Title: The Galaxy Zoo survey for giant AGN-ionised clouds: past and present black-hole accretion events Authors: William C. Keel, S. Drew Chojnowski, Vardha N. Bennert, Kevin Schawinski, Chris J. Lintott, Stuart Lynn, Anna Pancoast, Chelsea Harris, A.M. Nierenberg, Alessandro Sonnenfeld, R...
The bits are still warm, having just been downlinked from Hubble overnight. There is still a good bit of processing to be done, cleaning up cosmic rays and so forth. But that said, here is our first look at SDSS 2201+11, first of the Galaxy Zoo AGN cloud galaxies (AKA voorwerpjes) to come up on the telesc...

Exhibition held to commemorate late Chinese aerospace scientist An exhibition opened Friday in celebration of the 100th birthday of the late scientist Qian Xuesen, the man known as the father of China's aerospace technology. The exhibition was held in the National Science Library of the Chinese...
A special exhibition to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy is being held at the Bru na Boinne visitor centre in Ireland. The free weekend exhibition "From Earth to the Universe" will host workshops, talks and various activities. This exhibition features some of the best as...
Exploring the last white spot on Earth Scientists will soon be exploring matter at temperatures and pressures so extreme that the conditions can only be produced for microseconds using powerful pulsed lasers. Matter in such states is present in the Earth's liquid iron core, 2500 kilometres benea...
The narrowband UHC filter, like the O-III filter, isolates the two doubly ionised oxygen lines (496 and 501nm) in addition to the hydrogen-beta line (486nm) emitted by planetary and most emission nebulae. This filter permits superb views of objects like the Orion, Lagoon, Swan and other extended...
