Cometary blood cell CG4 in the stern - Cometary blood cell CG4 - Cometary blood cells are small clouds of isolated gases. The latter, called CG4, is located about 1300 light years ago in the constellation of Pupus. Its head is 1.5 years - light and its tail (off-field) extends for 8 years - light. This cloud is a star-forming region. Image obtained by the VLT. The cometary globule CG4 glows menacingly in this image from Eso's Very Large Telescope. Although it looks huge and bright in this image it is actually a faint nebula and not easy to observe. The exact nature of CG4 remains a mystery

Cometary Globula CG30 in the Stern - Cometary Globule CG30 - Cometary cells are small clouds of isolated gases. These, called CG30/31/38, are located about 1300 light years ago in the constellation Pupus. The Cometary Globules CG 30/31/38 are located 1300 light years away in Vela/Puppis constellations; they appear as finger - like extensions extending out in different directions. Bright rimmed globules and their more evolved cousin the cometary globule represent fascinating dynamic structures formed by the interplay of cold molecular clouds and hot ionizing stars. Typically the head of the globule faces a hot O - type star. The blood cells are known to be the birthplace of low mass stars. The globule head of CG 30 contains the Herbig Haro object HH 120, which is the outflow signature of a pre - main sequence star

Cometary Globule CG4 dans la Puppe - Grand Champ - CG4 a cometary globule in Puppis - Wide field - Cometary cells are small clouds of isolated gases. This one, called CG4 (left middle of the image), is located about 1300 light years away in the constellation Pupus. Its head is 1.5 years light and its tail extends for 8 years. This cloud is a star-forming region. A spiral galaxy seen by the slice (ESO 257 - 19) is visible to the left of the blood cell. It is located 100 million years later. At the bottom left of the image, another galaxy is visible, NGC 2427. This region of the southern sky has numerous colorful faint gaseous nebulae that are very difficult to image due to thier very low surface brightness. CG4 is a ruptured cometary globule that appears to be ready to “” eat””” the distant galaxy ESO257 - 019. In fact, these two objects are very far apart; ESO257 - 019 being more than 100 million light years further away than CG4. Cometary blood cells are isolated, relatively small clo

A spiral galaxy seen by the slice (ESO 257 - 19) is visible at the top left. It is located 100 million years later. The odd looking “” creature”” to the right of center in the above photo is a gas cloud known as a cometary globule.This globule, however, has ruptured. Cometary globules are typically characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails. These features cause cometary globules to have visual similarities to comets, but in reality they are very much different. Cometary globules are frequently the birthplaces of stars, and many show very young stars in their heads. The reason for the rupture in the head of this object is not completely known.

Artist's view of the asteroid 2060 Chiron: (2060) Chiron, also designed as 95P/Chiron, is a centaur type cometary asteroid, an ice body of 166 kilometres of diameter orbiting around the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. 2060 Chiron, also known as 95P/Chiron, is a minor planet in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered in 1977 it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs - bodies orbiting between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Besides the four giant planets, Chiron and 10199 Chariklo, also a centaur, are the only other bodies in the Solar System known to have rings. Although it was initially called an asteroid and classified only as a minor planet with the designation “” 2060 Chiron””, it was later found to exhibit behavior typical of a comet. Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet, and is accordingly also known by the cometary designation “” 95P/Chiron””

Dark Nebula in Scorpio - A dark cloud in Scorpius - Unnamed nebula in Scorpius. Bright rimmed globules and their more evolved cousin the cometary globule represent fascinating dynamic structures formed by the interplay of cold molecular clouds and hot ionizing stars. Typically the head of the globule faces a hot O - type star. Intense radiation from the star boils away lower density gas from the head. The evaporated rim of gas becomes ionized by the stars ultraviolet flux forming a bright glowing rim we associate with many of these globules including CG4. Intense stellar winds from the ionizing star evaporate gas and dust away from the head forming the “” tail”” and completing the cometary shape. The blood cells are known to be the birthplace of low mass stars. Stars form within the blood cells by the mechanism known as “” radiation driven implosion”. This process occurs when ultraviolet flux from a hot star compresses surviving clumps of cold molecular gas eventually causing collapse

Stardust Probe Sample Collector Analysis - Stardust Probe Sample Collector Analysis - Scientists are studying the Stardust Probe Aerogel Collector (Center). The aerogel is a very low density solid that looks like solid smoke. It is in this material that the collected comet dust is trapped. The Stardust probe was launched on 7 February 1999 with the primary objective of studying comet Wild 2 and taking samples from it during a passage through the comet's hair. Stardust was the first probe to collect and bring back to Earth interstellar and cometary dust. The return capsule landed on Earth on 15 January 2006 with the samples

Comete 17P/Holmes 26/10/2007 - Comet 17P/Holmes October 26 2007 - On October 24, 2007, Comete 17P/Holmes suddenly increased luminosite (almost a million times) and became visible to the naked eye. In this image obtained on 26 October 2007, the comet is surrounded above the constellation of Persee. On the top right, a view of the comet at the telescope. On Oct. 24, 2007 Comet Holmes amazingly erupted to magnitude 2.5, nearly a million times brighter than it's magnitude 17 brightness 24 hours before. This is one of the most stunning cometary events in modern history of Astronomy. The comet is so far away that appeared star like in this image of Oct. 26 from Tehran. The inset is a telescopic view of the comet yellowish coma
