Deep-sky object(abbreviated as DSO) is a term designating any astronomical object that is not an individual star or Solar System object(such as Sun, Moon, planet, comet, etc.)... The classification is used for the most part by amateur astronomers to denote visually observed faint naked eye and telescopic objects such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. This distinction is practical and technical, implying a variety of instruments and techniques appropriate to observation, and does not distinguish the nature of the object itself. 2, record 4, English, - deep%2Dsky%20object

Because a magnetic field exerts a force on a charged particle, this solar field wave "breaks" over the comet, pulling on the ionized gas of the coma.

C'est à l'approche du Soleil que les glaces se subliment dans le vide, entraînant les poussières du noyau. La comète devient alors visible. Tandis que la vapeur très légère reste confinée dans la coma, les poussières sont entraînées par la pression de radiation solaire dans la direction opposée au Soleil, formant une queue caractéristique. [...] La forme de la queue ionique s'explique par la formation d'une onde de choc. À l'intérieur de ce front l'écoulement du vent solaire est freiné par l'atmosphère de la comète et produit des turbulences qui prennent l'aspect de cordes, de nœuds et de filaments qui différencient la queue ionique de la queue de poussières. En dehors du front les ions associés à la comète sont entraînés par l'écoulement général, guidés par les lignes de force engendrées par le noyau en mouvement. Les ions s'échappent ainsi de la coma pratiquement dans la direction anti-solaire en formant une longue queue distincte. 5, record 5, French, - direction%20anti%2Dsolaire

Que savons-nous de l'impacteur, qui pouvait être un astéroïde ou une comète ou même un objet mixte? [...] L'impacteur a été totalement volatilisé lors de la collision, pulvérisant la croûte terrestre tout autour du point zéro, l'énergie cinétique considérable se transformant en partie en énergie thermique. On estime que 98 ou 99 % de l'énergie ont été utilisés pour la fonte et la volatilisation de l'impacteur et de la roche cible, l'éjection des débris et aussi l'impressionnant ébranlement sismique, les 1 ou 2 % restants [...] étant disponibles pour l'ouragan et le raz-de-marée. 4, record 12, French, - corps%20impacteur

The mission was born in Zurich on 22 May 1985, when it was accepted as a Cornerstone science project by the ESA Space Science Advisory Committee. It was then known as the Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission(CNSR) and was envisaged as a collaboration with NASA. After a few years NASA's priorities changed, so the highly ambitious sample return mission evolved into a slightly less complex ESA-only mission dedicated to a comet rendezvous and two asteroid flybys. 1, record 15, English, - Comet%20Nucleus%20Sample%20Return%20Mission

NASA normally uses the Vomit Comet to train astronauts, test equipment and carry out experiments. The fun starts when the plane noses over into a steep dive, creating a free fall that simulates the weightlessness of outer space. But the price for 30 seconds of floating fun is sudden, equal doses of two Gs, or a doubling of Earth's gravity. It's the sudden reversal that causes many passengers to lose their lunch. 4, record 20, English, - Vomit%20Comet

From its close orbit above the tiny nucleus, Rosetta will be able to send back the most detailed images and information ever obtained of a comet. When a suitable landing site has been chosen, about a month after global mapping starts, the orbiter will release a 100 kg lander onto the comet's solid surface. Touchdown must be quite slow-less than one metre per second-to allow for the almost negligible gravitational pull of the tiny nucleus. In order to ensure that the lander does not bounce and disappear into space, an anchoring harpoon will be fired into the surface immediately on impact. 2, record 27, English, - anchoring%20harpoon

Penetrators as tools for exploring extraterrestrial solid surfaces have been developed for a couple of space missions to Mars, the Moon, comets, and the icy satellites of the giant planets. They are particularly useful to characterize the strength properties and the layering of planetary nearsurface layers. Being currently engaged with the development of an instrumented "anchoring harpoon" for the lander of ESA's comet mission Rosetta, we propose similar devices for application aboard future Mars lander missions. 3, record 27, English, - anchoring%20harpoon
