... Here I will briefly describe some of the key surveys taking place, the distinction between cosmology and galaxy evolution studies and an update of where we are in terms of mapping the Universe (and whether weтАЩre likely to run out of Universe anytime soon). IтАЩll then focus on science from the GAMA project, very briefly summarising some of the key results from the first 100 papers, before focussing on where we are with the mass and energy census in the Universe. ...

3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
