Nebula NGC 7023 in Cephee - NGC 7023 (The Iris Nebula) in Cepheus - The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) is a reflexion nebula illuminated by the massive star HD 200775. The bright star HD 200775 shining through the nebula NGC 7023 is a 10 solar mass star centrally imbedded in a region surrounded by ambient molecular cloud material. Suns are born from vast clouds of dust and gas that gather in the dark places between the stars. Gravity causes these interstellar vapors to collapse inward until the pressure causes high enough temperatures at its center to fuse hydrogen, the university's basic building block, into helium - an event that also releases gamma - ray photons. These photons can take a million years to travel outward through the overlying matter until they reach the surface and escape into space as visible light. The push of the photon's rush to make an exit also stops the cloud's collapse and thus what began as thin gas and dust becomes a brilliant star illuminating the heavens and possi

Colored crown around the Moon and irizations - Corona around the Moon with irisation - Provoked by the microscopic drops of water that form these clouds, the crowns are colored blue as close to the Moon, then degrade from yellow to brick red. In the distance, on the edge of the cloud strip, another luminous phenomene is noticeable: these are colourful irisations such as those seen sometimes on some puddles. In meteorology, a lunar corona is produced by the diffraction of light from the Moon by small water droplets in a cloud

Mars and Zodiacal Light - The Zodiacal Light with Mars - In the middle up, the bright spot is the planet Mars, in the constellation Gemeaux. Below, the zodiac light. The zodiacal light comes from the reflection of the Sun's light on the countless interplanetary dust; it draws the plan of the Solar System. September 20, 2009. The Zodiacal light is visible here as a large diffuse triangular - shaped cone of light rising along the ecliptic, which is tilted a bit to the right. Its base stretches from Leo on the left to the head of Hydra on the right. It goes up through Cancer and into Gemini where it crosses the Milky Way. The planet Mars was also located in Gemini when this photo was taken. The Zodiacal light is composed of fine particles of dust in orbit around the Sun. It is visible because of sunlight scattered by the particles. These particles have sizes between a couple of micrometers and a few millimeters. From the mid - northern latitudes, the Zodiacal light is most easily visible

Exoplanete GJ 1214 b - Exoplanet GJ 1214 b - Illustration showing the transit of the extrasolar planet GJ 1214 b in front of its star, the red dwarf GJ 1214, in the constellation Ophiuchus. GJ 1214 b is a super Earth, six times the mass of the Earth, which has an atmosphere but is too inhospitable to shelter life as we know it. This artist's impression shows how the super - Earth surrounding the nearby star GJ1214 may look. Discovered by the Mearth project and investigated further by the HARPS spectrograph on ESO's 3.6 - metre telescope at La Silla, GJ1214b is the second super - Earth exoplanet for which astronomers have determined the mass and radius, giving vital clues about its structure. It is also the first super - Earth around which an atmosphere has been found. The exoplanet, orbiting a small star only 40 light - years away from us, thus opens dramatic new perspectives in the quest for habitable worlds. The planet, GJ1214b, has a mass about six times that of Earth and its interi

Nebula Van den Bergh 93 (VdB 93) in Unicorn - Nebula Van den Bergh 93 (VdB 93) - VDB 93 is a star-forming region belonging to nebula IC 2177. The star SAO 152320, in the center of the image, illuminates this nebula located in the constellation Unicorn, about 4000 years old - light from Earth. Curtains of gas and dust dramatically open here to reveal the inner region of this starforming region. Unceremoniously named, bright star SAO 152320 shines with intense light in the center of this field. Clouds of gas glow strongly and dust shrinks quickly under its radiative prowess. This vista lies some 4,000 light years away towards the constellation of Monoceros. This is a portion of a much larger nebula called Gum 1

Markarian Galaxy 817 - Galaxy Markarian 817 - The spiral galaxy Markarian 817 is located 430 million light years ago in the constellation Dragon. This galaxy houses in its heart a supermassive black hole. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on August 2, 2009. Rings of brilliant blue stars encircle the bright, active core of this spiral galaxy, whose monster black hole is blasting material into space at over 14 million kilometers per hour. Viewed nearly face - on, the galaxy, called Markarian 817, shows intense star - forming regions and dark bands of interstellar dust along its spiral arms. Observations by the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured the powerful outflow of material from this galaxy. The COS spectrum of Markarian 817 highlights the outflow's dynamic nature. A gas cloud containing hydrogen that was detected in Hubble data taken in 1997 does not appear in the COS observation because the cloud has apparently been d

The Pleiades cluster with zodiacal light - The Pleiades cluster with zodiacal light - The zodiacal light that extends here to the Pleiades comes from the reflection of the Sun's light on the countless interplanetary dust; it draws the plane of the Solar System. The faint cone of light extending from the horizon along the ecliptic is known as zodiacal light. It comes from the reflexion of the sun's light off tiny interplanetary dust particles in the plane of the solar system. One can see it here from the bottom right of the image to beyond the Pleiades cluster near the center of the image
