Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25. Many people look on Christmas as the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, but really the tradition goes back to the earliest of times.In those days the sun meant so much to primitive man that when it began to go lower each day till December 23, people thought the sun was going to die out and they were worried. ... On December 23 the sun stayed in the sky longer and longer and after that the nights were becoming shorter and shorter. ...

MNRAS Advance Access published January 27, 2014 MNRAS (2014) doi:10.1093/mnras/stt2365 Decoupled gas kinematics in isolated S0 galaxies Ivan Yu. ... Seven of 12 galaxies have revealed the presence of extended ionized-gas discs whose rotation is mostly decoupled from the stellar kinematics. ... Isolated galaxies are such galaxies. ... Similarly, we have found the shock-like excitation of the emission-line gas in the inclined gaseous disc of S0 galaxy NGC 7743 (Katkov, Moiseev & Sil'chenko 2011). ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... From the uvby photometry and proper motions for about 5500 nearby F stars we have found the following: (i) F stars , taken in narrow ranges of metallicity , show at [fe/H] 0 rather distinct cut-off in their distribution along the Main Sequence (MS) at the blue side, which is suggested to be an indication for the MS turn-off in stellar groups of fixed metallicity ; (ii) the corresponding turn-off age from theoretical isohrones strongly correlates with the ...
