The material falling into a black hole emits light in narrow wavelength regions. The double set of broad emission lines is pretty conclusive evidence of two black holes. Todd Boroson and Tod Lauer from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).

Marois, Lafrenière and two collaborators reanalyzed the 11-year-old Hubble images of HR 8799. After subtracting the scattered starlight estimated from the new model, the astronomers recovered the outermost of the trio of planets recently imaged, the team reports online at arXiv.org (http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/0902.3247)

The pulsar, PSR J0108-1431 (J0108 for short) is about 200 million years old.it is over 10 times older than the previous record holder.

in 2001, a team of scientists from Japan drilled a 122 meter ice core sample in Antarctica. At a depth of about 50 metres, corresponding to the 11th century, they found three nitrogen oxide spikes, two of which were 48 years apart and easily identifiable as belonging to SN 1006 and SN 1054.
