•  SS 433

  SS 433 is one of the most exotic star systems observed. It is an eclipsing X-ray binary system, with the primary most likely a black hole, or possibly a neutron star. The spectrum of the secondary companion star suggests that it is a late A-type star. SS 433 is a microquasar, the first discovered. SS 433's designation comes from its discoverers, Case Western Reserve astronomers Nicholas Sanduleak and C. Bruce Stephenson.

•  W50 (nebula)

  Supernova remnant W50 or SNR G039.7-02.0 lies 16,000 light years away, in the constellation of Aquila. At its heart lies the unusual star SS 433, whose jets are distorting the remnant, by burning it away.

•  HD 192263

  HD 192263 is an 8th magnitude star about 65 light years away in the constellation of Aquila. The spectral type of the star is K2V, meaning that it is an orange dwarf, a type of star somewhat cooler and less luminous than our Sun. It is not visible to the unaided eye, but with good binoculars or small telescope it should be easy to spot. Various companions for the star have been reported, but all of them are probably line-of-sight optical components or just spurious observations.

•  W49B

  W49B or SNR G043.3-00.2 or 3C 398 is a nebula and is thought to be a remnant of a gamma-ray burster. If so, it is the first one found. W49B is barrel-shaped and located roughly 35,000 light-years from Earth. Recent findings indicate infrared "rings" (about 25 light-years in diameter) around the "barrel", and also indicate intense X-ray radiation coming from nickel and iron along its axis.

•  Ice bike

  Winter biking (also referred to as snowbiking or icebiking) is the activity of cycling in winter weather with snow, ice, and slush. As in warm months, people bike in winter for several reasons. Bike commuters cycle to work for exercise or to save on parking and gasoline costs. Recreational snow or ice-bikers include off-road bikers who ride on snowmobile trails with underinflated, fat tires and ice-bikers who use frozen streams, ponds, or rivers, or who race on iced-over lakes.
