... October 8, 1996 . ROSAT Explores the X-Ray Sky . ... Explanation: Launched in 1990, the orbiting ROSAT observatory explored the Universe by viewing the entire sky in x-rays - photons with about 1,000 times more energy than visible light . This ROSAT survey produced the sharpest, most sensitive image of the x-ray sky to date. The all-sky image is shown with the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy running horizontally through the center. ...

... Welcome to the star-studded premiere of the most complex telescope on Earth: ALMA! To celebrate the launch of ALMA, astronomers have released the first photo taken by the telescope, which shows a pair of galaxies called the Antennae Galaxies. ... For this picture of the Antennae Galaxies, only 12 of ALMA s dishes were used because the telescope is still under construction. ... ALMA needs very dry air, because water in the atmosphere absorbs sub-millimetre waves. ...

... We present a comparison of the surface density of young stars (неБ‹†) and dust surface density (неdust) across NGC 346 (N66) in 115 independent pixels of 6 ц— 6 pc2. ... We convert неdust to gas surface density (неgas) and неБ‹† to star formation rate (SFR) surface densities (неSFR), using simple assumptions for the gas-to-dust mass ratio and the duration of star formation. ... On small scales the неSFR derived using Hн± systematically underestimates the count-based неSFR, by up to a factor of 10. ...

... Today this year's largest group of sunspots will cross the Sun's central meridian. ... The next day, the number of spots in the group reached five, and the day after, on June 2nd, it was possible to count thirteen sunspots on solar disk, which had been clear prior to this. ... This year's two most powerful active areas, which passed across the solar disk at the beginning of May, 2009, are set to appear in the Sun's eastern sector in two days, on June 6th. ...

... 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. ...

... We continue multicolor photometric CCD UBVRI monitoring of the peculiar red nova V838 Mon using CCD photometer and SAO RAS 1-m reflector . ... To understand these changes, one should take into account that before the explosion in 2002, V838 Mon was a system containing two B3V type stars, and brighter companion exploded. ... In the season of 2007-2008, B3V companion was captured by expanding remnant, but its variable radiation leaked through the cloudy structure of the remnant's envelope. ... 2008) ....

Although it s still invisible to the naked eye, Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) is brightening as expected. ... And, as we see here, long-exposure images also show the comet s greenish color. Adam Block captured this image through a 32-inch Schulman Telescope and an SBIG STX-16803 CCD camera. It's an RGB image with exposures of 18, 18, and 16 minutes, respectively, taken October 8, 2013, from the University of Arizona s Mount Lemmon SkyCenter . Adam Block ...
