Beta Pictoris b - Artist's view of Beta Pictoris b, a giant exoplanet with a mass equivalent to 9 times the mass of Jupiter orbiting the star Beta Pictoris. This artist's impression shows how the planet inside the disc of Beta Pictoris may look. Only 12 million years old, or less than three - thousandths of the age of the Sun, Beta Pictoris is 75% more massive than our parent star. It is located about 60 light - years away towards the constellation of Pictor (the Painter) and is one of the best - known examples of a star surrounded by a dusty debris disc. Earlier observations showed a warp of the disc, a secondary inclined disc and comets falling onto the star, all indirect, but tell - tale signs that strongly suggested the presence of a massive planet. Observations done with the NACO instrument on Eso's Very Large Telescope in 2003, 2008 and 2009, have proven the presence of a planet around Beta Pictoris. It is located at a distance between 8 and 15 times the Earth - Sun separation -

Elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 and distant galaxies - Elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 and distant galaxies - The elliptical galaxy NGC 4881 (upper left) is about 300 million years away - light from Earth. NGC 4881 is located in the Coma galaxy cluster that contains at least 1,000 galaxies and is five times farther from us than the Virgin's cluster. Almost all the objects visible in this photo are located far behind the Coma cluster, except for the spiral galaxy to the right of Ngc 4881. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1994. This photo mosaic, which shows a field of distant galaxies, is a computer enhanced reproduction of a picture taken 4 March 1994 with the repaired Hubble Space Telescope. The brightest object in this picture is NGC 4881. It is a 13th - magnitude elliptical galaxy in the outskirts of the Coma Cluster, a great cluster of galaxies more than 5 times farther away than the Virgo Cluster. Except for a 16th - magnitude Coma spiral at the right and a few foreground sta

Hourglass Nebula in M8 - The Hourglass Nebula in M8, NGC 6523 - View of the Hourglass Nebula in the heart of the Lagoon Nebula (M8/NGC 6523). Located in Sagittarius, at a distance of 5800 light years, it is a region of star formation whose gases are excited mainly by two massive supergeant stars Herschel 36 and 9 Sagittarii. Image made with the 1.5m Danish telescope of La Silla in Chile. At the heart of the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius lies the diminutive Hourglass Nebula. Its gases are excited primarily by two massive O-type supergiants designated Herschel 36 and 9 Sagittarii. These two stars lie to the west of NGC 6530 and are separated from it by a dark lane which divides the nebula like a black lagoon, giving it its name. Twisted funnel shaped clouds are visible close to the illuminating stars, especially Herschel 36. The twists are due to shear forces between the hot excited gases at the surface and the cold interior of the clouds. These stars are probably less than 10,000 years o

The Lactee Way - Milky Way and Atacama Andes - The Lactee Way over the Atacama Desert. Visible on the horizon near the middle of the image the Chajnantor (5639m) and its platform or the ALMA radio telescope is currently under construction. Mosaic with 3 images placed 1 minute each. June 2008. The Milky Way is rising majestically above the Chilean Atacama Andes in the San Pedro de Atacama region. Most of the peaks visible in the landscape background have altitudes above 5000m and even 6000m for some of them. Almost in the middle of the image are the Chajnantor mountain (5639 m) and plateau (5300 m) where the ALMA radio telescope project is being built. Note that is image is a one-shot image (in fact a mosaique made of 3 one-shot images), there is no background/foreground composition made here, or composition of pictures made with different exposure times etc... instead, the author choose the date and time at which the picture was taken in order to have the landscape and observer lit up

Artwork: Artist's view of Beta Pictoris b, a giant exoplanet with a mass equivalent to 9 times the mass of Jupiter orbit around the star Beta Pictoris. This artist's impression shows how the planet inside the disc of Beta Pictoris may look. Only 12 million years old, or less than three-thousandths of the age of the Sun, Beta Pictoris is 75% more massive than our parent star. It is located about 60 light-years away towards the constellation of Pictor (the Painter) and is one of the best-known examples of a star surrounded by a dusty debris disc. Earlier observations showed a warp of the disc, a secondary inclined disc and comets falling onto the star, all indirect, but tell-tale signs that strongly suggested the presence of a massive planet. Observations done with the NACO instrument on Eso's Very Large Telescope in 2003, 2008 and 2009, have proven the presence of a planet around Beta Pictoris. It is located at a distance between 8 and 1

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

Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, stands in the shadow of the Lunar Module (LM) behind the ultraviolet (UV) camera which is in operation. This photograph was taken by astronaut John W. Young, commander, during the mission's second extravehicular activity (EVA). The UV camera's gold surface is designed to maintain the correct temperature. The astronauts set the prescribed angles of azimuth and elevation (here 14 degrees for photography of the large Magellanic Cloud) and pointed the camera. Over 180 photographs and spectra in far - ultraviolet light were obtained showing clouds of hydrogen and other gases and several thousand stars.

