What causes the structure in Comet Lovejoy’s tail? As the name implies, the ion tail is made of ionized gas – gas energized by ultraviolet light from the Sun and pushed outward by the solar wind. The solar wind is quite structured and sculpted by the Sun’s complex and ever changing magnetic field. The effect of the variable solar wind combined with different gas jets venting from the comet’s nucleus accounts for the tail’s complex structure. Following the wind, structure in Comet Lovejoy’s tail can be seen to move outward from the Sun even alter its wavy appearance over time. The blue color of the ion tail is dominated by recombining carbon monoxide molecules, while the green color of the coma surrounding the head of the comet is created mostly by a slight amount of recombining diatomic carbon molecules. The featured three-panel mosaic image was taken from the IRIDA Observatory in Bulgaria.

Polish Literature: The Inquietude by Grażyna Chrostowska (1921 - 1942) The day is like the inquietude of Chopin’s music, The birds, scared away from their nests are circling Low above the earth, They are listening, afraid…
Quietness in the nature, warmth is like before a storm. From the West, low, dark clouds flow. Waylaid fear strikes into the heart. Homesickness, homesickness…
I want to walk on soggy roads, Listen to the sound of wind, Hunt the breath of spring time, Feel the deepest feeling, Find quietness in love.
I am walking, unable to find, keep changing and returning. Somewhere far a way, village hamlets are left behind.
Clouds flew to the East, And on the east side, Lonely, leaning, dark trees endure, In the wind, and in the quietness, They are swung by the inquietude.
■ Grażyna Chrostowska was born on 21 October, 1921 in Lublin, Poland. She was a member of the underground KOP (Komenda Obrońców Polski) organization during the Nazi Germany occupation of Poland. She was arrested by Gestapo in Lublin on 8 May, 1941. Together with her sister she was sent to the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp on 23 September, 1941. On 18 April, 1942, Grażyna Chrostowska (aged 21) and her sister were executed by firing squad in the camp. 8 hours before her death, she wrote the poem titled “The Inquietude” (Niepokój).

Will either of these galaxies survive? In what might be dubbed as a semi-final round in a galactic elimination tournament, the two spirals of NGC 7318 are colliding. The featured picture was created from images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. When galaxies crash into each other, many things may happen including gravitational distortion, gas condensing to produce new episodes of star formation, and ultimately the two galaxies combining into one. Since these two galaxies are part of Stephan’s Quintet, a final round of battling galaxies will likely occur over the next few billion years with the eventual result of many scattered stars and one large galaxy. Quite possibly, the remaining galaxy will not be easily identified with any of its initial galactic components. Stephan’s Quintet was the first identified galaxy group, lies about 300 million light years away, and is visible through a moderately-sized telescope toward the constellation of the Winged Horse (Pegasus).
