Hubble Finds Oxygen Atmosphere On Jupiter's Moon Europa . Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have identified the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's second moon, Europa . ... Europa's oxygen atmosphere is so tenuous that its surface pressure is barely one hundred billionth that of the Earth," said Principal Investigator Doyle Hall, of Johns Hopkins. ... The oxygen gas slowly leaks into space and must be replenished continuously. ...

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. ...

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. ...

... Astronomers once thought Pluto's atmosphere would condense down to the surface as it moved away from the Sun. Can that still be true, and if so, is that causing the surface features we now see? ... This is almost certainly because the atmosphere which is nitrogen, like Earth s atmosphere is also frozen as ice on the surface. ... Get instant access to subscriber content on Astronomy.com! ...

It remains to be shown that pulsations in all RCB stars provide the necessary conditions for dust nucleation to occur at this distance. ... The strength of a stellar absorption line represents the ratio of line opacity to continuous opacity in the atmosphere; both are related to the number density of the absorbing atoms and so provide the number ratio of line absorbers to continuum absorbers. ...
