... 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. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

... Stars come in different colours and sizes. This new picture shows the famous Red Giant star called Betelgeuse (you say the name as Beetle-Juice ). ... In the photo, the fuzzy red, blue, and purple cloud around the star is the nebula. Since the nebula isn t as bright as Betelgeuse, astronomers have to block some of the star s light to be able to photograph it. ... Our Sun will eventually become a Red Giant star like Betelgeuse but not for another 5,000,000,000 years! ...

For many years, CCDs had much higher quantum efficiency in the Red than in the blue because the devices were physically thick (200-300 microns of material). In the blue, the absorption depth for photons in silicon is only about 2000 angstroms (1/2 their wavelength) and typically the electrodes are insulated by poly-silicate gates which are around 5000 angstroms thick. ... In what follows, we offer several examples and images taken with wide field CCD systems. Page 3 . ...
