We present UV and optical spectropolarimetry of two highly polarized IRAS-selected quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), IRAS 13349+2438 and the broad absorption line QSO (BALQSO) IRAS 14026+4341. ... We construct full radiative transfer models of these systems consisting of a dusty sphere of modest optical depth illuminated axisymmetrically from within by a power-law QSO spectrum. We show that this simple model successfully reproduces the qualitative polarization properties of the objects. ...

... 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). ...

... STScI-PR95-08 HUBBLE SHEDS LIGHT ON THE "FAINT BLUE GALAXY" MYSTERY Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have solved a 20-year-old mystery by showing that a class of galaxy once thought to be rare is actually the most common type of galaxy in the universe. ... These faint galaxies were randomly imaged as part of a key Hubble Space Telescope project, called the "Medium Deep Survey." ... At the faintest limits more than half the galaxies seen are such systems." ...

The picture above was made with this demo POV file and this hand shower object POV file . This is three objects: a hand shower head, a wall mount bar, and a connecting hose. This is one of my least detailed objects; there's not even a clip to mount the hand shower to the sliding bar, it just floats. The hand shower itself does look pretty stylish, very rounded and cool looking. ... The showerhead is about yay big. ... WARNING: This POV object is based on a real object. ...
