Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

Supernovae . ... Most people that are interested in supernovae use whatever telescopes they can get access to, but researchers at certain colleges and universities are able to access specialized telescopes like NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory . It?s a telescope that orbits the Earth and that has a specialized purpose of being able to observe X-ray emissions from supernovae, clustered galaxies and the materials around black holes. ... Just like all living things stars have a life cycle. ...

... Bright Nebulae in M33 . ... Credit Copyright: Ken Crawford ( Rancho Del Sol Observatory ) Explanation: Gorgeous spiral galaxy M33 seems to have more than its fair share of bright emission nebulae. In fact, narrow-band and broad-band image data are combined in this beautifully detailed composite to trace the reddish emission nebulae, star forming HII regions , sprawling along loose spiral arms that wind toward the galaxy's core. ...

... Since moonshine is really reflected sunlight, the full Moon is on the average slightly brighter in mid-winter, when Earth is closest to the Sun. In addition, the distance of the full Moon also varies, due to the ellipticity ("eccentricity") of the Moon's orbit. On 22 December, 1999, the two effects combined to produce the brightest full Moon of the century. ... This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22nd, commonly called the first day of winter. ...

You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...

Next: Combining Bias Frames Up: Preparing Your Calibration Previous: Input and Output . Except for summing the frames together, combining frames may require correcting for variations between the frames due to differing exposure times, sky background, extinctions, and positions. ... The input frames are combined by applying a sigma clipping algorithm at each pixel. ... The input frames are combined with a variant of the sigma clipping algorithm which works well with only a few frames. ...

... 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. ...

. This is an artist's rendering of the New Horizons spacecraft encountering a Kuiper Belt object a city-sized icy relic left over from the birth of our solar system. The Sun, more than 4.1 billion miles (6.7 billion kilometers) away, shines as a bright star embedded in the glow of the zodiacal dust cloud. Jupiter and Neptune are visible as orange and blue "stars" to the right of the Sun. JHUAPL/SwRI

... They worked out that first magnitude was on average 100 times brighter than the 6th magnitude star. ... This formed an equation of apparent magnitude Mv which is: Mv = -2.5 log f + constant were f is the flux of that star f = ( counts/ exposure) The images that we worked on were taken by the Polar Bear Telescope. ... One of these being that it will be combined with standard stars, which will be used to identify the area of stars and to also help identify other stars within the image. ...

... The combined exposure map covers the area defined by rgsangles as the minimum and maximum legal values ( TLMIN and TLMAX ) for BETA_CHANNEL and XDSP_CHANNEL . ... Even so it is nevertheless possible for the camera to drift outside these bounds, and in that case the combined exposure map is truncated with respect to the aggregate of node-specific maps (which are aligned to the same grid but not confined by it). ... The combined map is output to its own dataset, separate from the event list. ...
