... They cover a period of 4 days in which the Supernova continues to rise in brightness (what astronomers call magntiude). ... First Image Taken on March 11 at 8:22 UT. Second Image Taken on March 12 at 8:52 UT. ... The supernova is the same brightness as in the previous image taken 2 hours ago . ... This image, taken 24 hours after the previous image, shows the supernova to be another 0.21mag (or about 25%) brighter. ...

The spherical aberration affecting the HST primary mirror (Burrows et al. 1992) can seriously alter the core brightness profile of elliptical galaxies. ... In this paper we test the performance of deconvolution in recovering the original surface brightness profile in the case of elliptical galaxies observed with the HST Planetary Camera (PC). ...

This is a portion of a Cassini radar mapper image obtained by the Cassini spacecraft on its December 21, 2008, flyby of Saturn's moon Titan. The area shown covers the southern boundary of an equatorial band where longitudinal dunes (dunes that form along the wind direction) are pervasive. ... In the lower part of the image there are no dunes at all, and the texture is more typical of featureless plains observed in many other areas of Titan that lack dunes. ...

... Since moonshine is really reflected sunlight, the full Moon is on the average slightly brighter in mid-winter, when Earth is closest to the Sun. In addition, the distance of the full Moon also varies, due to the ellipticity ("eccentricity") of the Moon's orbit. On 22 December, 1999, the two effects combined to produce the brightest full Moon of the century. ... This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22nd, commonly called the first day of winter. ...

... The explosion of a star as a Supernova is certainly one of the most energetic events observable in the whole universe, and their radiation covers the whole band from radio to gamma-rays, accompanied with neutrino emission. ... Type Ia SNe are supposed to result from mass transfer inside a binary system consisting of a white dwarf star and an evolving giant star, which results in a termonuclear explosion. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
