... August 24, 1996 . Why is QSO 1229+204 so Bright? Credit: J. Hutchings ( DAO ), NASA . Explanation: What causes the center of this barred spiral galaxy to light up brighter than almost anything in the universe? ... Not only was QSO 1229+204 at the core of an unusual barred spiral galaxy , but this galaxy was in the process of colliding with a dwarf galaxy . Gas from this collision quite possibly fuels a supermassive black hole causing QSO 1229+204 to shine so brightly. ... About APOD | ...

A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

... While staring up at the dark night sky from their homes all over the world, they were startled to witness a bright point of light appear in the sky where there had been none before! After studying the new star, they decided it was a nova (which just means ?something new in the sky?) and they named it ?Nova Vul?. A nova is powerful explosion on a star that causes it to instantly become much brighter. You can see the remains of Nova Vul in this space photograph! ...

The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

. Uranus' edge-on rings appear as spikes above and below the planet. The rings cannot be seen running fully across the face of the planet because the bright glare of the planet has been blocked out in the photo (a small amount of residual glare appears as a fan-shaped image artifact, along with an edge between the exposure for the inner and outer rings).

... 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) . ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...
