Description
We present observational evidence, from Hαin face-on galaxies, which strongly favours the hypothesis that escaping photons from H II regions are the basic cause of the ionization of the diffuse ionized gas in galaxy discs, and by implication are the chief cause of the Reynolds layer in the Milky Way, and refer the reader to models based on these observations which go further, geometrically, to confirm this conclusion.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    NEOMIR: project statut of ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
