Exoplanete Gliese 1214 b - Gliese 1214 b (or GJ 1214 b) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 1214 in the constellation Ophiuchus, whose discovery was announced on 16 December 2009. It is located about 40 years from the Sun. It is the third discovered exoplanet whose size is smaller than that of a gas giant and the first on which water could be present in large quantities given its size and estimated mass. It could be the first ocean planet discovered. Gliese 1214 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star Gliese 1214. The parent star is 13 parsecs (approximately 40 light - years) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. The planet was discovered in December 2009. It is classified as a super - Earth because it is larger than Earth but has a mass and radius significantly less than those of the gas giants in the Solar System. After COROT - 7b, it is the second such planet to be known and is the first of a new class of planets with small size and relatively low dens

Swan Constellation - Cygnus constellation - On the right, the bright star is Vega, in the constellation Lyra. Also visible are the constellations of the Fleche and the Petite Fox. Cygnus (the Swan), is clearly the bird flying along the northern Milky Way. Many legends refer to this distinctive constellation, including that of Zeus who disguised himself as a swan while visiting Leda, wife of the King of Sparta. This union resulted in Pollux, one of the heavenly twins. English legends see here the more prosaic outline of a flying hen in this part of the sky. Because Cygnus is in the Milky Way, it is rich in Galactic objects that are visible in binoculars and modest telescopes, notable are the enormous North America Nebula (NCG 7000) and the faint shreds of the Veil nebula, a supenova remnant that covers a patch of sky five times larger than the full Moon. Vulpecula (the Fox) is a faint constellation created by Johannes Hevelius, who called it Vulpecula Cum Anser, the Fox and Goose. Anser

It is the third discovered exoplanet whose size is smaller than that of a gas giant and the first on which water could be present in large quantities given its size and estimated mass. It could be the first ocean planet discovered. Gliese 1214 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star Gliese 1214. The parent star is 13 parsecs (approximately 40 light-years) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. The planet was discovered in December 2009. It is classified as a Super-earth because it is larger than Earth but has a mass and radius significantly less than those of the gas giants in the Solar System. After Corot-7b, it is the second such planet to be known and is the first of a new class of planets with small size and relatively low de

Swan Constellation - Cygnus constellation - On the right, the bright star is Vega, in the constellation Lyra. Also visible are the constellations of the Fleche and the Petite Fox. Cygnus (the Swan), is clearly the bird flying along the northern Milky Way. Many legends refer to this distinctive constellation, including that of Zeus who disguised himself as a swan while visiting Leda, wife of the King of Sparta. This union resulted in Pollux, one of the heavenly twins. English legends see here the more prosaic outline of a flying hen in this part of the sky. Because Cygnus is in the Milky Way, it is rich in Galactic objects that are visible in binoculars and modest telescopes, notable are the enormous North America Nebula (NCG 7000) and the faint shreds of the Veil nebula, a supenova remnant that covers a patch of sky five times larger than the full Moon. Vulpecula (the Fox) is a faint constellation created by Johannes Hevelius, who called it Vulpecula Cum Anser, the Fox and Goose. Anser

The hidden face of the Moon and the Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - Far side of the Moon with Earth seen from DSCOVR. 07/2015 - This image obtained on July 16, 2015 by the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite shows the passage of the Moon and its face hidden from the Earth. The distance between DSCOVR and Earth is about 1.5 million kilometres. The Moon was approximately 400,000 kilometres from Earth, so it was closer to DSCOVR and therefore appears larger than it is in relation to Earth. This image shows the far side of the moon, illuminated by the sun, as it crosses between the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) camera and telescope, and the Earth - one million miles away. Because the moon has moved in relation to the Earth between the time the first (red) and last (green) exposures were made, a thin green offset appears on the right side of the moon when the three exposures are combined.

It was about 9 metres long and weighed at least one ton. In the foreground, a Purgatorius tries to hide himself. A rat-sized Purgatorius hides among the undergrowth of a cretaceous forest while a 30 foot long, 2,000 pound tyrannosaur boreages for its next meal in what is today the western United States. Bistahieversor is a genus of tyrannosauroid dinosaur named after Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness where it was found. Purgatorius is the genus for several species of small omnivorous mammals that are believed to be the among the earliest ancestors of modern-day chimps, rhesus monkeys, and humans. The extinction of the larger and more powerful dinosaurs may have been what led to world's domination by mammals today.

This image obtained by the WISE satellite also distinguishes the two Andromede satellite galaxies, M32 (above the nucleus of the Andromede galaxy) and NGC 205 (M110) below. Infrared composite at the following wavelengths: 3.4 and 4.6 microns (blue), 12 microns (green), and 22 microns dust sensitive, red. M31, is captured in full in this new image from Nasa's Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE. The mosaic covers an area equivalent to more than 100 full moons, or five degrees across the sky. WISE used all four of its infrared detectors to capture this picture (3.4 - and 4.6 - micron light is colored blue; 12 - micron light is green; and 22 - micron light is red). Blue highlights mature stars, while yellow and red show dust heated

The western portion of IC 1396 contains the Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) which is characterized with H - II emissions, dark lanes and globules as well as a small reflection nebula. The IC 1396 complex is technically a star cluster (aka Cr 439, Trumpler 37) owing to the presence of a developing open but loose cluster at the heart of this rich nebulosity. This open star cluster is comprised of 50 - 100 member stars which vary in brightness spanning an area of approximately 50 'in diameter and which are not very well detached from the background sky.

