This video compares a new view of the Helix Nebula acquired with the VISTA telescope in infrared light with the more familiar view in visible light from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory. The infrared vision of VISTA reveals strands of cold nebular gas that are mostly obscured in visible light images of the Helix. ...

... Interstellar scintillation of pulsars, interstellar turbulent plasma and supernova Stromgren zones . ... A dependence of the emission measure EM observed in the directions of supernova remnants and pulsars on their ages is derived. The dependence have a well defined low boundary EM min , which increases, when age is decreased. ... The dependence of pulsar pulse broadening tau on pulsar age t have a clearly defined low boundary tau min also. ...

Radio-loud, Radio-quiet: quasars that look virtually identical at all other wavelengths can differ by a 1000 in their radio emission. Radio-loud quasars have a powerful jet moving at relativistic speeds (i.e. close to the speed of light) made up of energetic particles, themselves moving near the speed of light in a magnetic field. ...
