Galaxy clusters LCDCS - 0829 - Galaxy cluster LCDCS - 0829 - Gravitational lenses in the galaxy cluster LCDCS - 0829. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope usually works as a solo artist to capture awe - inspiring images of the distant Universe. For this picture, though, Hubble had a helping hand from the subject of the image, a galaxy cluster called LCDCS - 0829, as the huge mass of the galaxies in the cluster acted like a giant magnifying glass. This strange effect is called gravitational lensing. The object was discovered during the Las Campanas Distant Clusters Survey, which explains the cluster's unusual name. This survey was carried out in March 1995 using a 1 - metre telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. More than one thousand clusters of galaxies, most of them previously unknown, were found in a dedicated survey of a long, but narrow, section of the southern sky.

Field of distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Distant galaxies - Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) - Image of distant galaxies obtained in infrared by the Hubble space telescope in the constellation of the Furnace. The farthest galaxies visible in this image are 13.2 billion light years away. Called the Extreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full Moon. The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time. The new full - color XDF image reaches much fainter galaxies, and i

The Hanger and Nebula SH2 - 83 - Coathanger and nebula SH2 - 83 in Vulpecula - The Hanger cluster or Brocchi cluster (left) is not a true cluster of stars but an asterism located in the constellation of Little Fox. Towards the center of the image, a small nebula emitted, Sh2 - 83. Little Fox Constellation. Brocchi's Cluster (also known as the Coathanger or Collinder 399) is an asterism located in the constellation Vulpecula. It was first described by the Persian astronomer Al Sufi in his Book of Fixed Stars in 964 and was independently rediscovered by Giovanni Hodierna in the seventeenth century. In the 1920s, D. F. Brocchi, an amateur astronomer and chart maker for the American Association of Variable Star Observers, created a map of this object for use in calibrating photometers. The asterism is made up of ten stars ranging from fifth to seventh magnitude which form the conspicuous Coathanger, a straight line of six stars with a “” hook””” of four stars on the south side.

Open cluster M93 (NGC 2447) in Puppis - Open cluster M93 (NGC 2447) in Puppis - M93 (NGC 2447) is a cluster of age stars located 3000 years - light. Image obtained by the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring In March, 1871 Charles Messier noted as number 93 in his famous catalogue this conspicuous group as a cluster of small stars. It was one of the last objects that Messier himself listed though he lived until 1817. The cluster is in the southern constellation of Puppis (known to Messier as Argo Puppis) and is in a rich part of the Milky Way, almost on the Galactic equator. The group is quite compact and is on the threshold of naked - eye visibility under good conditions. It is at a distance of over 3000 light years. About 80 stars have been identified as being members of the cluster, however, as in most open clusters, a mere handful contribute most of the light, reflecting the broad distribution of stellar luminosities (and thus stellar masses) found in objects of this kind.

Star Vega in the Lyre - Star Vega in infrared - Vega (Alpha Lyrae) is the main star of the constellation Lyra, located only 25.4 light years from the Sun. It is the second brightest star after Sirius in the northern hemisphere. It's seen here in infrared by the Spitzer space telescope. Observed in this wavelength, the dust cloud surrounding the star appears. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope captured these images of the star Vega, located 25 light years away in the constellation Lyra. Spitzer was able to detect the heat radiation from the cloud of dust around the star and found that the debris disk is much larger than previously thought. This side - by - side comparison, taken by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer, shows the warm infrared glows from dust particles orbiting the star at wavelengths of 24 microns (on the left in blue) and 70 microns (on the right in red). Both images show a very large, circular and smooth debris disk. The disk radius extends to at least 815 astronomical

Constellation of Big Bear - Constellation of Ursa Major - The constellation of Big Bear with the constellations of Hunting Dogs and Little Lion. Ursa Major is the third largest constellation in the sky but is not seen by skywatchers in the far southern hemisphere. However, it is the most recognisable of all constellations for those who can see it, mainly because of the asterism formed by the seven brightest stars. This is known as the Big Dipper in the USA, the Plough in Britain, various kinds of carts in Europe and a range of other objects in other cultures. Not surprisingly the constellation as a whole has a rich mythology associated with it, with many peoples projecting their stories among these beautiful stars. Greatly abbreviated, one ancient Greek version has Zeus romancing Callisto. His wife Hera changed Callisto into a bear out of jealousy. Hera's son Arcus found Callisto (the bear) by chance in the forest and was about to kill her, so to save her, Zeus turned Arcus into a smal

