Planet around the star Fomalhaut - Planet orbiting star Fomalhaut - Artist's view of the extrasolar planet Fomalhaut b, a planet with a mass close to Jupiter, orbiting the star Fomalhaut, 25 years ago - light from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Fish. Located at a distance of about four times that separating Neptune from the Sun, Fomalhaut b makes a complete orbit around its star in 872 years. This illustration shows the discovered planet, Fomalhaut b, orbiting its sun, Fomalhaut. This structure is a Saturn - like ring that astronomers say may encircle the planet. Fomalhaut also is surrounded by a ring of material. The edge of this vast disk is shown in the background as the curving cloud - like feature that appears to intersect the 200 - million year - old star. Fomalhaut b lies three billion kilometers inside the disk's inner edge. The planet completes an orbit around Fomalhaut every 872 years

Planetary nebula NGC 6537 in Sagittarius - Hubble observations have revealed huge waves sculpted in the Red Spider nebula. This warm and windy planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars in the Universe and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometers high - intimidating for even the bravest space surfers. The Red Spider Nebula, NGC 6537, is a striking 'butterfly' or bipolar (two - lobed) planetary nebula. Planetary nebulae are the glowing embers of ordinary stars, such as our Sun. At the end of their lives these stars expel most of their material into space, often forming a two - lobed structure as in the case of the Red Spider. These waves are driven by stellar winds radiating from the hot central star, much as a wind passing over a lake can generate waves on the water. The waves reach peaks 100 billion kilometers high and must have been produced by a powerful wind blowing with a speed of 2000 - 4500 kilometers per second (about 7 - 16 million km/hr). The w

Viswakarma, exterior view. The cave known as Vishvakarma (named after the archietect to the gods), is a 7th century cave and one of the latest rock-cut Buddhist chaityas in Western India. The elaborate facade at the end of the large open court has a pillared verandah which admits into the long interior, with an open gallery above. The gallery's roof is carved into the imitation of a wooden one with ribs and rafters, and above it is a series of auspicious mithuna (or loving) couples. In the rear wall of the gallery, which is decorated with celestial flying figures, windows, one circular within an arch (a relic of the horseshoe shaped arches of early Buddhist chaitya halls), admit light into the interior

March - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Mars - Volcanos Ceraunius Tholus and Uranius Tholus - Image obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor probe in March 2002. This image shows the volcanoes Ceraunius Tholus (bottom) and Uranius Tholus (top). The presence of impact crateres on these volcanoes indicates that these volcanoes are old. The crater at the top of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km in diameter. Acquired in March 2002, this Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera wide angle view shows the martian volcanoes, Ceraunius Tholus (lower) and Uranius Tholus (upper). The presence of impact craters on these volcanoes, particularly on Uranius Tholus; indicates that they are quite ancient and are not active today. The light - toned area on the southeastern face (towards lower right) of Ceraunius Tholus is a remnant of a once more extensive deposit of dust from the global dust storm events that occurred in 2001. The crater at the summit of Ceraunius Tholus is about 25 km (

Planetary nebula NGC 2899 dans les Voiles - A distorted planetary nebula, NGC 2899 - This nebula is located about 3000 years from Earth. Image obtained by the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring Planetary nebulae present a wide variety of forms on the sky, partly because of the random orientation of their parent stars but also because the nebulae themselves can have quite different intrinsic shapes. Theories about the shapes of planetaries range from the influence of binary companions to the central star to the distribution of material around the stars during its red giant phase, before the final outburst. Whatever the mechanism, most planetaries are symmetrical about one or more axes and only rarely do they appear curved like NGC 2899. A possible explanation is that the star from which the nebula was ejected had a large proper motion through space. The resulting nebula has the same velocity but vastly lower density than the star so is distorted by its encounter with the tenuous interstell

Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) and M16 star cluster in the Snake - Eagle nebula in Serpens - The Eagle Nebula is a cluster of massive young stars (M16) surrounded by clouds of gas and dust. The three columns in the center of the image were sculpted by the intense radiation emitted by these massive stars. Stars will be born in these clouds if they survive the intense radiation that erodes these pillars. Messier 16 is a cluster of young stars which formed about 2 million years ago from the gas and dust which still surrounds them. Brilliant blue stars of this type are much hotter than the Sun and can be up to thirty times more massive. The dark intrusions visible across the face of the nebula are condensations of dusty material which might one day collapse into yet more stars, should they survive the radiation from the bright stars, which is gradually etching them away. Bright red regions of photo - ionised hydrogen such as M16 are usually found in the spiral arms of galaxies and are often associ

