Observational Mishaps   - Details
This webpage contains an image database of astronomical observations (as of this revision: only photometry) which exhibit problems one might encounter during observing runs. These problems include everything from common occurences, such as bad seeing and dust grains on the dewar window or filters, to somewhat more eccentric issues, such as the failure of primary mirror support or insects in the lightpath.

Astronomy/Astrophysics on the Internet   - Details
Welcome to AstroWeb - a collection of pointers to astronomy-related information available on the Internet. The database is maintained by the AstroWeb Consortium, a collaboration involving 9 individuals at 7 institutions. In addition to classified lists of resource records, the Consortium also provides a utility to search the AstroWeb database:

lasma Recombination Lasers in Stellar Atmospheres Y.P. Varshni and J. Talbot Strong stellar winds can produce plasma recombination lasers. Laser action occurs in many different kinds of emission line stars from the very bright Wolf-Rayet stars to the very faint quasars and central stars of planetary nebula.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System   - Details
The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant.

Astronomy Resources at STScI   - Details
The Hubble Space Telescope's dramatic glimpse of the Carina Nebula, a gigantic cloud of dust and gas bustling with star-making activity, is a glorious feast for the eyes. Energetic young stars are sculpting a fantasy landscape of bubbles, valleys, mountains, and pillars. Now this celestial fantasyland has been brought into view for people who cannot explore the image by sight.
