  • Beauty From Chaos
    DUKAS_119600779_EYE
    Beauty From Chaos
    Appearing within the boundless darkness of space, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopevïs snapshot of NGC 34 looks more like an otherworldly, bioluminescent creature from the deep oceans than a galaxy. Lying in the constellation Cetus (The Sea Monster), the galaxyvïs outer region appears almost translucent, pinpricked with stars and strange wispy tendrils. The main cause for this galaxyvïs odd appearance lies in its past. If we were able to reverse time by a few million years, we would see two beautiful spiral galaxies on a direct collision course. When these galaxies collided into one another, their intricate patterns and spiral arms were permanently disturbed. This image shows the galaxy's bright centre, a result of this merging event that has created a burst of new star formation and lit up the surrounding gas. As the galaxies continue to intertwine and become one, NGC 34vïs shape will become more like that of an peculiar galaxy, devoid of any distinct shape.vä In the vastness of space, collisions between galaxies are quite rare events, but they can be numerous in mega-clusters containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies.

    World Bee Day Mexico City 2025
    May 16, 2025, Xochimilco, Mexico: May 20th is World Bee Day. This celebration is a special way to remember the importance of bees around the world, as they are pollinators that keep the planet healthy, the threats they face, and their contribution to humanity. Martha Flores Garcia is one of the few women beekeepers in the Xochimilco region. She is responsible for raising and caring for them. On her property, she has 26 breeding boxes, each of which can hold 20,000 bees. (Credit Image: © Josue Perez/ZUMA Press Wire/ZUMA Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

    Volunteer planet hunters have discovered a new world that holds out hope for finding life.

    The find is in the habitable zone of an unusual star system, including two stars and potentially another exoplanet.

    It’s the narrow band in a solar system where water has the potential to exist.

    The planet is formally called TOI 4633 c, but nicknamed Percival by scientists
    after the father of Hogwarts school headmaster Albus Dumbledore fin the Harry Potter book series.

    The planet hunters spotted it as it crossed in front of its host star, temporarily dimming the star’s light like a solar eclipse on Earth.

    This method usually identifies planets with tight orbits, as they move into light-blocking positions more frequently.

    The newly discovered world is considered unusually far out, with the planet taking 272 days to lap its star.

    The star it orbits is now by far the brightest one known to have a planet in the habitable zone where liquid water can exist.

    OPS: Artistic impression of the new TOI 4633 c planet's surface which is believed to be made up of gasses.

    A stunning new image of the planet Uranus has amazed astronomers and scientists showing a luminous, ringed world.

    The detailed images are from a compilation of shits by the James Webb space telescope launched into space in 2021 to take the most highly detailed images of the solar system and beyond .

    Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, is an ice giant, thought to be more than 80% icy water, ammonia, and methane surrounding a rocky core;

    Though Uranus’ rings were imaged before, the new image adds the planet’s faint Zeta ring, the one closest to the planet.

    The Webb image also shows 14 of the planet’s 27 moons: Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Juliet, Perdita, Rosalind, Puck, Belinda, Desdemona, Cressida, Ariel, Miranda, Bianca, and Portia.

    OPS: Image of Uranus taken from Near-Infrared Camera on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope . It shows the planet and its rings in new clarity.

    A company looking to help space exploration has unveiled an inflatable dwellings concept to create the perfect base for Mars,

    Being able to deflate them for a journey to the Red Planet makes them cost effective in terms of how many can be carried in a single load.

    One on the Martian surface and inflated, the plan is to cover them with soil called regolith to protect them from harmful cosmic rays.

    They would also be grouped together to grow food thanks to transparent walls which would have sunlight directed through them.

    The modular Mars Habitat has been developed by Austrian architect Thomas Herzig based in Vienna who would like to create a simulated Mars experience using the dwellings as a terrestrial tourist attraction.

    His company Pneumocell specialises in pneumatic construction techniques.

    The Mars Habitat uses mirror membranes to reflect natural sunlight into greenhouse section of the structures for sustainable and self-sufficient production of food and oxygen.

    At the same time harmful cosmic radiation is kept out by the layers of regolith.

    A company looking to help space exploration has unveiled an inflatable dwellings concept to create the perfect base for Mars,

    Being able to deflate them for a journey to the Red Planet makes them cost effective in terms of how many can be carried in a single load.

    One on the Martian surface and inflated, the plan is to cover them with soil called regolith to protect them from harmful cosmic rays.

    They would also be grouped together to grow food thanks to transparent walls which would have sunlight directed through them.

    The modular Mars Habitat has been developed by Austrian architect Thomas Herzig based in Vienna who would like to create a simulated Mars experience using the dwellings as a terrestrial tourist attraction.

    His company Pneumocell specialises in pneumatic construction techniques.

    The Mars Habitat uses mirror membranes to reflect natural sunlight into greenhouse section of the structures for sustainable and self-sufficient production of food and oxygen.

    At the same time harmful cosmic radiation is kept out by the layers of regolith.

    OPS: A cutaway of the proposed Mars inflatable habitat . The top is covered with Martian soil called regolith. Solar panels harvest energgy. Mirrors either side project sunlight through the transparent side walls to where food is grown.

    Goonhilly - the station supporting Nasa's Artemis moon mission from Cornwall.
    History-rich communcation centre in Lizard peninsula will track the rocket using its Merlin antenna.

    Mission control in Houston and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are the places most closely associated with Nasa’s Artemis 1 moon adventure but a lesser-known spot on a remote heath in the far south-west of Britain is also playing a crucial part.

    When the mission does blast off, hopefully later this week, scientists at Goonhilly Earth Station on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall will help Nasa track the rocket using a giant deep space antenna nicknamed Merlin, and then command six small research satellites that are piggy-backing a ride on Artemis.
