... Aurora from Space . ... Magnetic Storms . ... The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... Why no aurora at the magnetic poles? ...

... Our Galaxy . ... Stars . ... Space Flight . ... NGC 2841: a spiral galaxy some 46 million light years away. ... It is especially hard to explain this process of star birth in some spiral galaxies. ... Targets include both star clusters and galaxies, and star formation rates seen range from the starburst galaxy M82 (the Cigar Galaxy) which is creating about ten new stars in its core alone every year to the much less fecund star producer NGC 2841. ...

... Telescopes . ... Creation of the distributed net of control (DCN) of the 6 m telescope has been completed, which is based on the use of digital tracking drives and the means of commercial automatization to ensure the real-time processes of control and data acquisition. With changing to DCN, computer diagnostics of the majority of units of the telescope has been implemented, the reliability of its operation in the whole has been increased, its performance characteristics have been improved. ...

... A data set contains a science frame, all its associated raw calibration frames and the master calibration frames created by combining and processing the raw calibration frames. ...

One of the most important questions in astronomy today is the source of the ionising photons that caused a predominantly neutral Early Universe to evolve into the ionised one we see today. ... Although the global star formation history of the early universe is strongly constrained by current observations, we actually know little about the nature of star formation at this time (as given by the specific star formation rate). ...
