    Space is full of gigantic holes that are bigger than we expected | New Scientist
    https://www.newscientist.com/...98-space-is-full-of-gigantic-holes-that-are-bigger-than-we-expected/

    Face it, the vast darkness of space is a little eerie. It’s no wonder we usually prefer to focus on the bright spots.
    But it’s in the void that we might find our best explanations of the cosmos.

    In 1923, Edwin Hubble showed that the universe was far larger than expected by discovering that what we thought were swirls
    of gas on the edge of our own galaxy were actually galaxies in their own right: lonely “island universes” we could spot across
    an empty sea of black. That led to a comforting thought – we now know that even the darkest patch of sky, when seen through
    the telescope named after Hubble, is dotted with clumps of luminous stuff like our Milky Way.

    Prototypical active galaxy Arakelian 120 observed by Swift
    http://phys.org/news/2016-10-prototypical-galaxy-arakelian-swift.html

    Astronomers using NASA's Swift space observatory, have conducted a long-term monitoring campaign of a prototypical active galaxy,
    designated Arakelian 120 (Ark 120 for short). These observations reveal crucial information about the galaxy's variability, giving
    a hint about its true nature. The findings are presented in a paper published Oct. 13 on the arXiv pre-print server.

    Team members of NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter will discuss the latest science results, an amateur imaging processing campaign,
    and the recent decision to postpone a scheduled burn of its main engine, during a media briefing at 4 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Oct. 19.
    The briefing will air live on NASA Television and stream on the agency’s website.

    Researchers Predict Possible Birthplace of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko | Planetary Science, Space Exploration | Sci-News.com
    http://www.sci-news.com/space/birthplace-comet-67p-churyumov-gerasimenko-04282.html

    Using statistical analysis and computing, a duo of researchers at Western University in Canada has charted a path
    that likely pinpoints the origins of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the target comet of ESA’s recent Rosetta mission.

    NASA's MAVEN Mission Gives Unprecedented Ultraviolet View of Mars
    https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/goddard/2016/maven-uv-mars

    New global images of Mars from the MAVEN mission show the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic,
    previously invisible behavior. They include the first images of "nightglow" that can be used to show how winds circulate at high altitudes.
    Additionally, dayside ultraviolet imagery from the spacecraft shows how ozone amounts change over the seasons and how afternoon clouds form over giant
    Martian volcanoes. The images were taken by the Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph (IUVS) on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission (MAVEN).

    Pandora is seen here, in isolation beside Saturn's kinked and constantly changing F ring.

    Pandora (near upper right) is 50 miles (81 kilometers) wide. The moon has an elongated, potato-like shape (see PIA07632).

    Two faint ringlets are visible within the Encke Gap, near lower left. The gap is about 202 miles (325 kilometers) wide.
    The much narrower Keeler Gap, which lies outside the Encke Gap, is maintained by the diminutive moon Daphnis (not seen here).

    This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 23 degrees above the ring plane. The image was taken in visible
    light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 12, 2016.

    The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 907,000 miles (1.46 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-
    spacecraft, or phase, angle of 113 degrees. Image scale is 6 miles (9 kilometers) per pixel.
