A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

Asteroid 1998 ML14 was discovered on 1998 June 24 by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at the Lincoln Laboratories Experimental Test Site . It was discovered that it would pass about 0.02 AU (about 3 million miles) from the Earth on 1998 August 11 --- close enough to be observed by the Arecibo Planetary Radar and (at much lower S/N) by the Goldstone Solar System Radar. ...

Looking in the direction of the constellation Cygnus the Swan and launched by NASA in 2009 is the Kepler Space Observatory.Many previous missions searching for exoplanets mainly detected large giant planets, like large hot Jupiters (it is easier to detect larger planets).However KeplerтАЩs main objective is to search for much smaller planets located in a habitable zone which is not too close nor too far from their star; planets which may be just like our Earth. ...

Amalthea . Jupiter V . Amalthea [am-al-THEE-uh] is one of Jupiter's smaller moons. ... These four images of Jupiter's moon, Amalthea, were taken by Galileo's solid state imaging system at various times between February and June 1997. ... Amalthea, whose longest dimension is approximately 247 kilometers (154 miles) across, is tidally locked so that the same side of the satellite always points towards Jupiter, similar to how the near side of our own Moon always points toward Earth. ...

... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . Nearly 50 years ago, Dr David Andrews , a former Astronomer at the Armagh Observatory, discovered a new minor planet or asteroid. It was discovered on the night of 25th January 1965, and the object eventually received an official number (1727) and the name "Mette" , named by the discoverer in honour of his wife, "for her tolerance of my nocturnal working hours and for the many months spent away from home". ...
