  • 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.

This August's full moon, known as The Sturgeon moon is a Supermoon, the first of four this year, is also called a Blue Moon as it is the third full moon of an astronomical season that has four full moons. The term Supermoon refers to a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth.

    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.

    The hope of finding conditions suitable for life on one of the moons orbiting giant planet Jupiter, have been given a boost — with the discovery of carbon.

    Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of a handful of worlds in the solar system that astronomers and scientists think could potentially harbour conditions for life

    Previous research has shown that beneath its water-ice crust lies a salty ocean of liquid water with a rocky seafloor.

    Planetary scientists had not been able to establish if that ocean contained the chemicals needed for life, particularly carbon.

    But now astronomers using data from US space agency NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific surface region.

    Analysis indicates that this carbon likely originated in the subsurface ocean and was not delivered by meteorites or other external sources and in a geologically recent timescale.

    This discovery has important implications for the potential habitability of Europa’s ocean.

    One of two lead authors of the study, Geronimo Villanueva of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA, said: “On Earth, life likes chemical diversity – the more diversity, the better.

    “We’re carbon-based life. Understanding the chemistry of Europa’s ocean will help us determine whether it’s hostile to life as we know it, or if it might be a good place for life.”

    A plan to help reduce the effects of global warming has been revealed— using an umbrella-like sun shield attached to an asteroid.
    The shield would reduce the amount of sunlight hitting Earth, using a tethered, captured asteroid as a counterweight.
    Engineering studies using this approach could start now to create a workable design that could mitigate climate change within decades according to astronomer István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii.
    Szapudi believes one of the simplest approaches to reducing the global temperature is to shade the Earth from a fraction of the Sun’s light.
    This shield idea without a counterbalance has been previously proposed.
    But the large amount of weight needed to make a shield massive enough to balance gravitational forces and prevent solar radiation pressure from blowing it away makes even the lightest materials prohibitively expensive.
    Szapudi’s creative solution consists of two innovations.
    One is using a tethered counterweight instead of just a massive shield, resulting in making the total mass more than 100 times less.
    The other is using a captured asteroid as the counterweight to avoid launching most of the mass from Earth.

    Smartphone-owning star gazing fans can now turn their device into a powerful space watching telescope thanks to a new gadget.

    The book-sized Hestia has an adjustable cradle to fit just about any phone made now or in the future.

    It features six 30 mm lenses in three groups.

    Light entering the system is routed by prisms to focus up toward the camera array on the rear of a user’s smartphone.

    Adjustable magnets help the user to line up the main camera so that it rests on Hestia's eyepiece.

    Sensor size and image definition will depend on the smartphone used with the telescope, but up to 25x magnification is possible.

    A companion mobile app uses proprietary processing algorithms to combine numerous short-exposure images to form a single enhanced view of the night sky through the lens.

    The app also makes an interactive map of the sky available to the user, which assists in locating interesting targets as well as unit positioning for best results.

    A library of astronomical information can also be accessed through the app focused on whatever the user is looking at in the night sky.
