Discover the cosmos! ... 2005 July 31 . Solar System Object Larger than Pluto Discovered . ... A faint, slowly moving dot discovered by computer shows clear signs of being a deep Solar System object at least as large as Pluto . The object, designated 2003 UB 313 , is currently situated nearly 100 times the Earth-Sun distance -- over twice the average Pluto-Sun distance. ...

... The planets are still growing slowly as comets and meteoroids collide with them. ... In the 1950s, American astronomer Fred Whipple suggested that comets are dirty snowballs: clumps of ice mixed with interplanetary dust. ... For most of its orbit, a comet remains far from the Sun, little more than the dirty snowball that it is -- what is usually called a bare nucleus. ... As Comet Hyakutake approached the Sun, jets of dust erupted from the Sun-facing side of its nucleus. ...

The high-redshift radio-loud quasar PKS 2126-158 is found to have a large number of red galaxies in close apparent proximity.We use the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South to obtain optical spectra for a large fraction of these sources. We show that there is a group of galaxies at z 0.66, coincident with a metal-line absorption system seen in the quasar s optical spectrum. ... All confirmed members exhibit early-type galaxy spectra, a rare situation for a MgII absorbing system. ...

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. ...

One of my on-going research interests concerns the dust shells of proto-planetary nebulae or PPNs (also called pre-planetary nebulae, transition objects, and post-AGB objects in the literature; the latter term also applies to a wider selection of objects such as RV Tauri stars), especially the carbon-rich ones that show the unidentified "21 micron' emission feature. ... I am working to find a complete sample of proto-planetary nebulae in these satellite galaxies from the millions of detected stars. ...

Next: Conclusions Up: The Hamburg/SAO Survey for Previous: Non-classified objects . ... Since the main goal of the HSS is an efficient search for new BCGs, the fraction of this type among all new detected ELGs - 84 %, or 80 % among all emission-line objects, is very encouraging. ... Thus a large fraction of BCGs relative to all ELGs is found ( 78 %) demonstrating the high efficiency of this survey to find on the Hamburg Quasar Survey photoplates namely galaxies with H II -type spectra. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...
