Eagle Nebula

2009-09-24T12:39:00.001-07:00

The Eagle Nebula got its name from the birdlike form that tops this massive pillar of gas and dust. The nebula is located 7,000 light-years away. But there is more to this nebula, then the overall picture.

Inside the Eagle nebula tall pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming.

This next image is from the top part of the nebula were a giant star is heating the gases and creating a shock wave that is creating new born stars.

Star Clusters

This is a forming solar system the small dots are planets

This type planet is very large its type is one of the first humans disoverd. It's rotation around its sun is about once every ten minutes and its larger then Jupitor(which is our largest planet in our solar system).

Very cool image taken by hubble.

This was a snap shot that they are unable to find again. Just good timeing.

Im not sure what this is but it kind of looks like Neptune.

$150 million AMC-14 satellite written off as 'space junk'

2008-04-13T22:25:00.000-07:00

After a rocket failure during launch, the craft pulled up 5,000 miles short of its planned target and will be retired.

A $150 million satellite which was to deliver television services to the US has been written off as a piece of 'space junk' after the 'complete failure' of its launch a month ago.

The satellite, manufactured by Lockheed-Martin and launched aboard an unmanned Russian rocket last month, was intended to deliver TV services to viewers in the US, Mexico and Central America as part of the Echo Star network.

But the failure of one of the booster rockets during the launch meant that the machine, called AMC-14, pulled up approximately 5,000 miles short of its planned altitude of 22,400 miles.

SES, the Luxembourg-based satellite group which commissioned the project, was initially hopeful that it may be able to reposition the satellite into its "intended geostationary orbit". In a statement today, however, the company said that changing the satellite's location was too risky, and that it had "no choice but to claim a total loss of the satellite with our insurers."

SES said it did not expect its revenues to be affected by the write-off, however, and that the investment was "fully insured". The AMC-14 was supposed to have a service life of up to 15 years.

It was launched on March 15 aboard an unmanned rocket from the Baikonur space facility, in Kazakhstan. The Russian-owned Khrunichev State Research and Production Centre, which made the Proton-M rocket carrying the satellite, said that it was conducting a review the incident.

Mark Rigolle, the chief financial officer of SES, said: "The loss of any satellite is a disappointment, and the failure of AMC-14 means there will be no revenues from this program. We expect (however) to receive the insurance proceeds of approximately $150 million in the next few months."

SES said that AMC-14 was in a "stable orbit", but that it would soon be retired.

Titan moon's surface could be hiding an ocean: study

2008-03-20T12:59:00.000-07:00

Saturn's large, smog-enshrouded moon Titan. An ocean may be hiding below the crust of Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, teaming up with its dense atmosphere to cause shifts on the moon's surface, a study said Thursday.

PASADENA, Calif.—Scientists say they have found the best evidence yet that an ocean of liquid water may be hidden below the surface of Saturn's giant moon Titan.

If the results are confirmed, it would be a starting point for further study into whether the ocean could be capable of supporting life.

The latest evidence of an underground ocean is indirect and is based on analyzing radar images and Titan's spin rates from observations by the international Cassini spacecraft from 2004 to 2007.

Scientists found several dunes, channels, lakes and other geological features on Titan's surface drifted from a fixed point, likely as a result of an increase of the moon's rotation.

Using modeling techniques, scientists determined that winds in Titan's atmosphere exert a torque on the lunar surface and concluded there must be a liquid ocean below. Such a large shift would not be seen if the interior was a solid core, they said.

"Only because the crust is thin and decoupled from the deep interior by this ocean is the wind able to move the crust around as much as we see," lead author Ralph Lorenz of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

The findings were described in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.

If an internal ocean exists on Titan, it would likely be buried below 62 miles of ice and made of water and traces of ammonia, Lorenz said.

In an accompanying editorial,Christophe Sotin of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena and Gabriel Tobie of the University of Nantes in France wrote that further observations are needed to test for the existence of an underground ocean.

"If the interpretation that Titan has an internal ocean is supported by other measurements, then Titan is a place where organics are produced and where liquid water is present," they wrote.

The presence of an underground ocean could help explain how Titan replenishes methane in its smoggy atmosphere.

Titan is one of the few objects in the outer solar system with a significant atmosphere, and scientists have long puzzled over the source of its methane. They have theorized that methane is locked in the ice covering and released through processes involving an ocean below.

The Cassini probe, a project of NASA and international partners, previously found evidence of hydrocarbon seas on Titan's surface.

XMM-Newton Space Telescope

2007-12-01T00:35:00.000-08:00

After launch from Kourou, French Guiana on 10 December 1999, the European Space Agency's X-ray Multi-Mirror satellite is the most powerful X-ray telescope ever placed in orbit. Scientists are sure the mission will help solve many cosmic mysteries, ranging from enigmatic black holes to the formation of galaxies.

Many celestial objects generate X-rays in extremely violent processes. But Earth's atmosphere blocks out these X-rays, messengers of what occurred in the distant past when stars were born or died, and clues to our future. Only by placing X-ray detectors in space can such sources be detected, pinpointed and studied in detail. XMM-Newton, the largest science satellite ever built in Europe, has an unprecedented sensitivity.

XMM-Newton carries three very advanced X-ray telescopes. They each contain 58 high-precision concentric mirrors, delicately nested to offer the largest collecting area possible to catch the elusive X-rays. These Mirror Modules allow XMM-Newton to detect millions of sources, far more than any previous X-ray mission.

Approaching Jupiter
Date: 02.03.1979
This is the original Voyager 'Blue Movie' (so named because it was built from Blue filter images). It records Voyager 1's approach during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. Notice the difference in speed and direction of the various zones of the atmosphere. The interaction of the atmospheric clouds and storms shows how dynamic the Jovian atmosphere is.

As Voyager 1 approached Jupiter in 1979, it took images of the planet at regular intervals. This sequence is made from 66 images taken once every Jupiter rotation period (about 10 hours). This time-lapse movie uses images taken every time Jupiter longitude 68W passed under the spacecraft. These images were acquired in the Blue filter from Jan. 6 to Feb. 3 1979. The spacecraft flew from 58 million kilometers to 31 million kilometers from Jupiter during that time.
