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 ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...

M57 is another famous and often photographed object. It is also known as the Ring Nebula. ... Of course, they have nothing to do with planets but rather represent late stages in the evolution of low mass stars in which a double shell source (Hydrogen and Helium Burning) around a non-fusing Carbon core is driving the outer layes of the star away, thus revealing a hotter star (the central star of the Planetary nebula). ... Here we present 3 images: 1. Normal black and white image 2. ...

New England observer Lew Gramer, fresh back from his mid-November fish observing and meteor-catching expedition in South Florida, reports that December also promises to be a great month for celestial sky-sparks!" ... Other showers adding to the mix this month include several very minor showers, such as the Chi Orionids (3 Dec), Monocerotids (9 Dec) and Sigma Hydrids (12 Dec), which usually contribute no more than 2 or 3 meteors per hour during even post-midnight observing this month. ...
