. This artistтАЩs impression shows the disk of gas and cosmic dust around the young star HD 142527. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have seen vast streams of gas flowing across the gap in the disk. These are the first direct observations of these streams, which are expected to be created by giant planets guzzling gas as they grow, and which are a key stage in the birth of giant planets. // Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/M.

An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . COSMIC CALENDAR . The Cosmic Calendar Activity. If we were to compress the history of the universe (from the Big Bang to the present moment) into one year, you can see where various "cosmic events" would fall in that year. ...

... January 8, 2007 . ... SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT . Astronomers at UC Santa Cruz have discovered a surprisingly massive halo of bright, old stars around our galactic neighbor Andromeda, pushing the outer limits of the galaxy to 1.5 million light years, and teaching them how spiral galaxies behave. ... Younger stars may be remnants of a galaxy devoured, but older stars could have formed with the birth of the galaxy. ... http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/archive/2007/January/08/local/stories/03local.htm . ...

... Comparing observations more than a century apart, Hipparchus proposed that the axis around which the heavens seemed to rotate shifted gradually, though very slowly. Viewed from Earth, the Sun moves around the ecliptic, one full circuit each year. ... During an eclipse, Sun, Earth and Moon form a straight line, and therefore the center of the Earth's shadow is at the point on the celestial sphere which is exactly opposite that of the Sun. ... Some 2000 years after Hipparchus, in the year 1840. ...

Armagh Observatory, 30 July 2015: The sky above a nearby "failed star" or brown dwarf lying in the summer constellation Lyra shimmers with a beautiful green and yellow aurora ten thousand times brighter than the northern lights. ... Even a few years ago, brown dwarfs were thought by most astronomers to be incapable of emitting any significant radio emission, so its first detection came as a great surprise. ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

... 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. ...

... 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. ...
