... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...

We present an exhaustive quantitative comparison of all the known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with our understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves. ... The near-infrared extinction curves are calculated mainly from 2MASS photometry supplemented with DENIS and new JHK photometry. ... This result strengthens the picture dust extinction curves exhibit of a continuum of properties between those found in the Milky Way and the SMC bar. ...

M31, also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, is the nearest large galaxy to our own. ... M31 is about 4 times as massive as the Milky Way. It has a substantially large population of globular clusters (about 600) than does the Milky Way. The overall star formation rate in M31 is remarkablely low compared to other spiral galaxies. M31 and the Milky Way are bound together (maybe?) in a configuration known as the Local Group of Galaxies. ... This image is another unique image. ...
