... Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2009 January 6 . Jupiter Eclipsing Ganymede . Credit: NASA , ESA , and E. Karkoschka ( U. Arizona ) . Explanation: How hazy is Jupiter's upper atmosphere? ... When near Jupiter's limb, Ganymede reflects sunlight though Jupiter's upper atmosphere, allowing astronomers to search for haze by noting a slight dimming at different colors. ...

... 2000 June 21 . Solstice Celebration . ... Each individual image highlights a different temperature regime in the upper solar atmosphere and was assigned a specific color; red at 2 million, green at 1.5 million, and blue at 1 million degrees C. The combined image shows bright active regions strewn across the solar disk, which would otherwise appear as dark groups of sunspots in visible light images, along with some magnificent plasma loops and an immense prominence at the righthand solar limb. ...

Armagh Observatory reports that, if skies are clear on the night of 27/28 September, skywatchers will witness a rare total eclipse of the Moon during the early hours of Monday 28th. ... As the eclipse progresses from penumbral to partial phase, and then towards totality, it is interesting to observe how the dark shadow of the Earth slowly encroaches on the Full Moon until the Moon is nearly completely obscured. ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

This is a copy of a Press Release from E.S.O. The most recent ESO observations of bright Comet Hyakutake have shown rapid changes in the innermost coma, within a few hundred kilometres from the cometary nucleus. This result has only become possible because of the unusual combination of a bright comet being near the Earth, together with the excellent imaging quality of the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT). ... Go to the ESO Homepage for Comet Hyakutake . ESO/La Silla | ...

Examples include the Long Man of Wilmington, England and the Owl Man of Peru (see figure 8 and figure 9 ). ... Deciphering the unique number system of the Maya is another archaeoastronomy topic that involves a minimum of math. ... Several collections of early writing of the Maya survive; numbers from them can be read and in some cases interpreted (see figure 12 ). ...

... A light curve decomposition tool ( LFIT ) developed by Keith Horne and Tom Marsh and its application on HST-data of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg will be presented. ... Our LFIT code decomposes time-resolved spectral data into N components with parameterized light curve shapes, solving for the spectra of each component. ... To apply this algorithm to the HST and UBVRI eclipses of IP Peg, we add an ellipsoidal light curve for the companion star, and a more detailed description of the bright spot. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
