Physics returns to the LHC at new energies
Science Focus
original post »Earlier today, science returned to the tunnels of the LHC with the first collisions dedicated to physics in over two years. At 10:40am local time (4:40am EDT), detectors started taking data from 13 Tera-electronVolt collisions.
These weren't the first protons we've accelerated to these energies; they weren't even the first collisions at these energies. For the past several weeks, the machine's operators have been ensuring that all the upgraded hardware in the system behaved as expected and gained experience with controlling protons at these energies. As part of that process, some collisions were performed to check out the relevant hardware. Since the collisions were happening anyway, the teams behind the detectors captured what was happening.
The real change today is that the collisions weren't performed in order to test any hardware—they were purely done to gather data. And the detectors were definitely capturing data.

Star Birth in Constellation Cygnus, The Swan Square Sticker
Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space
tagged with: envelope sealers, nebulae, gstlnrsr, rcw120, breathtaking astronomy images, star nurseries, ionised gas clouds, star forming regions, european southern observatory, clusters of stars, galaxies, eso, vista
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous star forming region in Constellation Cygnus (The Swan). This Hubble image shows a dust-rich, interstellar gas cloud with a new-born star in the centre of the hour-glass shape. The glowing blue of the hydrogen in this nebula is due to the jets being emitted from the forming star as dust falls into into it and this causes the heating and turbulence of the hydrogen. The star, known as S106 IR, is reaching the end of its birth and will soon enter the much quieter period of adulthood known as the main stage.

NASA Stormy Colorful Hubble Astronomy Case iPad Cases
Here's a great iPad case from Zazzle featuring a Hubble-related design. Maybe you'd like to see your name on it? Click to personalize and see what it's like!
tagged with: hubble, nasa, space, exploration, astronomy, night, sky, stars, milkyway, psychedelic, trippy
Like the fury of a raging sea, this anniversary image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a bubbly ocean of glowing hydrogen, oxygen, and sulphur gas in the extremely massive and luminous molecular nebula Messier 17. This Hubble photograph captures a small region within Messier 17 (M17), a hotbed of star formation. M17, also known as the Omega or Swan Nebula, is located about 5500 light-years away in the Sagittarius constellation.

Carina Nebula - Breathtaking Universe Square Sticker
Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space
tagged with: stlrnrsry, star clusters, galaxies, awesome astronomy pictures, constellation puppis, the stern, star nurseries, nebulae, outer space exploration, universe photographs, starfields, european southern observatory, eso, vista
The image, looking like a colourful cosmic ghost or a gigantic celestial Mandrill, contains the open clusters Haffner 18 (centre) and Haffner 19 (middle right: it is located inside the smaller pink region - the lower eye of the Mandrill), as well as vast areas of ionised gas.
The bright star at the centre of the largest pink region on the bottom of the image is HD 64315, a massive young star that is helping shaping the structure of the whole nebular region.

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series
A gorgeous set of oval stickers showing the area surrounding the stellar cluster NGC 2467, located in the southern constellation of Puppis ("The Stern"). With an age of a few million years at most, it is a very active stellar nursery, where new stars are born continuously from large clouds of dust and gas.The image, looking like a colourful cosmic ghost or a gigantic celestial Mandrill, contains the open clusters Haffner 18 (centre) and Haffner 19 (middle right: it is located inside the smaller pink region - the lower eye of the Mandrill), as well as vast areas of ionised gas.

Saturn's moon Titan is home to seas and lakes filled with liquid hydrocarbons, but what forms the depressions on the surface? A new study suggests the moon's surface dissolves in a process that's similar to the creation of sinkholes on Earth.
