ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...

... The ancient chronical said about the colour rings around the Sun and the Moon, about three suns in the sky, light columns, bright lightning, different "comets" rushing to the Earth, moving among the stars or round the Earth with the sky. All these occurrences may be divided into three categories: one that occur in the near or far space, processes going on in the Earth atmosphere under the influence of cosmic factors and at last the occurrences connected with the Earth atmosphere. ...