It encloses Trumpler 24, more or less the same cluster under another name, and all of this is part of the Sco OB1 association, a much larger gathering of very hot, intrinsically luminous stars in this part of the sky. The nebula itself is also known as Gum 56, after the Australian Colin Gum who catalogued emission nebulae in the southern sky using wi

Galaxy NGC 6240 in Ophiuchus - Galaxy NGC 6240 in Ophiuchus - The galaxy NGC 6240, is about 400 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. This system consists of two colliding galaxies each with a central black hole; in several millions of years, they will form only one galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope on 10 February 2002. NGC 6240 is a peculiar, butterfly - or lobster - shaped galaxy consisting of two smaller merging galaxies. It lies in the constellation of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder, some 400 million light - years away. Observations with NASA s Chandra X - ray Observatory have disclosed two giant black holes, about 3,000 light - years apart, which will drift towards one another and eventually merge together into a larger black hole. The merging process, which began about 30 million years ago, triggered dramatic star formation and sparked numerous supernova explosions. The merger will be complete in some tens to hundreds of millions of

Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs and Supernova - The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in Canes Venatici with SN 2005cs - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 37 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. On June 28, 2005 a supernova of type II appeared in M51; this supernova (SN 2005cs) is visible just under the nucleus, in the first arm. Image obtained with two telescopes of 50 cm and 30 cm, composite of several poses. The Whirlpool Galaxy lies approximately 31 million light years from earth. This spectacular galaxy is paired with a smaller, more distant companion whose matter is being disrupted by the larger spiral in a gravitational tug of war. Eventually, the shape of both will be altered over many more millions of years. On June 28, 2005, a new star was noticed in this galaxy. It was confirmed to be a bright supernova, one of the brightest in recent years and similar to the brightest superno

Image obtained from the 3.5-metre NTT telescope of the European Observatory of La Silla in Chile. The Omega Nebula (M17) is one of the youngest and most massive star - forming regions in the Milky Way. Active star - birth started a few million years ago and continues through today. The brightly shining gas shown in this picture is just a blister erupting from the side of a much larger dark cloud of molecular gas. The dust that is so prominent in this picture comes from the remains of massive hot stars that have ended their brief lives and ejected material back into space, as well as the cosmic detritus from which future suns form.

Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Mars and Deimos - Illustration - Artist's view of Deimos, the smallest of Mars's two satellites. This is how Mars and its even smaller satellite Deimos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from the surface of Deimos. Deimos is over Acidalia Planitia, an albedo feature that has been observed by Earth - bound astronomers since the 19th century. To the southwest are the fog - filled canyons of Valles Marineris, the westernmost of which are still in darkness. Beyond Mars, immediately to the left of its night side, is Phobos at a distance of 20,000 miles. The two bright objects in the lower left are the stars Beta Gruis and Al Nair in the southern constellation Grus. Like it's larger companion Phobos, Deimos does not possess enough mass to pull itself into a sphere; its shape instead is oblong with a length of about 10 miles and only 6 miles wide at its smallest dimension. Like Phobos, Deimos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity.

Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139, Omega Centauri globular cluster - Visible to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, Centaurus Omega is the most massive globular cluster in the galaxy. About 17,000 light years ago, millions of stars nearly 12 billion years old are concentrated here. This image obtained by the ACS camera of the Hubble space telescope and observations made by the southern Gemini telescope seem to indicate the presence of a black hole in the center of the cluster. NGC 5139 is the largest and most spectacular globular cluster in the entire night sky, and the largest in our galaxy. At 36 arc minutes, Omega Centauri is larger than the full moon in apparent size. It is located about 17,000 light years away from our Sun and at 4th magnitude, is easily visible without a telescope as a “” star”” in the constellation of Centaurus. It contains about 2 million stars, almost twice as many as M13. This composite image obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard

Arc de fog - Fogbow - Arc de fog observed in Brittany on 5 May 2006. A haze arc is formed in the way of a rainbow. The light of the Sun is reflected in the water drops of the mist, but unlike raindrops, the mist droplets are much smaller: about a millimetre for the rain versus a few centiemes for the mist. As a result, the diffraction in the mist droplets is preponderant, which results in colour refracting at random angles, between 30 and 45* around the anti-sun point (opposite the Sun). Thus, all colours blend and one sees a white arch of light, sometimes slightly bluish on the inside and red on the outside, wider than a rainbow. Fogbow seen in Brittany on May 5, 2006.
