... It sustains all life on Earth and it can be very harmful to stay out in it for too long. To study the Sun, astronomers have built special telescopes to safely view it. ...

Previously, I was the Mission Scientist for JWST at STScI, where we are planning to operate JWST, an a fashion that is rather similar to Hubble Space Telescope. ...

i've been looking so long at these pictures of you that i almost believe that they're real i've been living so long with these pictures of you i almost believe that these pictures are all I can feel remembering you standing quiet in the rain as I ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close how i always held close in your fear ...

... 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. ...

One of Planck's first images is shown as a strip superimposed over a two-dimensional projection of the whole sky as seen in visible light. ... The prominent horizontal band is light from our Milky Way galaxy. The Planck image shows how the sky looks at millimeter-long wavelengths. Red areas are brighter, blue areas are darker. The large red strips show the Milky Way. ... Planck is measuring the sky at nine wavelengths of light, one of which is shown here. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Mad Science . ... if hubble was pointed at earth, what could it resolve? is it too bright? ... This type of image is called a ``flat field'', because you want the field of view to look as flat as possible. In space there aren't any flat fields you can use, but we do have one right here: the Earth. ... It takes a lot of sophisticated computer processing to turn this into a real flat field for Hubble to use, but luckily there are a lot of smart people working on the problem. ...

... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ...

... dal (dal-1.182) [xmmsas_20060628_1801-7.0.0] . ... The FITS standard supports the notion of long strings. These are FITS keywords with string values which exceed 68 characters and are continued across several lines. The continuation is specified with the & character (at the end of each string value to be continued) followed by one or more lines beginning with the reserved keyword CONTINUE (followed by the contined string value). Long string values are handled transparently by the DAL. ...

... October 21, 1997 This Hubble Space Telescope image provides a detailed look at a brilliant "fireworks show" at the center of a collision between two galaxies. ... A ground-based telescopic view of the Antennae galaxies (known formally as NGC 4038/4039) - so named because a pair of long tails of luminous matter, formed by the gravitational tidal forces of their encounter, resembles an insect's antennae. The galaxies are located 63 million light-years away in the southern constellation Corvus. ...
