Monogram Brightest Supernova Ever space picture Hanging Lamps

Here's a gorgeous lamp featuring a beautiful image from deep in outer space.

Monogram Brightest Supernova Ever space picture Hanging Lamps

tagged with: astronomy pictures, outer space, star galaxies, sn1006c, supernova explosions, brightest supernova, exploding white dwarf, neutron star, deep space astronomy, monogram initials, supernova bursts, supernovae space bubble

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series Just over a thousand years ago, the stellar explosion known as supernova SN 1006 was observed. It was brighter than Venus, and visible during the day for weeks. The brightest supernova ever recorded on Earth, this spectacular light show was documented in China, Japan, Europe, and the Arab world.
Ancient observers were treated to this celestial fireworks display without understanding its cause or implications. Astronomers now understand that SN 1006 was caused by a white dwarf star that captured mass from a companion star until the white dwarf became unstable and exploded. Recent observations of the remnant of SN 1006 reveal the liberation of elements such as iron that were previously locked up inside the star. Because no material falls back into a neutron star or black hole after this type of supernova explosion, the liberation of this star's contents is complete. It represents, therefore, a cosmic version of Independence Day for this star.
This is a composite image of the SN 1006 supernova remnant, which is located about 7000 light years from Earth. Shown here are X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), optical data from the University of Michigan's 0.9 meter Curtis Schmidt telescope at the NSF's Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO; yellow) and the Digitized Sky Survey (orange and light blue), plus radio data from the NRAO's Very Large Array and Green Bank Telescope (VLA/GBT; red).
This combined study of the Chandra, CTIO and VLA/GBT observations shows new evidence for the acceleration of charged particles to high energies in supernova shockwaves. An accompanying Hubble Space Telescope image of SN 1006 shows a close-up of the region on the upper right of the supernova remnant. The twisting ribbon of light seen by Hubble reveals where the expanding blast wave is sweeping into very tenuous surrounding gas.

Monogram Starry Wingtip of Small Magellanic Cloud Desk Lamps

Here's a gorgeous lamp featuring a beautiful image from deep in outer space.

Monogram Starry Wingtip of Small Magellanic Cloud Desk Lamps

tagged with: small magellanic cloud, star galaxies, starry, outer space picture, wismcg, monogram initials, deep space image, galactic, universe exploration, deep space astronomy

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series The tip of the "wing" of the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy is dazzling in this new view from NASA's Great Observatories. The Small Magellanic Cloud, or SMC, is a small galaxy about 200,000 light-years way that orbits our own Milky Way spiral galaxy.
The colors represent wavelengths of light across a broad spectrum. X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in purple; visible-light from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is colored red, green and blue; and infrared observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope are also represented in red.
The spiral galaxy seen in the lower corner is actually behind this nebula. Other distant galaxies located hundreds of millions of light-years or more away can be seen sprinkled around the edge of the image.
The SMC is one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors. Even though it is a small, or so-called dwarf galaxy, the SMC is so bright that it is visible to the unaided eye from the Southern Hemisphere and near the equator. Many navigators, including Ferdinand Magellan who lends his name to the SMC, used it to help find their way across the oceans.

Graphene Live! USA 2013

more »

Last week, Graphenea participated in Graphene Live! USA 2013. Jesús de la Fuente, our CEO, gave an invited talk at the “Graphene in Energy Storage Applications” part of the event. The audience was treated to an overview of the applications of graphene for:

• Lithium ion batteries


• Supercapacitors


• Fuel cells


• Redox flow batteries

To close the presentation, Jesús talked about “Ultrathin rechargeable all-solid-state batteries based on monolayer graphene”, Graphenea's recent publication in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. The paper is a result of a success story of using graphene for an energy storage application.

The battery described in the work has a total thickness of only 50 micrometers. This ultrathin battery showed a maximum energy density of 10 W h L^-1, and a maximum power density of 300 W L^-1 , higher than most other batteries have shown. It also showed excellent cyclic stability, meaning that battery quality remains high even after many charge-discharge cycles. The battery sustained a discharge current density of 100 mA cm² over 100 cycles, maintaining energy capacity over 0.02 mA h cm². This work was performed in collaboration with Nokia.

Graphene Live! is the largest series of events focusing on applications of graphene, and one of the biggest graphene conferences overall. This year, the event brought together users, material providers, equipment makers, policymakers, academics and investors from more than 30 countries. Graphene Live! USA 2013 was held in Santa Clara (CA), attracting 160 exhibitors, over 200 presentations, and approximately 2,200 attendees. Exhibitor attendance grew by 50% and the number of attendees grew by 35% compared to the previous year. The event was hosted by IDTechEx and was co-located alongside Printed Electronics USA and OLEDs Live! USA.

The main topics (graphene applications) discussed at the conference were touch screens and ITO replacement, energy storage (supercapacitors and batteries), logic and memory, graphene composites, functional inks and sensors, and bio-electronics. The next Graphene Live! event will be held at the beginning of April 2014 in Berlin.

Dumbbell Nebula in Taurus Oval Stickers

Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space

Dumbbell Nebula in Taurus Oval Stickers

tagged with: awesome astronomy images, inspirational, dmbblneb, vulpecula constellation, intense ultraviolet radiation, messier 27 ngc 6853, heavens, stars, dumbbell nebula, the fox constellation, european southern observatory, eso, vista

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A great photo from deep space featuring the Dumbbell Nebula - also known as Messier 27 or NGC 6853. It's a typical planetary nebula and is located in the constellation Vulpecula (The Fox).

The distance is rather uncertain, but is believed to be around 1,200 light-years. It was first described by the French astronomer and comet hunter Charles Messier who found it in 1764 and included it as no. 27 in his famous list of extended sky objects.

Despite its class, the Dumbbell Nebula has nothing to do with planets. It consists of very rarefied gas that has been ejected from the hot central star (well visible on this photo), now in one of the last evolutionary stages. The gas atoms in the nebula are excited (heated) by the intense ultraviolet radiation from this star and emit strongly at specific wavelengths.

This image is the beautiful by-product of a technical test of some FORS1 narrow-band optical interference filters. They only allow light in a small wavelength range to pass and are used to isolate emissions from particular atoms and ions.

In this three-colour composite, a short exposure was first made through a wide-band filter registering blue light from the nebula. It was then combined with exposures through two interference filters in the light of double-ionized oxygen atoms and atomic hydrogen. They were colour-coded as “blue”, “green” and “red”, respectively, and then combined to produce this picture that shows the structure of the nebula in “approximately true” colours.