Black Holes in 3C75 - Black Holes in 3C75 - Composite X-ray image (blue) and radio (pink) of the active galaxy 3C 75. At the center of this very hot gas mass, two supermassive black holes separated by 25,000 years - light form a binary system of black holes (the two bright points). This composite X - ray/radio image of Abell 400 shows radio jets (pink), immersed in a vast cloud of multimillion degree X - ray emitting gas (blue) that pervades the cluster. The jets emanate from the vicinity of two supermassive black holes (bright spots in the image) in the galaxy. Chandra and radio data confirm that the unusual structure is due to the merger of two large galaxies, whose supermassive black holes are bound together by their mutual gravity. The swept - back appearance of the radio jets is produced by the rapid motion of the galaxy through the hot gas of the cluster, in much the same way that a motorcyclist's scarf is swept back while speeding down the road

Hubble Nebula (NGC 2261) in Unicorn - NGC 2261, Hubble's variable nebula - The Hubble Nebula is a weak nebulosite that surrounds the star R Monocerotis (R Mon), the bright star at the bottom of the nebula. The mass of the star R Mon is about 10 times that of the sun. It is approximately 2600 light years away and is only 300,000 years old. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Hubble's variable nebula is in Monoceros and was the first object to be photographed with the famous 200 inch Hale Telescope at Palomar in 1948. This curious object is a reflection nebula in which is embedded the star R Monocerotis. Variations in the appearance of the nebula were noted by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1916. They are probably caused by opaque clouds of dust passing between the hidden star and the outskirts of the nebula we see, the moving shadows changing the apparent form of the glowing dust in an irregular way. This picture was made from three AAT plates taken over several y

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.

The most massive region of star formation is around 30 Doradus (the Tarantula nebula) which can be seen with the unaided eye, but hundreds of lesser examples are visible with a telescope. This picture shows one of the more intriguing, NGC 2014 (Henize 55), at right. It contains cluster of hot, young stars, almost hidden in the brightest part of the nebula. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster. This picture was made photographically from three glass plates taken with the UK Schmidt telescope of Siding Spring

This image is a composite of X-ray images (blue) obtained by the Chandra Space Telescope and visible (green and red) by the Hubble Space Telescope. The study of very hot gas observed in X-ray allows us to better understand the star formation activity within this nebula. NGC 604, is one of the largest known seething cauldrons of star birth in a nearby galaxy. NGC 604 is similar to familiar star - birth regions in our Milky Way galaxy, such as the Orion Nebula, but it is vastly larger in extent and contains many more recently formed stars. This monstrous star - birth region contains more than 200 brilliant blue stars within a cloud of glowing gases some 1,300 light - years across, nearly 100 times the size of the Orion Nebula. The bright stars in NGC 604 are extremely young having formed a mere 3 million years ago. The most massive stars

Street scenes in Buenos Aires. Between 1865 and 1914, the population of Buenos Aires swelled from 150,000 to 1.5 million. The bulk of this contingent was made up of immigrants from Europe, and Italy in particular. At the beginning of the 20th century, in the slums and in the red light districts, there occurred a fusion of all the musical traditions of immigrants, natives, original Spanish settlers and Black slaves. Something completely new was born Ð the tango. Blacks brought the syncopated rhythms and the proximity of the bodies, Jewish settlers added the violin, German immigrants the bandoneon, Italians the haunting melodies of Sicily, and Spanish, the sometimes joyful, sometimes mournful intensity of the Andalucian tango, a form of canto flamenco.

Planetary nebula NGC 5189 in the fly - This nebula is located about 3000 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of the fly. Image obtained by the Gemini and Hubble telescopes (HST). NGC 5189 is a planetary nebula. At the end of its life, a star with a mass less than eight times that of the Sun will blow its outer layers away, giving rise to a planetary nebula. Some of these stellar puffballs are almost round, resembling huge soap bubbles or giant planets (hence the name), but others, such as NGC 5189 are more intricate. In particular, this planetary nebula exhibits a curious S” - shaped profile, with a central bar that is most likely the projection of an inner ring of gas discharged by the star, seen edge on. The details of the physical processes producing such a complex symmetry from a simple, spherical star are still the object of astronomical controversy. One possibility is that the star has a very close (but unseen) companion. Over time the orbits drift due to precess
