... There are only three stars that have been observed while in the act of a fast stellar evolution, F.G. Sagittac, V605 Aquilae, and Sakurai’s Object (V4334 Sar). In February of 1996 Yukio Sakurai, a Japanese amateur astronomer, was looking for comets when he noticed an object in the constellation Sagi ...

... might help explain the unusually slow speed of only about 4000 km s−1 indicated by the H line, and might provide a natural explanation for the long duration and rise time of the SN because of time needed for energy to diffuse out of the massive envelope. However, Instead of 70 d, the observed peak ...

... In September 1987, two youngsters in Brazil removed a stainless steel cylinder from a machine in an abandoned clinic. Five days later they sold the cylinder to a scrap dealer who prised open a platinum capsule inside to reveal a glowing blue powder. The powder was found to contain caesium-137 and ha ...

... • Various workers have suggested that the line ratios that we have interpreted as arising from very low temperature material are actually caused by variations in the density of the material. These results show that low temperatures are obtained irrespective of the density. • The physical cause of th ...

What is the Universe made of?
... The latest experimental evidence suggests that the universe is made up of just 4% ordinary matter, 23% cold dark matter and 73% dark energy. These values were obtained by fitting data from measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation to models of our universe. ...
