... WFPC2 , HST , NASA Explanation: Planetary nebulae are strange. ... But now yet another mystery has come to light: what created the fast-moving gas clouds that appear around planetary nebula ? Dubbed FLIERs for Fast Low-Ionization Emission Regions, these knots of dense gas appear to have been ejected from the central star before it cast of the planetary nebula. ... In the above false-color picture of NGC 7662, the Blue Snowball Planetary Nebula , the FLIERs are featured in the image inserts. ...

I Can't See ( Barlow /Gaffney) I didn't really want to hold your hand I didn't wanna wait around to understand You were just a test to cut into my heart With nothing real around I cried to you instead Wanted you to think you'd struck another boy I fell in love as if I had no other choice A little nothing child who just misunderstood A little friendship for something true and good I'm into things I can't ...

... December 23, 1998 . Ring Around the Galaxy . ... Explanation: It is difficult to hide one galaxy far behind another. The closer galaxy's gravity will act like a huge lens , pulling images of the background galaxy around both sides. This is just the case observed in the above recently released image from the VLT : the red galaxy in the middle is in the foreground, lensing the image of the background green galaxy into surrounding contorted arcs . ...

... A cyclic convolution of an input image weighted by gives output according to the following prescription: . ... The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm used by the task works most efficiently if each dimension of the image is a multiple of 2, 3, 5 or 7. ... If the image is large and the number of convolvers small, this will generally be the FFT method; however direct convolution becomes more efficient if the image is divided into many small patches of different convolution. ...

... On the equator (point C) the sun would always rise until it was overhead, while at the poles (A and B) it would always be on the horizon, going around the horizon once a day. ... Because everything is symmetric with respect to the line AB, the dark and light portions are always equal, and so are day and night, anywhere on Earth. ...

... The planet in orbit around 51 Peg has, according to theoretical models, moved into its current position from farther away and its atmosphere may therefore be strongly evaporating. The molecules released by the upper parts of the atmosphere must be rapidly ionized and could form an envelope around the planet. If the planet passes in front of the star, this envelope is in favorable geometric conditions (the inclination angle of the orbit is close to 90?) which allow it to occult the star. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

... If a triangle has sides of length ( a,b,c ), with sides ( a,b ) enclosing an angle of 90 degrees ("right angle"), then . ... A diagonal cut divides it into two right-angled triangles with short sides a and b , and the area of such a triangle is therefore (1/2) ab . Now look at the square on the left constructed out of four ( a,b,c ) triangles. ... As the drawing on the right shows, that area can be divided into 4 triangles like the ones before, plus a small square of side ( a-b ). ...

... This talk focuses on exploring the connection between Ly absorbers and galaxies. The theorist view of gas in the low z universe is based on the filamentary structures that are evident in simulations based on the CDM paradigm. ... The observer's view of gas in the low-z universe is based on the Ly absorbers which have column densities as low as 10 cm , while galaxies are at column densities of 10 cm . ... The absorber has N cm . ... Can examine LSS defined by gas-rich galaxies around absorbers. ...
