... December 15, 1999 . A Nova In Aquila . ... Explanation: On December 1st , experienced observers patroling the night sky with binoculars noticed what seemed to be a new star in the constellation of Aquila (The Eagle) . It wasn't really a new star though. ... This "new star" appears to be a classical nova . Classical novae are thought to be interacting binary star systems in which one of the pair is a dense, hot white dwarf. ... About APOD > . ...

... Star Colors in Orion . ... What determines a star's color? ... Red stars are cool, with surface temperatures of around 3,000 kelvins (K), while blue stars are hotter and can have temperatures over 30,000 K. Our own lovely "yellow" Sun's temperature is a comforting 6,000 K. Hanny s Voorwerp . ... More precisely, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dark stellar nurseries in which they formed. ... Apollo 14: A View from Antares . ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... December 8, 1996 . Degas Ray Crater on Mercury . ... Explanation : Like the Earth's Moon, Mercury is scarred with craters, testifying to an intense bombardment during the early history of the Solar System. ... In the above mosaic the bright rays emanating from the 27 mile wide Degas crater almost appear to be painted on . The rays consist of light colored material blasted out during the crater's formation. Numerous smaller, younger craters are seen superposed on the Degas crater itself. ...

We derive the distribution of the synchrotron spectral index across NGC 6946 and investigate the correlation between the radio continuum (synchrotron) and far-infrared (FIR) emission using the KINGFISH Herschel-PACS and SPIRE data. The radio-FIR correlation is studied as a function of star formation rate, magnetic field strength, radiation field strength, and the total gas surface density. ... The synchrotron-FIR correlation suggests a coupling between the magnetic field and the gas density. ...

Presented on Tuesday, January 7, 2003 . We construct a detailed longitude-velocity diagram through the actual midplane of the Galactic H I disk. The Galactic midplane definition is based on single-dish sky surveys, and the detailed l-v slice ( Fig. 1 ) is extracted from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey ( CGPS ; Taylor et al. 2003 ). ... Note: other slices offset from this one were not shown in the AAS poster for lack of space, but they are available here . ...
