Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous outer space picture featuring the Wreath Nebula, located in our Milky way near the boundary between the constellations of Perseus and Taurus.
Tiny particles of dust, glowing warmly in the energy being radiated by the new-born star are similar to those in the composition of our Earthly smog. The red cloud is cooler than its environs and likely comprises more metallic elements as well.

NASA Curiosity: First Mars age measurement and human exploration help

more »

NASA's Curiosity rover is providing vital insight about Mars' past and current environments that will aid plans for future robotic and human missions. In a little more than a year on the Red Planet, the mobile Mars Science Laboratory has determined the age of a Martian rock, found evidence the planet could have sustained microbial life, taken the first readings of radiation on the surface, and shown how natural erosion could reveal the building blocks of life.

More light shed on possibility of life on Mars

more »

Humankind is by nature inquisitive, especially about the prospect of life on other planets and whether or not we are alone. The aptly named Curiosity, a NASA Mars rover, has been scouring that planet's surface as a potential habitat for life, either past or present. Now there are some exciting new findings.

CERN DG gives input to UN sustainable development planning

CERN’s Director General Rolf Heuer is in New York today to give input to the United Nations’ sustainable development planning. This process aims to provide new Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, to follow on from the Millennium Development Goals.

In his submission to the UN Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, Professor Heuer focuses on the need for sustained and ring-fenced support for scientific research, and education in the so-called STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. He also points out that while applied R&D is frequently carried out in the private sector, the public sector needs to guarantee the fundamental science base, since basic and applied science are linked in a virtuous circle: from basic science springs applied research, which not only brings benefit to society, but also delivers more powerful tools back to basic research.

Professor Heuer is urging the working group to include SDGs that set a minimum target for a nation’s global public and private sector investment in science and STEM education as a fixed percentage of GDP. Within this target, he further argues that funding of basic science and STEM education should be guaranteed from the public purse.

The UN Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals is composed of country representatives and is currently in the information-gathering phase. It will hear submissions from representatives of all sectors of society up to February 2014. Then, in September next year, the UN Secretary-General will present the SDGs for consideration by the UN General Assembly with a view to adoption in 2015.

Monogram - Stellar Nursery R136, Tarantula Nebula Sticker

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

Monogram - Stellar Nursery R136, Tarantula Nebula Sticker

tagged with: stars, galaxies, astronomy, galaxy, envelope sealers, dorneblmc, stellar nursery, r136, massive stars, large magellanic cloud, star cluster, amazing hubble images, tarantula nebula, monogram initials, 30 doradus nebula

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series Hundreds of brilliant blue stars wreathed by warm, glowing clouds in appear in this the most detailed view of the largest stellar nursery in our local galactic neighborhood. The massive, young stellar grouping, called R136, is only a few million years old and resides in the 30 Doradus (or Tarantula) Nebula, a turbulent star-birth region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
There is no known star-forming region in our galaxy as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus. Many of the diamond-like icy blue stars are among the most massive stars known. Several of them are over 100 times more massive than our Sun. These hefty stars are destined to pop off, like a string of firecrackers, as supernovas in a few million years. The image, taken in ultraviolet, visible, and red light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, spans about 100 light-years.
The movement of the LMC around the Milky Way may have triggered the massive cluster's formation in several ways. The gravitational tug of the Milky Way and the companion Small Magellanic Cloud may have compressed gas in the LMC. Also, the pressure resulting from the LMC plowing through the Milky Way's halo may have compressed gas in the satellite. The cluster is a rare, nearby example of the many super star clusters that formed in the distant, early universe, when star birth and galaxy interactions were more frequent.
The LMC is located 170,000 light-years away and is a member of the Local Group of Galaxies, which also includes the Milky Way. The Hubble observations were taken Oct. 20-27, 2009. The blue color is light from the hottest, most massive stars; the green from the glow of oxygen; and the red from fluorescing hydrogen.

tagged with: monogram initials, star galaxies, outer space picture, deep space astronomy, interstellar gas clouds, new born stars, tnitac, tadpole nebula, auriga constellation, hrftpraz, star nursery, dust cloud astronomy, star forming activity, hot young stars

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome outer space picture featuring the Tadpole Nebula, a star forming hub located about 12000 light years away in the Auriga constellation.
This nebula is brimming with new-born stars, many as young as only a million years of age. It's called the Tadpole nebula because the masses of hot, young stars are blasting out ultraviolet radiation that has etched the gas into two tadpole-shaped pillars, called Sim 129 and130, the yellow forms that seem to be swimming away from the three red stars close to the centre of the picture.
