... And what connects the pattern of the aurora to the region of the Earth's magnetic forces--the " magnetic field " of the Earth, as that region is known? ... Similarly magnetic field lines of the Earth guide electrons of the aurora to come down in the auroral zone. ... The currents along magnetic field lines in space turn out to be carried almost entirely by electrons -- descending towards Earth west of midnight, rising up again east of it (being negative, their flow opposes that of the current). ...

This animation shows a binary star being lensed by a binary lens. ... The sharp changes in the size of the lensed images of the stars lead to sharp changes in the brightness of the stars, which can be analyzed to determine many parameters about the objects doing the lensing, even though they are not bright enough to be seen. ... The graph shown above gives the predicted and observed brightness of a star in the Small Magellanic Cloud being magnified by a binary lens. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...
