... The central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure - a collaborative effort combining data from two different telescopes - explores the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula's central star . Of course, in this well-studied example of a planetary nebula , the glowing material does not come from planets. ... Publications with keywords: Ring Nebula - planetary nebula .

... November 12, 1996 . Comet Hale-Bopp Passes M14 . ... Explanation : Comet Hale-Bopp continues its slow trek across the night sky, and can now be seen superposed near the bright globular cluster M14 . Will Comet Hale-Bopp become as bright in early 1997 as Comet Hyakutake did in early 1996? It is still too early to tell. ... Because of the size of coma , some speculate that the nucleus of Hale-Bopp is unusually large. ... Tomorrow's picture: Seven Jets from Comet Hale-Bopp . ... About APOD . ...

... 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. ...

... In particular, members of the project regularly organize events dedicated to various interesting astronomical phenomena and events - solar and lunar eclipses, transit of Venus, etc. On November 3rd a team of astronomers will venture deep into Turkana National Park, Kenya and attempt to broadcast the magic of a total solar eclipse to the world. ... Solar eclipse . A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun from our view. ...

Michael Smith has been analysing new infrared data collected from 11 PPN and PN by Chris Davis (Joint Astronomy Centre, Hawaii) to search for clues as to how the objects evolve. ...

... Although they all formed from similar material, it is a mystery why the planets closest to the Sun Mercury, Venus and Earth are so different. Astronomers hope to learn more about how they were created by studying asteroids, which are pieces of rock that were surplus to requirements in planet building. A team of astronomers has been observing an asteroid called Lutetia that is 100 kilometres wide. ... Meteorites are much smaller than asteroids and range in size from marbles to basketballs.) ...

This document discusses the conventions for combining region and table filters, especially with regards to the comma operator. Filter specifications consist of a series of boolean expressions, separated by commas. ... Region and table filters can be combined: foo.fits[circle(10,10,3),pi=1:5] or even: foo.fits[pha==1 (10,10,3),pi==2 (20,20,8,5)] In these cases, it is not obvious whether the command should utilize an or or and operator. ...

... Gauging the impact of executing science program across different COS/FUV lifetime positions . ... Changing Programs & Resolving Problems . ... The first such move occurred on 23 July 2012, when the COS FUV spectrum was moved to the COS FUV Lifetime Position 2 (LP2). ... It now appears that the move to COS/FUV Lifetime Position 3 will not occur until early 2015, and so a substantial fraction of Cycle 22 observationsare likely to occur at the COS FUV lifetime position 2, prior to the change. ...

. This wide-angle image (spanning 320 miles [510 km]) shows different compositions in the material on MercuryтАЩs surface. The camera used three of the 11 filters available to take this image. (The wide-angle camera can image in 11 filters across the range of visible to near-infrared radiation.) This image combines data taken at 1,000 nanometers (red), 750nm (green), and 430nm (blue) to create a color image.

... 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 . ...

... The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology . ... The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 130 parsecs (425 light years ) away. ...
