Seeing where stars collide

more »
Using the advanced adaptive optics system GeMS, on the Gemini South telescope, astronomers have imaged a beautiful stellar jewel-box -- a tightly packed cluster of stars that is one of the few places in our galaxy where astronomers think stars can actually collide.

Best observational evidence of first generation stars in the universe

more »
Astronomers have discovered the brightest galaxy yet found in the early Universe and found strong evidence that first generation of stars lurk within it. These previously theoretical objects were the creators of the elements necessary to forge the stars around us today, the planets that orbit them, and life as we know it. The newly found galaxy is three times brighter than the brightest distant galaxy known up to now.

Large Magellanic Cloud Superbubble in Nebula N44 Square Sticker

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

Large Magellanic Cloud Superbubble in Nebula N44 Square Sticker

tagged with: envelope sealers, awesome astronomy images, interstellar hydrogen clouds, sbsblmc, star cluster ngc 1929, supernovas, new born stars, n44 nebula, dust clouds, hot young stars, star nursery

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome photograph from deep space featuring a super bubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a small satellite of our Milky Way galaxy around 160000 light years from us.
The massive stars of this nebula produce intense radiation, expelling matter at high speeds, and race through their main stage finally to explode as supernovas. The stellar winds of charged hydrogen and other particles and the supernova shock waves carve out huge cavities called superbubbles in the surrounding gas. Blue shows hot regions created by these winds and shocks, while red shows where the dust and cooler gas are found. Yellow regions show where ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars is causing gas in the nebula to glow.

Dissolving Titan

more »

Saturn’s moon Titan is home to seas and lakes filled with liquid hydrocarbons, but what makes the depressions they lie in? A new study suggests that the moon’s surface dissolves in a similar process that creates sinkholes on Earth.

Researchers predicted existence of new quantum matter theoretically

more »
Finland's Aalto University researchers have theorized that superconducting surfaces can become topological superconductors when magnetic iron atoms are deposited on the surface in a regular pattern. They used the latest mathematical and physical models to predict the existence of a topological superconducting state on metallic superconducting surfaces and thin films. The results were recently published in the Physical Review Letters science journal.

Discovery of multiple ring-like gaps in a protoplanetary disk

more »
The Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks (SEEDS) team of astronomers, led by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), has found a close-in ring-like gap in the protoplanetary disk of gas and dust around the nearby sun-like young star, TW Hydrae (TW Hya). New Subaru Telescope images of the gap, including an earlier ring-like gap found by Hubble Space Telescope, suggest that ongoing planet formation is occurring in the disk, and provides a good picture of how the early formation of our own solar system might have looked.

Best observational evidence of first generation stars in the universe

more »
Astronomers have long theorised the existence of a first generation of stars—known as Population III stars—that were born out of the primordial material from the Big Bang. All the heavier chemical elements—such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and iron, which are essential to life—were forged in the bellies of stars. This meansthat the first stars must have formed out of the only elements to exist prior to stars: hydrogen, helium and trace amounts of lithium.
