... We had the opportunity to take part in a work experience project in the Armagh Observatory in 2015 from March 30th to April 2nd, during which we used the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network to obtain images of various celestial bodies including the Galaxies M83, M88 and M99 which we combined 3 different images created using different filters using the software DS9. ...

... STScI-PRC00-12 THE GLOWING EYE OF NGC 6751 Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have obtained images of the strikingly unusual planetary nebula, NGC 6751. Glowing in the constellation Aquila like a giant eye, the nebula is a cloud of gas ejected several thousand years ago from the hot star visible in its center. ... The nebula shows several remarkable and poorly understood features. ... Hajian and his team are scheduled to reobserve NGC 6751 with Hubble's WFPC2 in 2001. ...

... The task first computes a background image in order to identify pixels that may be part of a source. The task uses two different algorithms for detecting ``point'' and ``extended'' sources. ... If a likely source is found its position and shape parameters are computed by moments and the pixels assigned to the source are set equal to the source number. ... The source is again classified as either ``point'' or ``extended'' from a comparison of its with to that of the PSF width. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy: The North Star, Polaris, is a very bright star. Good Astronomy: Polaris is a middling-bright star, easily missed. ... 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. ...

Observations over the last decade indicate black-holes likely resided at the heart of most if not all galaxies. The correlation between the masses of these compact nuclear sources and their host galaxy is poorly understood and likely plays an important role in the formation and evolution, of at least the most massive systems, due to AGN feedback. ... I will give a brief summary of the reverberation mapping technique and describe the important role SkyMapper photometry can play in this program. ...

... Now, think about a much bigger move: What do you think it would be like if the Earth moved to a different part of our Galaxy?
