... August was noteworthy by having the least number of hours of bright sunshine for at least 128 years, that is, since sunshine records began at the Observatory in 1880. ... The month was also exceptionally wet, with rainfall totaling 151.4mm (5.96 inches), nearly twice the average figure (around 81 mm) for August and the seventh wettest August at Armagh since rainfall records began at the Observatory in 1838. In order to find a wetter August we have to go back 52 years, to August 1956. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...

... Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are located in external galaxies, their X-ray luminosities (10 39 - 10 41 erg/s) are thousand times greater than those of brightest black holes in the Galaxy. ULXs may be supercritical accretion disks around black holes of stellar masses (~10 Solar masses) like that in SS433, or they may be a hypothetical intermediate-mass black holes (hundreds - thousands Solar masses) with standard accretion disks. ... 2) The ULX progenitors were ejected from the star clusters. ...
