Right ascension and Declination are the coordinates of the Celestial Sphere. They are analogous to longitude
and latitude on Earth.

Hubble Space Telescope: Gravitational lens G2237 + 0305, sometimes referred to as the "Einstein Cross".
The photograph shows four images of a very distant quasar which has been multiple-imaged by a relatively nearby galaxy acting as a gravitational lens.
The quasar seen here is at a distance of approximately 8 billion light years, whereas the galaxy at a distance of 400 million light years is 20 times closer. The light from the
quasar is bent in its path by the gravitational field of the galaxy. The bright central region of the galaxy is seen as the diffuse central object.

Kirchoff's LawsBlackbody Spectrum 1. A luminous solid or liquid, or a sufficiently dense gas, emits light of all wavelengths and so produces a continuous spectrum of radiation.Emission Line Spectrum 2. A low-density, hot gas emits light whose spectrum consists of a series of bright emission lines. These lines are characteristic of the chemical composition of the gas.Absorption Spectrum 3. A cool, thin gas absorbs certain wavelengths from a continuous spectrum, leaving dark absorption lines in their place, superimposed on the continuous spectrum. Once again, these lines are characteristic of the composition of the intervening gas--they occur at precisely the same wavelengths as the emission lines produced by that gas at higher temperatures.

Photon is another word for light
When an electron changes its position in an atoma photon is produced or absorbed.
Like doesn't always just act like a wave. Sometimes it acts like a particle, like a billiard ball on a pool table.
When light acts like a particle, it's generally referred to as a photon.
