... 2014 February 24 . The Cloudy Cores of Active Galaxies . Image Credit: NASA's GSFC , W. Steffen ( UNAM ) . Explanation: What would it look like to travel to the center of an active galaxy? Most galactic centers are thought to house black hole s millions of times more massive than our Sun. The spaces surrounding these supermassive black holes may be far from dormant, however, flickering in many colors and earning the entire object class the title of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). ...

On Thursday, 1998 February 26, a total eclipse of the Sun was visible from within a narrow corridor traversing the Western Hemisphere. The totality path (or path of the Moon's umbral shadow) began in the Pacific, continued through northern South America and the Caribbean Sea, and ended at sunset off the Atlantic coast of Africa. ... Some of the best placed sites along the totality path were in Venezuela. ... Exposure time was 1/2 second. At this location totality lasted 3min 36sec. ...

Plans are under way to create a new way of performing non-interactive observations which will be called auto-observing . ... Non-interactive observing with CIMA has for a long time been available with the use of CIMA command files. Contrary to normal command file observing which requires a command file with a set of commands to be executed sequentially, auto-observing will use a list of sources and a list of instructions on how to observe each of the sources. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

The period of this variable was first determined by Tony Vanmunster (Center of Backjard Astrophysics). We have taken the observations with CCD ST-7 and 60-cm reflector of SAI Crimean station. ... The longest set was taken at night of 2000 February 12 including 291 R 60 second long frames with the magnitude limit of 18. Summing all these frames in a single one I have taken a "deep sight" of this region having the limit of 21.7R. The effective exposition is 4 h. 51 m. Look at this frame! ...

Hipparchus (and possibly Aristarchus before him) also derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse . Because the Earth casts a much larger shadow than the Moon, such an eclipse usually darkens the entire Moon, for several hours. ... If the Sun is assumed to be very distant, and if the Moon crosses the middle of the shadow (if not, corrections must be made), the width of the shadow is expected to be about 2r , twice the Earth's radius r . ...