Cananea Copper Mine - Mexico - Cananea Copper Mine - Sonora - Mexico: The Cananea Mine is an open pit copper and gold mine located in Mexico. Its production began in 1899. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) on June 27, 2016. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world, the Cananea mine produced over 164,000 tonnes of copper in 2006. The mine is located approximately 40 km south of the border between the USA (Arizona) and Mexico (Sonora). Copper and gold ores at Cananea are found in a porphyry copper deposit, a geological structure formed by crystal-rich magma moving upwards through pre-existing rock layers. The mine workings at Cananea are significant in the recent history of Mexico, as poor working conditions there in 1906 led to a mineral's strike that resulted in 19 deaths. This event is generally considered to a major catalyst of the Mexican Revolution of 1910, as well as the beginning of Mexico's labor movement. Current environmental and economic cond

The globular cluster in the center of the image is NGC 6522. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring. The German - American astronomer Walter Baade selected for study a region of the crowded star fields in Sagittarius where he believed the Galactic dust obscuration was both uniform and minimal. He used this line of sight to establish the distance of the unseen Galactic centre, using variable stars as his yardstick. He found it to be about 30,000 light years away. This part of the sky, around the globular cluster NGC 6522, is now known as Baade's window. The brightest star in the photograph is gamma Sagittarii, a deep yellow, naked eye star of about third magnitude. It is in the foreground at a distance of about 100 light years

Image obtained with the 2.2 meter MPG/ESO telescope at the La Silla Observatory. Messier 78 is a fine example of a reflection nebula. The ultraviolet radiation from the stars that illuminate it is not intense enough to ionise the gas to make it glow - - its dust particles simply reflect the starlight that falls on them. Despite this, Messier 78 can easily be observed with a small telescope, being one of the brightest reflection nebulae in the sky. It lies about 1350 light - years away in the constellation of Orion (The Hunter) and can be found northeast of the easternmost star of Orion's belt. Two bright stars, HD 38563A and HD 38563B, are the main powerhouses behind Messier 78.

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

Sinamaica Lagoon is a large extension of water located northwest of Zulia state, Venezuela. The Paraujano population or ethnic Au that inhabit this area have been lived on the Lagoon, in stilted houses over the water palafitos, since pre-colonial times. People living there, now estimated at 2800, use this body of water for fishing, transport, and other activities. According to available epidemiological data, enteritis is one of the principal causes of mortality in children from one to four in this zone. Water samples from ten different sites of the lagoon were taken monthly throughout a nine-month period. Microbiological parameters analyzed included: Most Probable Number (MPN) of total and faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci and enterococci (per 100 mL), Plate Forming Unit of coliphage (per 100 mL) and tests for the presence of Salmonella, Shigella and other Enterobacteriaceae. A wide range of distribution of the different faecal indicators was found: TC <3.0x100 - >2.4x103, FC 2

At Runnymede, at Runnymede / What moves the reeds at Runnymede?' So begins this poem by Rudyard Kipling (d. 1936), first published in 1911. 'The Reeds of Runnymede' was commissioned to accompany a children's history of England, written by the Oxford academic, C. R. L. Fletcher (d. 1934), to which Kipling contributed twenty-three poems. The book itself received a mixed reaction, on account of Fletcher's racial prejudices. For instance, Fletcher denigrated the native people of Australia as 'a few miserable blacks, who could hardly use even bows and arrows', and he lamented the impact of the abolition of slavery on the prosperity of the West Indies. A History of England was venerated by some, but it was condemned by the Manchester Guardian as a pernicious influence on the minds of children, and the volume was banned in parts of the British Empire. Kipling's poem, seen here in the author's draft, is uncontentious. The author imagines that the reeds in the Runnymede water meadow are w

Spiral galaxy NGC 6503 in the Dragon - Spiral galaxy NGC 6503 in Draco - The dwarf spiral galaxy NGC 6503 is located about 17 million years ago - light from Earth. It spans 30,000 light years and shows many star-forming regions. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Fresh starbirth infuses the galaxy NGC 6503 with a vital pink glow in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, a smaller version of the Milky Way, is perched near a great void in space where few other galaxies reside. This new image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys displays, with particular clarity, the pink - colored puffs marking where stars have recently formed in NGC 6503's swirling spiral arms. Although structurally similar to the Milky Way, the disc of NGC 6503 spans just 30 000 light - years, or just about a third of the size of the Milky Way, leading astronomers to classify NGC 6503 as a dwarf spiral galaxy. NGC 6503 lies approximately 17 million light - years away in the co
