Polaris - Illustration - Polaris System - Illustration - Polaris is a triple system composed of a supergiant star and two dwarf stars. It is a pulsating variable star, cepheide of low amplitude. This illustration shows the triple system of this star, Polaris A and Polaris Ab, and further on, his companion Polaris B. This is a view from within the Polaris triple star system. The North Star, Polaris A is a bright supergiant variable star.Just above Polaris is a small companion, Polaris Ab, which is 2 billion miles from Polaris. Much farther away, near the top of the illustration, is the wide companion Polaris B. Polaris B is located approximately 240 billion miles from Polaris A. The two companion stars are the same temperature as Polaris A, but are dwarf stars. The wide companion star is visible in small telescopes. It was first noticed by William Herschel in 1780. The close companion, Polaris Ab was known to exist from measurements of a wobble in Polaris, caused by the gravitational tu

Roop Chund Roy Street, Calcutta. Roop chund roy street is near the Burra bazaar... The gamblers on the left ... Courtezan smoking her hubble-bubble, on the right ... The dwarf is well known in the bazaar ... The cloth suspended from lines, indicates the abode of dyers, who are a numerous class. The group in the centre is composed of traders, brokers, and other busy people. The petted and pampered Brahminy Bull is quietly wandering by, and the sacred block centre piece of hewn stone, serving for a seat to the next figure, is the emblem of the vital principle, or Lingam - the simple root of the Hindoo's varied Pantheism-the adored household god he most constantly bows to.

Galaxy Cluster Abell 1656 - Coma Cluster - Wide - field image around the Coma galaxy cluster - Large field around the Coma galaxy cluster. This cluster consists of about a thousand galaxies and is located 330 million light years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice hair). This cluster is dominated by two large elliptical galaxies (NGC 4874 on the right and NGC 4889 on the left). Below the middle of the image, to the right, is the galaxy NGC 4921. Mosaic of images obtained by the Oschin telescope of 1.2m from Mount Palomar through several filters and composed. The Coma cluster (Abell 1656) is a particularly rich cluster of individual galaxies (over 1000 members), most prominently the two giant ellipticals, NGC 4874 (right) and NGC 4889 (left). NGC 4921 is the small circular galaxy below and a little to the right of the centre of the image. The remaining members are mostly smaller ellipticals. The cluster is seen towards the constellation Coma Berenices, and is actually at

Birth of stars in the nebula NGC 3372 - Star formation in the Carina Nebula - Detail of the nebula of the Carene seen in infrared by the Hubble space telescope. The image reveals in the center of the image a young star accompanied by a jet of material. NGC 3372 is located about 7000 light years away from Earth. Image obtained in July 2009.

Taken in infrared light, the image shows the dense column and the surrounding greenish - coloured gas all but disappear. Only a faint outline of the pillar remains. By penetrating the wall of gas and dust, the infrared vision of WFC3 reveals the infant star that is probably blasting the jet. Part of the jet nearest the star is more prominent in this view. These features can be seen because infrared light, unlike visible light, can pass through the dust. Hubble's Wide

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.

Remains of the Crab Supernova (M1) in the Taurus - M1, the Crab Nebula, is a supernova remnant from a star that exploded in July or August of 1054 AD and was witnessed and described by Chinese astronomers as being six times brighter than Venus. The supernova, located in the constellation of Taurus and about 7,000 light years away from the Earth, shined with the light of 400 million suns, was visible in the daytime for almost a month, and remained visible in the evening sky for more than a year. Today, some 900 years later, we see the remains of the exploded star as a cloud of gaseous debris, illuminated by the remnants of the core of the original star, which is now a rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar. The colors in the nebula come from two different sources. The red filaments come from typical hydrogen emission such as in emission nebula like M8. The diffuse blue background has a continuous spectrum composed of synchrotron radiation which is emitted by high energy electrons

A massive star located outside Hubble's view is, in a similar fashion, sculpting the top of the Horsehead itself. The Horsehead, located in the constellation Orion, is a cousin of the famous pillars of dust and gas known as the Eagle nebula. Both tower - like nebulae are cocoons of young stars. The Horsehead nebula lies just south of the bright star Zeta Orionis, which is easily visible to the unaided eye as the left - hand star in the line of three that form Orion's Belt.

Further in toward Neptune and abutting the Lassell ring is the thin Le Verrier ring, and beyond that is the diffuse Galle ring. The Great Dark Spot is believed to be a storm similar to, but only half the size of, Jupiter's Great Red Spot. While Jupiter's Great Red Spot has been raging for at least 400 years, subsequent observations of Neptune's Great Dark Spot in 1994 by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that this storm has since disappeared.

The southern cap reaches some 3 km thick in places, and is around 350 km in diameter. This icy region is permanent; in the martian winter another, thinner ice cap forms over the top of it, stretching further out across the planet and disappearing again when the weather warms up. The cap is around 150 km north of Mars' geographical south pole and Mars Express has shed light on why this ice cap is displaced. Deep impact craters - notably the Hellas Basin, the largest impact structure on the entire planet at 7 km deep and 2300 km across - funne

Size comparison: Earth, Moon and Galilean satellites - Jupiter's four largest satellites and Earth and the Moon compared - Jupiter's four largest satellites, called Galilean satellites, compared to Earth and Moon. At the top, from left to right, in order of their distance to the planet Jupiter, we find Io, Europe, Ganymede and Callisto. Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system. Jupiter's four largest satellites, also known as the “” Galilean”” satellites since they were first observed by the Italian astronomer Galileo over 400 years ago, are worlds in their own right. Top row, left to right, in order from their distances from Jupiter, are: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto Io is the most volcanic world in the Solar System, resurfacing itself continually with extremely hot and massive eruptions that spew material over 200 miles into space. Europa is about the same size as Earth's Moon, however unlike the Moon which is made up mostly of dry silicate materials, Europa is believe

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus. A broad dark band crosses it in the middle, a probable vestige of a collision with a spiral galaxy. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. The green dot visible in the dust strip is a supernova, the supernova 1986g. It appears green because the red filter image that made this trichromy image was only taken a year after the event and the supernova had weakened. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy. The circular, uniformly bright portion is composed of several thousand million stars, most of them old and yellowish. The galaxy is girded by a dense dust lane which obscures and reddens the light of stars behind it. Some
