... 2001 April 25 . Space Laser Creates Artificial Star . ... So rather than try to eradicate existing stars with a laser, these astronomers create an artificial star of their own right where they need it -- with a laser . Subsequent observations of the artificial laser guide star can reveal information so detailed about the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere that much of this blurring can be removed by rapidly flexing the mirror. ...

... April 9, 1999 . WR 104: Pinwheel Star . ... Explanation: Like a cosmic lawn sprinkler, dust streaming from a rotating star system creates a pinwheel pattern in this false color infrared image . Astronomers discovered the surprising star dust scenario using a sophisticated interferometer and the 10 meter Keck I telescope to observe the bright Wolf-Rayet star WR 104. ... The problem is, their starlight would also be so intense that any dust flakes should be destroyed! ... About APOD > . ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
