ESO: Orion In A New LightParis, France (SPX) Feb 11, 2010 The Orion Nebula reveals many of its hidden secrets in a dramatic image taken by ESO's new VISTA survey telescope. The telescope's huge field of view can show the full splendor of the whole nebula and VISTA's infrared vision also allows it to peer deeply into dusty regions that are normally hidden and expose the curious behavior of the very active young stars buried there. VISTA - the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy - is the latest addition to ESO's Paranal Observatory. It is t ... read more |

Essex FL (SPX) Feb 10, 2010On February 9, 2010 six e2v Charge Coupled Device (CCD) imaging sensors were launched into space from Cape Canaveral, Florida on board NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the first of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) programs to launch. The programs have been designed to study and understand the causes of solar variability and the impact these have on Earth and Near-Earth space. ... more 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 08, 2010For some years now, an unorthodox idea has been gaining favor among astronomers. It contradicts old teachings and unsettles thoughtful observers, especially climatologists. "The sun," explains Lika Guhathakurta of NASA headquarters in Washington DC, "is a variable star." But it looks so constant... That's only a limitation of the human eye. Modern telescopes and spacecraft have pene ... more 
Cape Canaveral, Florida (AFP) Feb 9, 2010NASA made final preparations Tuesday for the launch of its Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) which promises to give space scientists the most detailed glimpse ever of our sun and its complicated workings. The observatory and its Atlas V rocket were rolled out to the launchpad at Florida's Cape Canaveral base for a 10:26 am (1526 GMT) Wednesday liftoff on a five year mission that scientists sa ... more |

Quasar Pair Captured In Galaxy CollisionPasadena CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2010 This composite image shows the effects of two galaxies caught in the act of merging. A Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows a pair of quasars in blue, located about 4.6 billion light years away, but separated on the sky by only about 70 thousand light years. These bright sources, collectively called SDSS J1254+0846, are powered by material falling onto supermassive black holes. An optical image from the Baade-Magellan telescope in Chile, in yellow, shows tidal tails - gravitational-stripped strea ... read more |
