Remnants of the Supernova of Sails - Part of the Vela Supernova Remnant - Rest of the Supernova of Sails. The supernova exploded 12,000 years ago and is approximately 815 light years away from Earth. Image obtained with the 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope from Siding Spring. About 120 centuries ago an inconspicuous star in what is now the constellation of Vela brightened by about 100 million times to rival the Moon as the brightest object in the night sky. This photograph shows a portion of the north - western quadrant of an expanding nebulous shell, which now surrounds the site of the explosion. Near the centre of the nebula (and not seen here) is the Vela pulsar, a rapidly - spinning neutron star only a few kilometres in diameter, the remnant of the star that exploded. This tiny object spins about 11 times a second and until recently was among the faintest stars ever studied at optical wavelengths, a far cry from its brief glory as one of the brightest stars ever seen

Interacting galaxies NGC 3256 - Interacting galaxies NGC 3256 - The special galaxy NGC 3256 is located about 100 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Sails. A vestige of the collision of two galaxies, this system presents a double nucleus and many young clusters of stars. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on November 5, 2001. NGC 3256 is an impressive example of a peculiar galaxy that is actually the relict of a collision of two separate galaxies that took place in a distant past. The telltale signs of the collision are two extended luminous tails swirling out from the galaxy. NGC 3256 belongs to the Hydra - Centaurus supercluster complex and provides a nearby template for studying the properties of young star clusters in tidal tails. The system hides a double nucleus and a tangle of dust lanes in the central region. The tails are studded with a particularly high density of star clusters. Image taken by the Hubble space telescope on November 5

Constellations de la Compsole, la Machine Pneumatica et les Voiles - Constellations Antlia, Pyxis and Vela - Constellations de l'hemisphere sud Antlia (originally Antlia Pneumatica, the Air Pump) is an unremarkable constellation invented by the Abbe Nicolas de Lacaille in the 1750s. It is hemmed in by the meandering body of Hydra to the north and the sparkling constellations of the Milky Way to the south. It contains a fine planetary nebula, NGC 3132 and a beautiful spiral galaxy, NGC 2997. Pyxis (Pyxis Nautica, the Mariner's Compasse) is the least interesting fragment of the great vessel Argo Navis, dismantled by Lacaille. The other parts are Puppis (the stern), Carina, (the keel) and Vela. Vela (the sails) is best known for the supernova remnant seen on large telescope pictures and the Gum nebula, visible as faint red nebulosity towards the right (west) of the constellation. Best seen in the early evening in March - April Other constellations in the image: Carina, Centaurus, Corvus,

Remains of the Crab Supernova (M1) in the Taurus - This image, made by the Very Large Telescope in November 1999, shows in detail the gas remains of the supernova that exploded in 1054. In the center of the picture, the pulsar of the Crab. M1 with the FORS2 instrument in imaging mode in the morning of November 10, 1999. It is the remnant of a supernova explosion at a distance of about 6,000 light - years, observed almost 1000 years ago, in the year 1054. It contains a neutron star near its center that spins 30 times per second around its axis In this picture, the red light is predominantly produced by hydrogen emission from material ejected by the star that exploded. The blue light is predominantly emitted by very high - energy (“relativistic”) electrons that spiral in a large - scale magnetic field (so - called syncrotron emission). It is believed that these electrons are continuously accelerated and ejected by the rapidly spinning neutron star at the centre of the nebula and which is

It is the remnant of a supernova explosion at a distance of about 6,000 light - years, observed almost 1000 years ago, in the year 1054. It contains a neutron star near its center that spins 30 times per second around its axis In this picture, the red light is predominantly produced by hydrogen emission from material ejected by the star that exploded. The blue light is predominantly emitted by very high - energy (“relativistic”) electrons that spiral in a large - scale magnetic field (so - called syncrotron emission). It is believed that these electrons are continuously accelerated and ejected by the rapidly spinning neutron star at the centre of the nebula and which is

Constellations de la Compsole, la Machine Pneumatica et les Voiles - Constellations Antlia, Pyxis and Vela - Constellations de l'hemisphere sud Antlia (originally Antlia Pneumatica, the Air Pump) is an unremarkable constellation invented by the Abbe Nicolas de Lacaille in the 1750s. It is hemmed in by the meandering body of Hydra to the north and the sparkling constellations of the Milky Way to the south. It contains a fine planetary nebula, NGC 3132 and a beautiful spiral galaxy, NGC 2997. Pyxis (Pyxis Nautica, the Mariner's Compasse) is the least interesting fragment of the great vessel Argo Navis, dismantled by Lacaille. The other parts are Puppis (the stern), Carina, (the keel) and Vela. Vela (the sails) is best known for the supernova remnant seen on large telescope pictures and the Gum nebula, visible as faint red nebulosity towards the right (west) of the constellation. Best seen in the early evening in March - April Other constellations in the image: Carina, Centaurus, Corvus,

Bacteries and archeobacteries (archaea) began to populate the Earth's surface while the atmosphere was still filled with volcanic gases and probably without oxygen. In this illustration, these micro-organisms came out of the ocean to attach themselves to the rock remains of a caldera, bringing colour to this monochrome landscape. 770 million years after the formation of the Earth - - 3.8 billion years ago - - the first life may have appeared in the form of simple, single - celled organisms.

Woolly rhinoceros - Woolly rhinoceros - Woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), also known as cloisonnee nostrils, was a species of large rhinoceros (1.6 to 2 metres high at withers and up to 3.5 metres long, weighing 2 to 3 tonnes) characterized by A thick woolly fleece. He lived in the cold steppes which covered in Pleistocene much of Eurasia. At its peak, less than 30,000 years ago, it was found from central Spain and southern England to Mongolia and southern Siberia. A woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) wanders the snow-covered terrain of Northern Europe 200 thousand years ago. In the foreground is a common rabbit of the family Leporidae. About the size, and maybe a little larger, than today's white rhinoceros, the woolly rhinoceros is believed to be related to the modern Sumatran rhinoceros.

This image obtained from the Hubble space telescope shows the filamentous structures of gases heated in contact with the shock wave. Composite of images obtained in August 2003 and May 2004; cumulative poses of 6 hours 30 minutes - Visible-light images from the Hubble telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys reveal where the supernova shock wave is slamming into the densest regions of surrounding gas. The bright glowing knots are dense clumps from instabilities that form behind the shock wave. The Hubble data also show thin filaments of gas that look like rippled sheets seen edge-on. These filaments reveal where the shock wave is encountering low-density, more uniform interstellar material. Hubble's image was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on August 28/29, 2003 & May 26, 2004 for a total of 6.5 hours: Remains of the supernova K

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group. This image obtained from the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma shows the nucleus of the galaxy. This nucleus is double, probably the vestige of a collision with another galaxy. At the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy M31 is a tiny, bright nucleus, seen to be slightly elongated on this colour picture. Hubble Space Telescope pictures show the nucleus to be a double structure, possibly the remains of the nucleus of another galaxy which has now been almost completely absorbed in M31. Around the binary nucleus swirls a huge cloud of mostly old, faint stars. This not only reveals the inner nucleus but also shows traces of dust which seem to stream into the bright central part of the galaxy. Studies of the stars around the nucleus strongly suggest that at the heart of
