... 2001 January 23 . Spherical Planetary Nebula Abell 39 . ... Planetary nebula Abell 39 , now six light-years across, was once a sun-like star's outer atmosphere expelled thousands of years ago. The nearly perfect spherical nature of Abell 39 allows astronomers to accurately estimate how much relative material is actually absorbing and emitting light. ... Abell 39 lies about 7000 light years away, although several galaxies millions of light years away can be seen through and around the nebula. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... Archives . ... To claim results are powerful statistically, astronomers highly rely on eyeballing techniques (need apprenticeship to acquire skills but look subjective to me without such training). ... One thing I want to point out is the phrase ?statistically powerful method? (in the context that they preform statistical data analysis, claimed to be a powerful method) which often misguides me because I cannot find a powerful test statistic in their studies. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

... Astronomers once thought Pluto's atmosphere would condense down to the surface as it moved away from the Sun. Can that still be true, and if so, is that causing the surface features we now see? ... This is almost certainly because the atmosphere which is nitrogen, like Earth s atmosphere is also frozen as ice on the surface. ... Get instant access to subscriber content on Astronomy.com! ...
