... High-velocity clouds (HVCs) were discovered by Muller, Oort & Raimond (1963) in the 21-cm line emission of neutral, atomic hydrogen. They are gas clouds which are characterised by high radial velocities incompatible with a participation in the rotation of our Galaxy. ... This suggestion was seized by Braun & Burton (1999) who identified 66 compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) with positional and kinematic characteristics being compatible with a distribution across the entire Local Group. ...

In particular, a systematic and long-term survey of the atmosphere was missing, and most aspects of atmospheric behaviour remained puzzling. After the Magellan radar mapping mission ended in 1994, there followed a hiatus of more than a decade in Venus research, until the European Space Agency (ESA) took up the challenge and sent its own spacecraft to our planetary neighbour . ...

... The Sun gives us light and heat, sustaining life on Earth. ... This uneven rotation, coupled with the churning of the upper layers, might well be what produces (by a "dynamo mechanism", described in a later section) regions of intense magnetic field, seen by observers on Earth as dark sunspots. ... Near sunspots those streamers seem to be shaped by the Sun's magnetic field lines, and above the Sun's poles they suggest field lines rising from twin magnetic poles like those of the Earth. ...

... Values have been scaled arbitrarily. High ratios are shown in blue, corresponding to blue colors, and low ratios are shown in red, corresponding to red colors. ... Noise combined with background subtraction difficulties in the lower left quadrant of the WISP1 data (see Fig. \ref{Fig:wisp_snr_mskd}) make colors in this area very unreliable. ... The values shown here are typically a factor of ~3 less than those calculated for the Schmidt data, shown in Figure \ref{Fig:bj_alpha}. ...

These noctilucent "night-shining" clouds (or NLCs) are believed to form by sunlight reflecting off ice crystals high in the atmosphere, and usually appear in the northwest to northeast. ... NLCs occur at very high altitudes, in excess of 50 miles high, in the region above the stratosphere known as the mesosphere and at first sight they look like cirrus clouds. ...

To change the Scaling Function (how pixel values are binned into color levels): . ... For example, the basic grey-scale color map specifies no intensity for any color at the lowest color level, full intensity for all colors at the highest color level, with the red, green and blue intensities varying linearly for intermediate levels. ... At low bias, low color levels (i.e., low pixel values) will have non-zero intensities, while at high bias only high pixel values will have non-zero intensity. ...

... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...
