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." ...

... I normally begin by asking the class what they think would be different if the Moon didn't exist, or if the Sun were closer to Earth, or if a star exploded nearby. ... The winds would be much stronger. ... In using what-if questions in the classroom, it is worth bearing in mind that students extrapolating the effects of new scenarios will encounter two different situations: direct changes to the new version of Earth and indirect changes resulting from the direct changes. ...

... Instead, new evidence obtained using the UK's Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii, spins a different story. Streams of spinning bullets have been discovered. These infrared bullets, moving at prodigious speeds, deposit the spin far away from the birth region'' , stated Armagh Observatory astronomer Dr. Michael Smith. ... Now, using the UK Infrared telescope in Hawaii fitted with sensitive instruments, a team of astronomers have found evidence that the jets of bullets are spinning. ...

... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ...
