... Observations of the Moon eclipse on 17.09.97 have shown the Moon details contrasts had decreased and the total radio brightness had fallen at all observed frequency range (from 10% at 1.38 sm down to 2.5% at 13 sm). The fall of the Moon radio brightness has been detected during the eclipse at decemeter waves for the first time. ... Radio emission of the Copernicus crater at 1.38 and 2.7 sm has been detected for the first time. ...

... While there is practically no detector noise present at energies above , X-ray data below are considerably contaminated by noise events, which become more and more dominant towards the lowest transmitted energies (Fig. ... Investigations of 40 hours of in-orbit calibration data with the filter wheel closed, taken over a period of more than two years, showed that the noise properties vary with position and energy, but are fairly stable in time for most areas on the detector. ...

... 2007 September 1 . Kalamalka Lake Eclipse . ... Explanation: Recorded on August 28th , this serene total lunar eclipse sequence looks southwest down Kalamalka Lake toward the lights of Coldstream , British Columbia. An exposure every 4 minutes captured the Moon's position and eclipse phase, until the Moon set behind the town lights and a hill on the horizon. In fact, the sequence effectively measures the duration of the total phase of the eclipse . ... About APOD | ...

Polarization properties of two pulsars R. N. Manchester (ATNF, CSIRO, Australia) . ... Abstract Mean pulse polarization properties at 1.4, 4.6 and 8.3 GHz and rotation measures are presented for two pulsars with unusually wide profiles. PSR J0437-4715 is a millisecond pulsar with significant emission over at least 80% of the pulse period. It shows a complicated variation of linear position angle across the pulse indicating substantial departures from a dipole field structure. ...

... First direct distance to Andromeda . ... F or the first time, an eclipsing binary has revealed the precise distance to the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), say astronomers in Spain, America, and Scotland. ... In the past, astronomers have determined M31's distance by observing its stars, notably its Cepheids and RR Lyraes, but deducing these stars' intrinsic brightnesses has depended on observations in other galaxies. ...
