star formation region produced so far at millimetre wavelengths [1].
(In the
image above the more distant quasar HE 1104 - 1805 is seen as the two larger
images on either side
of the smaller yet closer lens galaxy [WKK93] G.) The
stars in that lens galaxy then act like ultra-high
resolution telescopes (see the NASA video).
Combining radio and infrared observations, researchers like Goodman and Arce created high -
resolution, multiwavelength
images of entire
star - forming clouds.

The list
of accomplishments is far too large to fit within one article, but they include: the first search for extraterrestrial intelligence; creation
of the Drake equation; discovery
of flat galactic rotation curves; first pulsar discovered in a supernova remnant; first organic polyatomic molecule detected in interstellar space; black hole detected at the center
of the Milky Way; determination
of the Tully - Fisher relationship; detection
of the first interstellar anion; measurement
of the most massive neutron
star known; first high angular
resolution image of the Sunyaev - Zel» Dovich Effect; discovery
of only known millisecond pulsar in a stellar triple system; discovery
of pebble - sized proto - planets in Orion, and the first detection
of a chiral molecule in space.
Abstract: We explore the multiplicity
of exoplanet host
stars with high -
resolution images obtained with VLT / SPHERE.
While recent observations have found such disks surrounding the baby - twin
stars, named «circumbinary disks», those observations could not
image the structures and gas motions
of the disks to feed materials to the binary, because
of the insufficient imaging
resolution and sensitivity.
Beyond our own galaxy, band 3 can be used to
image molecules in nearby galaxies at high
resolution, to probe the cold interstellar medium
of galaxies, and to peer into dust - obscured galaxies to observe
star formation.
To validate candidate planets identified by K2, the researchers obtained high -
resolution images of the planet - hosting
stars from Keck Observatory's near infrared camera (NIRC2), the Gemini and Large Binocular Telescope (among others) as well as high -
resolution optical spectroscopy using Keck Observatory's high
resolution spectrograph (HIRES) instrument and the AUtomated Planet Finder.
To validate candidate planets identified by K2, the researchers obtained high -
resolution images of the planet - hosting
stars as well as high -
resolution optical spectroscopy data.
Directed by Stephen van Vuuren and narrated by LeVar Burton
of Star Trek fame, In Saturn's Rings is a large - format look at NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, made using over 7.5 million real high -
resolution images of the planet, its moons, and other astronomical objects, carefully assembled and presented using classical multi-plane animation techniques.
