... Comet Animation . ... Comet structures are diverse and very dynamic, but they all develop a surrounding cloud of diffuse material, called a coma, that usually grows in size and brightness as the comet approaches the Sun. ... As comets approach the Sun they develop enormous tails of luminous material that extend for millions of kilometers from the head, away from the Sun. ... The evaporated molecules boil off and carry small solid particles with them, forming the comet's coma of gas and dust. ...

... Right: Schematic of disk reprocessing in X-ray pulsars. The hard (power-law spectrum) X-ray beam sweeps around and illuminates the accretion disk, which reradiates a soft X-ray (blackbody) component. ... X-ray binaries owe their prominence to one of the most efficient energy release mechanisms known: accretion onto a compact object. In the accretion process gas from the atmosphere of the less dense companion is accelerated toward the extremely dense compact star. ...

... This page provides some context for the Heritage release of the HST/ACS 14th anniversary images of what John A. Graham first positively identified as "a peculiar southern ring galaxy". The image data displayed below show the environment around the RN nuclear ring galaxy VV785 (a.k.a. AM0644-741, the Lindsay-Shapley Ring, or Graham's Ring Galaxy) in ground-based radio, IR, and optical wavelengths. ... Above are the SHASSA Continuum (left) and H-alpha images of the field around the ring galaxy. ...

... Behemoth black hole found in an unlikely place . ... black holes . ... Giant ring of black holes in Arp 147 . ... The nine X-ray sources scattered around the ring in Arp 147 are so bright that they must be black holes, with masses that are likely 10 to 20 times that of the Sun. An X-ray source is also detected in the nucleus of the red galaxy on the left and may be powered by a poorly fed supermassive black hole. ...
