... It is also our solar system's tenth planet. ... The astronomers first imaged 2003 UB313 October 21, 2003 -- but the ice world moved so slowly along its orbit it eluded software designed to look for moving targets until the scientists reanalyzed their images January 5, 2005. ... But Brown's crowning of 2003 UB313 as a tenth planet has rankled some astronomers and reinvigorated the simmering debate over how to define a planet -- and if any scientifically useful definition can include Pluto. ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... For moving objects such as asteroids, comets, or planets, it is useful to include ephemeris information, both to provide predicted coordinates for planning observations, and to allow accurate airmass calculations in the reductions. ... These times can be given either as Modified Julian Dates ( ), or as ordinary date strings like 1995 Jan 23.0 . To allow good interpolation, include two ephemeris entries before and two after the interval of observations. ... UT date --- column label: DATE . ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
