... WFC3 Data Handbook > Chapter 6: Charge Transfer Efficiency (CTE) > 6.1 CTE Losses And Background . ... CTE Losses And Background . ACS/WFC has spent more than twice as long in space as WFC3/UVIS (12 years versus 5 years as of Cycle 21), yet in some ways the CTE losses in WFC3/UVIS have become more severe than those in ACS/WFC. ... At first it was unclear why this was the case, but we have been able to trace it to the basic fact that CTE losses are worse when the background is extremely low. ...

A quite amazing and extensive aurora was visible from Northern Ireland during much of last evening and into the early morning. Astronomers at the Armagh Observatory were occupied for much of the evening in recording observations and taking photographs of the spectacular display. The display was first seen when twilight ended as a prominent blue glow in the northeast. About 15 minutes later, at around 7:00 pm, a green aurora could be seen in the northeast. ...

M83 has an angular size of 12 x 10 arcminutes and has very high surface brightness. ... The high surface brightness is due to a very high star formation rate. Galaxies which have high star formation rates generally have strong spiral structure and M83 is an excellent example of this. This is a blue band imaged acquired remotely by using the array controller (ARCON) and a Textronix 2048x2048 CCD device on the CTIO 1-m telescope. ... The image was acquired on the night of August 18th. ...
