... Ignacio Ugarte Urra's PhD thesis topic is the investigation of coronal bright points. In his first paper (in collaboration with Gerry Doyle and Maria Madjarska) he investigated the formation, evolution and decay of a coronal bright point via a spectroscopic analysis of its transition region counterpart and the evolution of the underlying magnetic bipole during 3 days of almost continuous observations. ... In general the bright point has a radiance 4 times higher than that of the network. ...

It's an illusion created by the finite speed of light and rapid motion," Biretta said. ...

... Pluto's orbit is also highly inclined -- tilted 17 degrees to the orbital plane of the other planets. ... Ground-based observations indicate that Pluto's surface is covered with methane ice and that there is a thin atmosphere that might freeze and fall to the surface as the planet moves away from the Sun. ... This is the first image-based surface map of the solar system's most remote planet, Pluto. ... This is the first surface map of Charon, the moon of the solar system's most remote planet, Pluto....
