... A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, billions of stars shone brightly. ... In the photo you can see that the colour of the galaxy is different in the centre and the outer regions. The galaxy looks more yellow and orange towards the centre (astronomers say it is reddish ), while it is blue in the outer parts. ... But when you look up to the night sky, why do most of the stars look white, rather than a dazzling variety of colours? ... So we are only looking at these stars in black and white! ...

He said it was close to Polaris, the North Star, but he also said it was in the East. ... It's natural, I suppose, to think that such an important star should be bright, but really, that's a conceit, like thinking that the Earth is at the center of the Universe. If more people knew just why Polaris is the North Star, this Bad Idea would stop. ...

... From Terry Moseley, IAA: "There will be quite a rare event on 3 August, when Jupiter will occult the 6th magnitude star 45 Capricornii, at about 23.50 BST (the exact time depends on your location). The star is one of the brightest that Jupiter will ever occult during our lifetimes, so this will be interesting to watch, and video. ... Tuesday, 28 July 2009 00:55 .

Mal Ruderman (KIPAC, Stanford) . What do we see when we look at the surface of a neutron star from a great distance? ... The new point that is made is a consequence of near-relativistic electron-positron flows expected in the near-magnetosphere's of "young" (not older than about a million years) neutron stars. Because of cyclotron resonance scattering by these pair-flows on surface X-ray and UV emission, we do not see unprocessed suface emission. ...

Various types of stars have dust around them. In the well known case of the Pleiades the dust around the stars is unrelated to the stars, and is instead dust from an interstellar cloud that the Pleiades cluster has drifted into on its way through the galactic disk. ... The dust in interstellar space is observed in a variety of ways: due to its passive absorption of starlight ("extinction"), by its production of polarization in starlight, and then at long wavelengths due to its thermal radiation. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
