North pole by satellite - 14 September 2007 - Arctic minimum sea ice extent - September 14, 2007. - Ice coverage in Arctic regions 14 September 2007. The area of the pack ice has been at a minimum since the first satellite observations. This image shows the minimum sea ice extent that occurred on September 14, 2007. Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover. The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - almost 25% less than the previous low set in 2005. The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous rec

The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover. The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - almost 25% less than the previous low set in 2005. The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous rec

Galaxy M82 in the Great Bear seen in X-rays - The galaxy M82 seen in X-ray - Image obtained by Chandra in X-rays, reveals a cloud (in red) of very hot gas of several million degres emitted from the central regions of the galaxy. M82 is an irregular galaxy distant about 12 million years - light from Earth. Its nucleus, which appears to have suffered from the passage of the neighbouring galaxy M81, is in a phase of violent star activity. Its central regions are rich in star formation. These hot stars blow a stellar wind that becomes a very violent galactic wind. Chandra's X - ray image reveals gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by the violent outflow of matter blasting out of the galaxy. The eruption can be traced back to the central regions of the galaxy where stars are forming at a furious rate, some 10 times faster than in the Milky Way Galaxy. Many of these newly formed stars are very massive and race through their evolution to explode as supernovas. Vigorous mass loss f

Passengers on RMS Titanic. Photograph of Lady Duff-Gordon (Duff Gordon) (Madame Lucile) who was rescued and has given a vivid account of her experiences. She left in one of the last boats and said that panic had begun to seize some of the remaining passengers by the time her boat was lowered. She reported that 'Everyone seemed to be rushing for that boat. A few men who crowded in were turned back at the point of Captain Smith's revolver, and several of them were felled before order was restored. I recall being pushed towards one of the boats and being helped in.' Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and later sank on April 15th, 1912 off the coast of New Foundland after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.

He was the son of James Rostron, from Bolton, Lancashire, educated at Bolton High School and the Bolton Church Institute, and later went on board the Conway naval training ship in the Mersey. He was taken in to the service of the Cunard company and for a long time was chiefly employed in the Mediterranean. He was an officer in the Royal Naval Reserve and had decorations for long service and the King's medal for his safe conveyance of troops to South Africa during the south African War.

John George 'Jack' Phillips Wireless Operator on Titanic. Jack Philips was born in Farncombe, Surrey, on 11th April 1887. Phillips was educated locally and, after learning telegraphy, at a post office, he began working for the Marconi company. He was serving as senior wireless operator on board Titanic, which sank on 15th April 1912. As Titanic was sinking, Phillips worked tirelessly to send wireless messages to nearby ships for help. While Phillips has borne criticism for having told the radio operator of the Californian 'Shut up! I am busy, I am working Cape Race!' when interrupted on-air by his counterpart telling him that his ship was surrounded by ice, similar warning messages earlier that day had been delivered to the captain and a lookout had been posted. He did not survive.

Tyndall Glacier is located in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. This glacier, which has a total area of 331 square kilometers and a length of 32 kilometers (based on 1996 measurements), begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in Lago Geikie. The digital astronaut photograph taken in november 2007 records visible light in red, green, and blue wavelengths (true color). The Tyndall Glacier terminus has retreated significantly during the past 17 years.

I was in command, but I had to row and I wanted someone at the tiller.

The celestial maternity ward, called N81, is located 200,000 light - years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a small irregular satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. Hubble's exquisite resolution allows astronomers to pinpoint 50 separate stars tightly packed in the nebula's core within a 10 light - year diameter - slightly more than twice the distance between earth and the nearest star to our sun.

But on the other hand -726 buildings are among 3,000 structures in the city Rajuk and Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) marked as highly risky. A six-storey brick and lime building that collapsed june 20, 2004 killing 11 people was among the 32 built without any design. But unofficial sources said the number is much higher because Rajuk enlists an old building as vulnerable only when someone complaints about it.

A planetary nebula forms when Sun - like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers that form bright nebulae with amazing and confounding shapes. In 1994, Hubble first revealed NGC 6543's surprisingly intricate structures, including concentric gas shells, jets of high - speed gas, and unusual shock - induced knots of gas. As if the Cat's Eye itself isn't spectacular enough, this new image taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) reveals the full beauty of a bull's eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat's Eye. Each 'ring' is actually the edge of a spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky - - that's why it appears bright along its outer edge.

Planetary nebula CRL 2688 dans le Swan/HST - This image of the Egg Nebula, also known as CRL2688 and located roughly 3,000 light - years from us, was taken in red light with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope.The image shows a pair of mysterious “” searchlight” beams emerging from a hidden star, criss - Yeah. crossed by numerous bright arcs. This image sheds new light on the poorly understood ejection of stellar matter which accompanies the slow death of Sun - like stars. The image is shown in false color. The central star in CRL2688 was a red giant a few hundred years ago. The nebula is really a large cloud of dust and gas ejected by the star, expanding at a speed of 20 km/s (115,000 mph). A dense cocoon of dust (the dark band in the image center) enshrouds the star and hides it from our view. Starlight escapes more easily in directions where the cocoon is thinner, and is reflected towards us by dust particles in the cloud, giving it its

Mr Charles Melville Hays, passenger on the Titanic, was 55 - born at Rock Island, Illinois, USA, on 16 May 1856. He was educated at the public schools of Rock Island, and went to work for the Atlantic and Pacific Railway when he was 17. At 22 he was appointed secretary to the Manager of the Missouri Pacific Railway. In 1896 he moved to Montreal to become general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. It was Hays who convinced the Canadian Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, of the need for a second transcontinental railroad. Hays and his wife and daughter were on the Titanic and when it struck the iceberg. As he put his wife and daughter into a lifeboat, he assured them Titanic would stay 'afloat for at least 10 hours' - he never believed it would sink so quickly. Hays drowned in the disaster, but the Minia recovered his body on 26 April. His coffin was brought back to Montreal for burial aboard his private railway car, Canada. The car is still preserved and on display at the C
