Planetary nebula NGC 2818 - Planetary nebula NGC 2818 in Pyxis - The open cluster NGC 2818A in the southern constellation of the Compsole is distinguished by the fact that most of its bright stars have already become supernovae; this indicates that this cluster must be very old, perhaps a billion years. It has a planetary nebula, NGC 2818, photographed here by the Hubble space telescope in November 2008. A planetary nebula is an end-of-life star. NGC 2818 (also called PLN 261+8.1) is located about 10,000 light years from Earth. The unique planetary nebula NGC 2818 is nested inside the open star cluster NGC 2818A. Both the cluster and the nebula reside over 10,000 light - years away, in the southern constellation Pyxis (the Compasss). NGC 2818 is one of very few planetary nebulae in our galaxy located within an open cluster. Open clusters, in general, are loosely bound and they disperse over hundreds of millions of years. Stars that form planetary nebulae typically live for billions of

Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) x-ray view - radio - visible - Galaxy Centaurus A in different wavelengths - false-coloured view of the 30,000-year long jet - light escaping from the nucleus of the Centaurus A galaxy where a massive black hole is suspected. On this composite image obtained in X, radio, and visible, two large X-emission arcs surround this jet over a diameter of 25,000 years - light. These hot arcs could be the result of a gigantic explosion that occurred 10 million years ago in the nucleus of the galaxy. The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth. A composite X - ray (blue), radio (pink and green), and optical (orange and yellow) image of the galaxy Centaurus A presents a stunning view of a galaxy in turmoil. A broad band of dust and cold gas is bisected at an angle by opposing jets of high - energy particles blasting away from the supermassive black hole in the nucleus. Two large arcs of X - ray emitting hot gas were discovered in the out

Spiral galaxy M33 infrared view - Spiral galaxy M33 seen in infrared - M33, (NGC 598), the galaxy of the Triangle, is located about 2.9 million years ago - light from Earth. It belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or Andromede galaxy. This infrared image from the Spitzer space telescope shows stars in blue, gas in green, star formations in red - orange. Red dots are distant galaxies. In infrared, the galaxy appears larger than visible light, revealing cold gas and dust that spread around the galaxy. Also known as M33 or NGC 598, the Triangulum Galaxy is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and our galaxy, the Milky Way. M33 is over thirty thousand light - years across, and more than two million light - years away. Viewed here with Spitzer's infrared eyes, this elegant spiral galaxy sparkles with color and detail. Stars appear as glistening blue gems (several of which are actually foreground stars in our own galaxy), while dust rich

Martian dunes in summer - Mars: Summer view of Dunes: Detail on dunes near the northern polar cap of Mars in summer. Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on 1 September 2008. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. This dune field formed near the base of the North Polar cap. Dunes require a source of loose particulate material to form. The source of the northern dune fields around the polar cap may be from the layers of dusty ice that are eroded by strong polar winds. This image was taken during the Martian northern summer, so there is no frost present on the dunes. The dunes closest to the base of the polar cap are long and parallel, indicating strong winds from the direction of the cap. As they get farther away from the polar cap, they start to form more crescent shaped dunes, called barchan dunes. Repeated observations by HiRise of dunes like these show measurable changes in some locations. This discovery adds to t

Martian dunes in Spring - March: Spring view of Dunes - Detail on sand dunes near the north pole of Mars. These dunes are covered with carbon dioxide gel during the Martian winter. In spring, dark streaks appear, sand flows caused by the degel. Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on April 7, 2008. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. Falling Material Kicks Up Cloud of Dust on Dunes. There is a vast region of sand dunes at high northern latitudes on Mars. In the winter, a layer of carbon dioxide ice covers the dunes, and in the spring as the sun warms the ice it evaporates. This is a very active process, and sand dislodged from the crests of the dunes cascades down, forming dark streaks. In thid image falling material has kicked up a small cloud of dust. The color of the ice surrounding adjacent streaks of material suggests that dust has settled on the ice at the bottom after similar events. Also discernible in thi

Martian dunes in Spring - March: Frost - covered dunes in crater - Detail on dunes in a crater located near the north pole of Mars. Clearly, areas covered with carbon dioxide gel appear on this image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on January 1, 2010. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared Dunes are often found on crater floors. In the winter time at high northern latitudes the terrain is covered by carbon dioxide ice (dry ice). In the spring as this seasonal ice evaporates many unusual features unique to Mars are visible. On the floor of this crater where there are no dunes, the ice forms an uninterrupted layer. On the dunes however, dark streaks form as surface material from below the ice is mobilized and deposited on top of the ice. In some cases this mobile material probably slides down the steep face of the dune, while in other cases it may be literally blown out in a process of gas release similar to removing a c

Saturn seen in infrared by Cassini spacecraft - Saturn seen in infrared by Cassini spacecraft - Composite image of Saturn in false colours obtained from infrared observations collected by the Cassini probe on 24 February 2007 at a distance of 1.58 million km from the planet. Flying over the unlit side of Saturn's rings, the Cassini spacecraft captures Saturn's glow, represented in brilliant shades of electric blue, sapphire and mint green, while the planet's shadow casts a wide net on the rings. This striking false - color mosaic was created from 25 images taken by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer over a period of 13 hours, and captures Saturn in nighttime and daytime conditions. The visual and infrared mapping spectrometer acquires data simultaneously at 352 different wavelengths, or spectral channels. Data at wavelengths of 2.3, 3.0 and 5.1 microns were combined in the blue, green and red channels of a standard color image, respectively, to make this false - color m

Saturn rings seen in ultraviolet by Cassini - Saturn's rings in utraviolet - Saturn rings seen in ultraviolet by the Cassini probe. The colours indicate a different distribution of the material within the rings. This false - color image of Saturn's main rings was made by combining data from multiple star occultations using the Cassini ultraviolet imaging spectrograph. During occultations, scientists observe the brightness of a star as the rings pass in front of the star. This provides a measurement of the amount of ring material between the spacecraft and the star. Cassini has given scientists the most detailed view yet of Saturn's densely packed B ring. Cassini found that this part of the rings is densely packed with clumps, called self - gravity wakes, separated by almost empty gaps. These clumps in Saturn's B ring are neatly organized and constantly colliding, which surprised scientists. The clumps in Saturn's B ring, 30 to 50 meters (100 to 160 feet) across, are too small to be see

Glaciers under Martian crateres - Buried glaciers on Mars - Computer reconstructed views of three Martian crateres in the Hellas region that house glaciers. The images show the crateres as they appear today with a layer of Martian soil covering the ice with water and, on the right, the glaciers updated according to radar measurements obtained by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe (MRO). These glaciers would have a thickness of 250 to 450 meters. Each image covers 20 km wide. This computer graphic image shows three craters in the eastern Hellas region of Mars containing concealed glaciers detected by radar. The images shows how the surface looks today with the ice covered with a layer of Martian soil and what the ice may look like underneath. The image was created using image data from the Context Camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft combined with results from the SHARAD radar sounder on MRO and HRSC digital elevation map from the Mars Express spacecraft.
