... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

Target Acquisition Reference Information . Chapter 4 mentions acquisition methodologies for extended objects, and, in particular, the use of the EXTENDED Optional Parameter. In this section we provide some guidance on predicting the count rates to be expected during an acquisition of an extended object, especially one beyond our own Galaxy. The renewed availability of Side 1 of the GHRS and its G140L grating make it possible to get high-quality spectra of faint objects efficiently. ...

The Doppler shift is the effect of sound increasing or decreasing in pitch as an object moves towards or away from you. ... Light works the same way, except light is shifted to redder colours when an object is moving away, and to blue colours when an object is travelling towards us. ... Almost every object he observed had its light stretched to redder colours, indicating essentially everything in the Universe was moving away from us. ... So the Hubble constant tells us how old the Universe is. ...
