... Bad Astronomy . Misconceptions . ... Bad Astronomy : "We're light years more advanced than our competition!" ... Even the closest astronomical object, the Moon, is 400,000 kilometers away! ... A beam of light will travel 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers in one year. This distance is defined as a light year ; the distance light travels in a year. ... This is another example of Bad Astronomy; like a light year, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time (to be specific, it equals 3.26 light years) . ...

... The Large Magellanic Cloud is a Dwarf Irregular galaxy in orbit around our own Milky Way. It is a large object, several degrees in size, and easily visible to the unaided eye in Southern Hemisphere skies. The LMC is located in the constellation of Doradus at about 5h30m Right Ascension, -68 degrees Declination, and lies at a distance of roughly 50 kiloparsecs (160,000 light years) from Earth. ...

Two of the molecular clouds studied by Kainulainen and colleagues: The Pipe Nebula (left) and the Rho Ophiuchi cloud (right) in the Milky Way. In the background, an ordinary image of the Milky Way; each inset map shows to what extent the light of background stars is dimmed as it passes through the cloud in question. These maps form the basis of the 3-D reconstruction of cloud structure from which the astronomers derived their "recipe for star formation." ...

... Image at four different wavelengths of the scattered light from the TW Hya protoplanetary disk. The images come from the Hubble Space Telescope Instruments (upper left) STIS--visible, (upper right) NICMOS--1.1 micron, (lower left) NICMOS--1.7 micron, and (lower right) NICMOS--2.2 micron. The images are scaled by the distance in the disk from the star squared to highlight a gap observed halfway out in the disk. ... Scattered Light Images of Young Circumstellar Disks . ...

The Milky Way is an average-sized spiral galaxy, one of about 100 billion islands of stars in the universe. ... Thomas Wright in 1750 and Immanuel Kant in 1755 suggested that the band of light we see is a flattened disc of stars. ... This really depends on your location and sky conditions, but generally you'll see the Milky Way stretched as a band between the northeastern and southwestern horizons. ...

... High-velocity clouds (HVCs) were discovered by Muller, Oort & Raimond (1963) in the 21-cm line emission of neutral, atomic hydrogen. They are gas clouds which are characterised by high radial velocities incompatible with a participation in the rotation of our Galaxy. ... This suggestion was seized by Braun & Burton (1999) who identified 66 compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) with positional and kinematic characteristics being compatible with a distribution across the entire Local Group. ...

Comet structures are diverse and very dynamic, but they all develop a surrounding cloud of diffuse material, called a coma, that usually grows in size and brightness as the comet approaches the Sun. ... As comets approach the Sun they develop enormous tails of luminous material that extend for millions of kilometers from the head, away from the Sun. ... The evaporated molecules boil off and carry small solid particles with them, forming the comet's coma of gas and dust. ...
