We report far-infrared and submillimeter observations of supernova 1987A, the star whose explosion was observed on 23 February 1987 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy located 160,000 light years away. ... The intensity and spectral energy distribution of the emission suggest a dust mass of about 0.4 to 0.7 times the mass of the Sun. ...

We present optical, ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) results for a new active late-type dwarf star discovered by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). A large flare with an energy in excess of 1E35 erg and duration of ~1.1 days was detected in the EUVE Lex/B band (60--200AA). ... The `quiescent' EUV emission of the source is similar to the most active flare stars with the `quiescent' optical spectrum showing strong H alpha, Ca II H Mg II h emission and Li I 6707.8A absorption. ...

Astronomers using the worldтАЩs largest radio telescope, at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have discovered flaring radio emission from an ultra-cool star, not much warmer than the planet Jupiter, shattering the previous record for the lowest stellar temperature at which radio waves were detected. ...

A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

During the last decade a third window for ground-based astronomy was opened and high energy astrophysics now enables studies up to photon energies of 100 TeV. A wide range of objects were discovered to emit significant amounts of energy in the high-energy gamma-ray regime, including star-forming regions, pulsars, supernova remnants, massive binaries, the diffuse interstellar medium, the Galactic Centre, AGN, etc. ...
