... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... About ATNF overview . ... Both are consistent with earlier estimates, computed for the population of optically selected galaxies. This consistency occurs because, although the distribution of optical central surface brightnesses among galaxies is flat, we fail to find a population of galaxies with central surface brightnesses fainter than 24б  B - , even though there is no observational selection against them.

The Hubble orbiting telescope. The Earth's atmosphere, while transparent to visible light, absorbs most "electromagnetic radiations" which belong to the same family as light: parts of the infra-red (IR) and all of the ultra-violet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays. ... The Hubble telescope , in low Earth orbit, overcomes such limitations, in the visible range and in part of the UV. ... Some satellites specialize in observing the Sun, such as the Japanese Yohkoh and NASA's SOHO . ...

... Science . ... The Local Sphere of Influence (LSI) survey is a deep near-IR (H-band) survey of galaxies residing in the Local Sphere of Influence ( D < 10 Mpc). The images with a typical surface brightness limit 4 mag fainter than 2MASS (24.5 mag arcsec -2 < SB lim < 26 mag arcsec -2 ) have been obtained with IRIS2 on the 3.9~m Anglo-Australian Telescope. 11 of the observations have resulted in non-dections or the images were saturated by foreground stars. ...
