Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Stars . ... Starbursts are short-lived events, stars are forming so quickly that the reservoirs of interstellar gas from which stars are coalescing would be used up on a timescale much shorter than the age of the galaxy . ... Strong stellar winds from giant new stars in the starburst region combine with the blasts of supernovae to push a mighty flood of extremely hot gas, a ?superwind? from the galaxy thousands of light years into intergalactic space. ...

... We have measured radio flux densities of BL Lacertae ( B2200+420 ) with the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 4.8, 7.9, 11.2 and 21.7 GHz during 6 October - 20 November, 2012 to study the detected ( ATel #4557, #4565, and #4568 ) flare. ... On 12 November flux density had notably risen to 8.30 +/- 0.19 Jy at 7.7 GHz, to 9.86 +/- 0.09 Jy at 11.2 GHz and to 11.70 +/- 0.3 Jy at 21.7 GHz. ...

Comet 17P/Holmes increased in brightness over a half of million times on 2007 October 24 ( APOD 2007 October 26 ). On November 1 it was still in peak of its brightness, when I pointed at it the 25-cm telescope of my home observatory located in the Nizhnyj Arkhys, Community of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Karachai-Cherkesia, Russia. Figure 1. Comet 17P/Holmes identified in the frame of SAO 1-m Zeiss all-sky TV camera on 2007 November 1. ... Comet is a green nonstellar object. ...
