... 2000 March 20 . Mercury on the Horizon . ... Explanation: Have you ever seen the planet Mercury? Because Mercury orbits so close to the Sun, it is never seen far from the Sun, and so is only visible near sunrise or sunset . If trailing the Sun, Mercury will be visible for several minutes before it follows the Sun behind the Earth . ... An informed skygazer can usually pick Mercury out of a dark horizon glow with little more than determination. ... About APOD | ...

Over the coming weeks an international team, including Simon Jeffery , Vincent Woolf and Amir Ahmad of the Armagh Observatory, will use over fifteen different telescopes to make over one hundred nights of observations of just one star to learn about its internal structure. ... Although the approach has been used before, this may be the first time that a global asteroseismology project has tried to measure both light and spectrum variations at the same time for any star apart from the Sun. ...

... Solar System . ... Stars . ... August . ... A classical nova binary system just before an explosion on the surface of the white dwarf. Classical novas occur in a system where a white dwarf closely orbits a normal, companion star. ... A white dwarf is the inert but still white hot core of a dead star. ... This means if you have a dark enough sky the nova is visible to the naked eye but to pick it out you will need to be very familiar with the dim stars between Delphinus and Sagitta (the Arrow). ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...

... 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 . ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
