... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

... In order to realize the optimal scientific return from the VLT, ESO has undertaken to develop an end-to-end data flow system from proposal entry to science archive. The VLT Data Flow System (DFS) is being designed and implemented by the DFS Group (ESO Internal access only) in collaboration with VLT Division and Instrumentation Division . ... VLT Control System Interface . ... OBs are the quantum of data that flows within the DFS, collecting state, data and status information as they flow. ...

The A TNF S pectral A nalysis P ackage is a new software package that has been developed within the ATNF, to reduce single-dish, single-pointing spectral line observations. ASAP is now used for single-dish data from ATNF instruments and should be able to read data from any telescope if the data can be written in the "sdfits" format. ... The c++ code makes extensive used of the casa libraries (the package formerly known as aips++). ... A binary version for Fedora Linux should be available shortly. ...
