It isn't the first extrasolar planetary system to be discovered; the first planet outside our own solar system orbiting a normal Sunlike star was discovered in 1995. ... Still, this is the first solar system ever found besides our own to definitely have more than one planet. This is an important discovery: most people all along have been assuming that multiple planet systems exist, but we had never actually seen one. ...

Discover the cosmos! ... 2003 May 11 . M83: The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy from VLT . ... Explanation: M83 is one of the closest and brightest spiral galaxies on the sky. Visible with binoculars in the constellation of Hydra , majestic spiral arms have prompted its nickname as the Southern Pinwheel. Although discovered 250 years ago, only much later was it appreciated that M83 was not a nearby gas cloud, but a barred spiral galaxy much like our own Milky Way Galaxy . ... About APOD | ...

Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES) The M74 group is a gas-rich galaxy group located at roughly 10 Mpc and is similar in makeup to the Local Group. M74 dominates the surrounding region and is accompanied by several dwarf galaxies, some of which are star-forming. ... We have decided upon a drift mapping approach to scan the entire region. We have defined 5 constant declination scans 5 in length, separated by approximately one full ALFA footprint. ... START TIME (AST) . END TIME (AST) . ...

... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

... Tidal influence on each of the galaxies in our sample is quantified by identifying and measuring the distance to the nearest companion, using a photometric technique with good completeness characteristics. ... Massnormalised starformation rates were derived using galaxy stellar masses estimated from zband luminosities Nearest companions were identified using the algorithm illustrated in Figure 1. ... Some of the lowredshift galaxies in our sample with close companions are illustrated in Figure 3. ...

William Gershel (1738 - 1807). ... Gershel twice widened the Solar system and "turned" the Sun, proving its motion in the Universe. ... The Solar system became twice more. Besides he opened two satellites of Uranus (1789) with the reverse motion (1797) and two new Saturn satellites (1789). ... In 1783 Gershel discovered the Sun's motion in the Space and its direction. ... The 20 feet telescope of Gershel opened the nature of the mysterious "milky nebulas" which turned to be the star congestions. ...

... A tussle in the distant Universe. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows evidence for a merger between a quasar and a companion galaxy. The quasar is the bright object just beneath the image center, and the wisps of material around it are remains of a galaxy disrupted by the interaction between it and the quasar. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