Exoplanete in formation - NGC 2547-ID8: Illustration of the collision between two asteroids in the habitable zone of the star NGC 2547-ID8. This could result in an accretion-forming rocky exoplanet. Planets, including those like our own Earth, form from epic collisions between asteroids and even bigger bodies, called proto-planets. Sometimes the colliding bodies are ground to dust, and sometimes they stick together to ultimately form larger, mature planets. This artist's conception shows one such smash-up. Spitzer's infrared vision detected a huge eruption around the star NGC 2547-ID8 between August 2012 and 2013. Scientists think the dust was kicked up by a massive collision between two large asteroids. They say the smashup took place in the star's “” terrestrial zone,””” the region around stars where rocky planets like Earth take shape. NGC 2547-ID8 is a sun-like star located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Vela. It is about 35 million years old, the same age

Construction of this European project could start in 2010, with a planned inauguration around 2017. Its main mirror will consist of 906 hexagonal mirrors assembled together, and its total surface will be equal to that of a football field. With a 42 - m diameter primary mirror, the present baseline, its total rotating mass is 5500 tons. The two platforms on each side of the structure hold large instruments. The telescope features a novel, innovative design, based on 5 mirrors. The primary 42 - m mirror is composed of 906 segments, each 1.45 m wide, while the secondary mirror is as large as 6 m in diameter. A tertiary mirror, 4.2 m in diameter, relays the light to the adaptive optics system, composed of two mirrors: a 2.5 - m mirror supported by 5000 or more actuators so as to be able to

M81 is the brightest member of the nearby galactic group called the M81 group. This group contains at least 25 other members including the peculiar starburst galaxy M82, the peculiar galaxy NGC 3077 and many dwarfs galaxies. The core galaxies of the group (M81, M82, NGC 3077, NGC 2976) are strongly interacting and are all imbedded within a large and extended molecular gas cloud. The Dwarf irregular Holmberg IX (seen above M81 in the image) most likely condensed from tidal debri existing between M81 and M82. M81 has the distinction of being the nearest spiral galaxy to have an active galactic nucleus (AGN). AGN galaxies are luminous galaxies that demonstrate

A shooting star indicates the South Pole to the horizon to the left of the image. The north pole is on the right horizon. This image is an unprecedented star trail image taken from the Equator (this imaginary line that splits the Earth into the two hemispheres) in Ecuador (the country). If you stand on the Equator line you can see the Southern Pole at the horizon to the South (left of the image) and the Northern pole at the horizon on the opposite direction. The Earth rotation will make all the sky and stars look like they rotate around these two points, making them appear as concentric circles (which look like ellipses on this distorsioning fish eye image).

This beautiful, arc - like rim of nebulosity is in the far southern sky, out of sight from most of the USA and Europe. It is quite faint and has often been overlooked because of it, even by southern observers. However, it is in a rich region in Scorpius. This richness is reflected in the number of names associated with the objects in the field illustrated here. There is a large scattered star cluster, Collinder 316 which extends over most of the picture.

Planetary Nebula Hen - 1357 dans l'Altar/HST - This Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 image captures the infancy of the Stingray nebula (Hen - 1357), the youngest known planetary nebula. In this image, the bright central star is in the middle of the green ring of gas. Its companion star is diagonally above it at 10 o'clock. A spur of gas (green) is forming a faint bridge to the companion star due to gravitational attraction. The image also shows a ring of gas (green) surrounding the central star, with bubbles of gas to the lower left and upper right of the ring. The wind of material propelled by radiation from the hot central star has created enough pressure to blow open holes in the ends of the bubbles, allowing gas to escape. The red curved lines represent bright gas that is heated by a “” shock””” caused when the central star's wind hits the walls of the bubbles. The nebula is as large as 130 solar systems, but, at its distance of 18,000 light - years, it appears only as big as a di

Supernova 1987A in the Great Magellan Cloud before and after explosion - Sometime during 23 February 1987 a supernova exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a nearby galaxy. However, the LMC is about 170,000 light years distant, so the supernova exploded 170,000 years ago. It was discovered the following day and brightened rapidly to become the first supernova to be easily visible to the unaided eye for almost 400 years. This photograph shows the field around the site of the supernova in great detail, both before the supernova exploded (right) and about 10 days afterwards, when it was still brightening. The image of the star that exploded to create the supernova (mouseover the image) is elongated (better seen on this bigger image). This does not necessarily indicate any peculiarity or a close companion, rather it is the effect of stars being by chance aligned along the line of sight. Several other examples can be seen in this picture and other, different, blended images are seen
