The Discovery of the Galilean Satellites . ... Probably the most significent contribution that Galileo Galilei made to science was the discovery of the four satellites around Jupiter that are now named in his honor. Galileo first observed the moons of Jupiter on January 7, 1610 through a homemade telescope. He originally thought he saw three stars near Jupiter, strung out in a line through the planet. ...

Figure 1: An averaged OH 1612-MHz spectral profile of V1018 Sco, from 36 separate epochs of observations at Parkes. ... V1018 Sco (IRAS 17317-3331, OH354.88-0.54) is a well known OH/IR star with strong infrared and radio maser emission. The OH 1612-MHz maser spectrum of V1018 Sco, shown in Figure 1, has a double-peaked profile that is characteristic of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars where the maser emission occurs from the outer regions of an expanding circumstellar envelope. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...
