... 2009 April 15 . Jagged Shadows May Indicate Saturn Ring Particles . ... Explanation: What's causing unusual jagged shadows on Saturn's rings? ... Now Saturn's rings have been known to be made of particles for hundreds of years , but these particles have so far escaped direct imaging. It is therefore particularly exciting that a preliminary hypothesis holds that these jagged shadows are silhouettes of transient groups of ring particles temporarily held close by their own gravity. ...

... The TRACE images may be used without restrictions in publications of any kind. ... These two images, taken on 18 November 2000 at 15:54UT and 16:11UT, respectively, show such an event: the red circle in the image to the left shows a region where many loops are cooling, with bright loop tops (the intensity scales with the square root of the image to reduce the dynamic range). ...

Armagh Observatory, 7 August 2000: . On the night of Friday 11th/Saturday 12th August, the annual meteor shower known as the Perseids makes its return. ... As Mark Littmann, author of "The Heavens on Fire," recounts, an American bookstore owner, Edward Herrick, independently discovered the Perseids on 9th August, 1837. He later made a thorough search of astronomical records and found several references to sightings of meteors on 9th and 10th August from Egypt in 1029 to England in 1833. ...

The preliminary ALFA pulsar surveys started on August 1st, 2004. In the first day of observations, a new 67.8-ms pulsar, PSR J1928+1746, was discovered: this was the first new pulsar found with ALFA. ... Strangely, the pulsar could not be detected in a 430-MHz observation. This pulsar's apparently unusual spectrum might not be so unusual: 1400-MHz surveys are biased towards finding this kind of object, but the pulsars found in these surveys were not consistently observed at higher frequencies. ...

... Be Stars . ... Stellar Winds . ... He had found the first emission line star. ... More emission line stars were found soon, and one had to make subclasses to keep some overview. Cas is a main sequence B-type star, and together with other such stars showing hydrogen emission it forms the class of "Be stars", where the "e" stands for emission. ... Struve further speculated that those stars would be surrounded by a disk, basically thrown off the stellar surface by the rapid rotation. ...

The first indication that the sun might be emitting a "wind" came from comet tails , observed to point away from the Sun, whether the comet was approaching the Sun or whether it was moving away. ... Comet Halley, with plasma tail kink . ... Sunlight pressure cannot explain such behavior, but in 1943 Cuno Hoffmeister in Germany, and later Ludwig Biermann, proposed that apart from sunlight, the Sun also emitted a steady stream of particles, a "solar corpuscular radiation" which pushed the ions. ...
