It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... 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! ...

... 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. ...

HgCdTe detector arrays like those in NICMOS are subject to image persistence. ... Experiments using Cycle 7 NICMOS data have shown that it is possible to scale and subtract such ?post-SAA darks? from subsequent science exposures taken later in the same orbit, and thus to remove a significant fraction of the CR persistence signal. ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

... Calibration and analysis of this observation posed very interesting challenges for the authors, in particular dealing with an exciting new instrument whose on-orbit calibration was not yet well defined. ... Five mosaic positions were observed during five consecutive orbits as well as observations for dark and flat calibration. ... Darks and flats had to be created from contemporaneous reference observations and problems within the calibration process had to be resolved. ...
