... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

... There are preliminary series of photometric and radio spectral observations of the above-mentioned stars, archival data on the light curves of the stars, results of the search for OH and H 2 O maser emission in IRAS point sources that possess the IR parameters similar to Miras. ... The aim is a detailed study of the maser emission variability. ... In 1996-1997, astronomical observations of Mira Ceti-type stars (miras) were carried out in three spectral ranges: optical, infrared, and radio. ...

... The method is based on construction of a general polyharmonic model of the variations of the Earth rotation parameters using all the data available for the last 80 100 years, and modified autoregression technique. In this presentation, a detailed comparison was made of real-time UT1 predictions computed making use of this method in 2006 2010 with simultaneous predictions computed at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS). ...
