... September 5, 1998 . The Pulsar Powered Crab . Credit: J. Hester and P. Scowen ( ASU ), NASA . ... Using a stunning series of visible light images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) , astronomers have discovered spectacular pulsar powered motions within the Crab nebula. Highlights of this HST Crab "movie" show wisps of material moving away from the pulsar at half the speed of light, a scintillating halo, and an intense knot of emission dancing, sprite-like, above the pulsar's pole. ...

... 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. ...

. 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 . ...
