The applicability of this approach to object detection in large image collections has been investigated. ...

The infrared satellite IRAS. The main task of the IRAS telescope was the search of a longwave infrared radiation, composing the maps of the sky in the infrared range. IRAS telescope helped to discover new galaxies, to study the properties of the dust particles in our galaxy, which opens the character of a star hiding somewhere in the sky. ... For 6 months of observation it discovered 6 new asteroids, allowed to find out the nature of the dust zones between Mars and Jupiter orbits. ...

... Spectra obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS are used along with archival data from Spitzer and several ground-based telescopes to infer a strength of PAH emission, age, properties of the UV radiation field, and metallicity of studied HII complexes. Physical properties (age, radiation field parameters, metallicity) are related to the F 8 /F 24 ratio used as a proxy for the PAH abundance in order to reveal factors that may influence the PAH evolution in HII complexes. ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ... Mysterious Wow! ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bounded structures in the Universe dominated by dark matter. We review the observational appearance and physical models of plasma structures in clusters of galaxies. ... The knowledge of the complex dynamical and feedback processes is necessary to understand the energy and matter balance as well as to constrain the role of the non-thermal components of clusters. ...

... The absolute magnitude of the RCBs in the LMC and the small number of Galactic RCBs implies that they are very rare stars. Together with statistics for related stars, the total number of hydrogen-deficient stars in the Galaxy is estimated to be about 1000. Whilst the luminosity of RCBs is similar to that of other low-mass stars as they evolve rapidly from the asymptotic RED GIANT branch to become WHITE DWARFS , their frequency is much lower. ...
