New Horizons begins Pluto flyby [Updated]
Science Focus
original post »New Horizons, after almost 10 years and 3 billion miles travelled, is all ready for its historic flyby of Pluto. If everything goes to plan, on Tuesday morning NASA's probe will pass within just 7,770 miles (12,500 kilometres) of Pluto's surface, finally completing humanity's reconnaissance of the classical nine planets.
As of Monday morning, New Horizons was about 1 million miles away from Pluto. As the probe nears the dwarf planet on Tuesday morning, it will go radio silent as it prepares for the money shot. At 12:49pm BST (7:49am EDT) on Tuesday, New Horizons will make its closest approach, buzzing by at 30,800mph (49,600km/h). New Horizons' myriad sensors and imagers will capture as much data as possible during this period, which will last a few hours. As long as nothing goes wrong, a radio link will be re-established at 1:53am BST on Wednesday morning—20:53 EDT Tuesday—and all of those delicious images will start to stream back to Earth.

Cats Eye Nebula Square Sticker
Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space
tagged with: nebulae, amazing astronomy images, tcenebnch, hubble chandra images, cats eye nebula, stellar evolution, dying star, red giant evolution, galaxies, outer space pictures, stars, nasa
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous design featuring a composite image of the Cat's Eye nebula from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.
This famous nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution after a star like our Sun runs out of fuel. In this phase, a star becomes an expanding red giant and sheds some of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that collapses to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful filamentary structures.

Infrared Trifid
more »
The Trifid Nebula, also known as Messier 20, is easy to find with a small telescope, a well known stop in the nebula rich constellation Sagittarius. But where visible light pictures show the nebula divided into three parts by dark, obscuring dust lanes, this penetrating infrared image reveals filaments of glowing dust clouds and newborn stars. The spectacular false-color view is courtesy of the Spitzer Space Telescope. Astronomers have used the Spitzer infrared image data to count newborn and embryonic stars which otherwise can lie hidden in the natal dust and gas clouds of this intriguing stellar nursery. As seen here, the Trifid is about 30 light-years across and lies only 5,500 light-years away.

Pluto’s Atmosphere Is Thinner Than Expected, but Still Looks Hazy

Stellar Nursery R136 in the Tarantula Nebula iPad Air Cover
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: astronomy, stellar nursery, massive stars, star cluster, tarantula nebula, hubble, galaxy stars, cosmological, 30 doradus nebula, hrbstslr dorneblmc, large magellanic cloud, r136, amazing hubble images, nebulae
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.

Stellar Nurseries RCW120 Square Sticker
Here's a great sheet of stickers featuring a beautiful image from deep space
tagged with: envelope sealers, star clusters, nebulae, gstlnrsr, breathtaking astronomy images, star nurseries, inspirational stars, ionised gas clouds, star forming regions, hrbstslr rcw120, galaxies, starfields, heavens, eso, european southern observatory, vista
It reveals how an expanding bubble of ionised gas about ten light-years across is causing the surrounding material to collapse into dense clumps where new stars are then formed.
The 870-micron submillimetre-wavelength data were taken with the LABOCA camera on the 12-m Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope. Here, the submillimetre emission is shown as the blue clouds surrounding the reddish glow of the ionised gas (shown with data from the SuperCosmos H-alpha survey). The image also contains data from the Second Generation Digitized Sky Survey (I-band shown in blue, R-band shown in red).
