Open cluster NGC 4755 - Jewel Box - The Jewel Box star cluster - The NGC 4755 cluster is located in the constellation of the Southern Cross at a distance of 6400 years - light from Earth. The bright orange star on the top right is Kappa Crucis, a supergiant red star. This cluster contains about fifty stars formed about 16 million years ago. This close-up of the center of the cluster was obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. This image is a “” close - up 'view from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of NGC 4755, or the Jewel Box cluster. Several very bright, pale blue supergiant stars, a solitary ruby - red supergiant and a variety of other brilliantly coloured stars are visible in the image, as well as many much fainter ones, often with intriguing colours. The huge variety in brightness exists because the brighter stars are 15 to 20 times the mass of the Sun, while the dimmest stars are less than half the mass of the Sun. This is the first image of an open galactic cluster with im

Globular cluster 47 Toucan - The globular cluster 47 Tucanae NGC 104 - The globular cluster 47 Toucan (or NGC 104) is visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere. Located about 15000 years ago - light it contains several million stars, some of which are among the oldest stars known today. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Among the many spectacular objects in the southern skies are two magnificent naked - eye globular clusters, omega Centauri and 47 Tucanae. These ancient cities of stars are captives of the Milky Way but were formed long before our Galaxy assumed its present shape, indeed these clusters have some of the oldest known stars. 47 Tuc is about 15,000 light years distant and contains several million stars, as many as some minor galaxies. The crowded central region leads to occasional stellar encounters and it is in 47 Tuc that rapidly - spinning pulsars have been discovered by radio astronomers. Although the light of globular clust

August 24, 2016: The three stars that make up the Centaur Alpha system are the closest stars to the Sun. Proxima du Centaur is located at a distance of 4.22 light years from the Sun but is invisible to the naked eye. Alpha Centauri A and B are a little further away, 4.36 light years from the Sun. These two stars are relatively similar to the Sun. Although Proxima of Centauri is distant from the Alpha couple of Centauri, its movement seems to link it to this system and is sometimes called Alpha Centauri C - This image of the sky around the bright star Alpha Centauri AB also shows the much fainter red dwarf star, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System. The picture was created from pictures forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The blue halo around Alpha Centauri AB is an artifact of the photographic process, the star is really pale yellow in colour like the Sun

IC 2944 in Centaur - Stellar nursery IC 2944 - View of the cluster of stars IC 2944 near which Bok's blood cells are visible. A Bok's blood cell is a dark interstellar cloud of gases and dust that absorb light. If it condenses enough, it gives birth to new stars. This intriguing new view of a spectacular stellar nursery IC 2944 is being released to celebrate a milestone: 15 years of Eso's Very Large Telescope. This image also shows a group of thick clouds of dust known as the Thackeray globules silhouetted against the pale pink glowing gas of the nebula. These blood cells are under fierce bombardment from the ultraviolet radiation from nearby hot young stars. They are both being eroded away and also fragmenting, rather like lumps of butter dropped onto a hot frying pan. It is likely that Thackeray's globules will be destroyed before they can collapse and form new stars

Evaporation of the Aral Sea - Evaporation of the Aral Sea - Comparison of satellite images taken on 19 August 2000 (left) and 16 August 2009 (right) by the Terra satellite. In overprint, the shore of the Aral Sea in 1960. In the first half of the 20th century, the Aral Sea was the fourth largest lake. In the 1960s, the Sovietic Union began a massive irrigation project in what is now Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, moving water from rivers that feed the Aral Sea to irrigate agricultural land. In August 2009, virtually nothing remains of the eastern lobe of the southern Aral Sea. In 2005, Kazakhstan built the Kok-Aral dam between the northern and southern parts of the lake to successfully preserve water levels in the north. The southern part of the Aral Sea is considered irrecuperable. Comparison of satellite images taken on August 19 2000 (left) and August 16 2009 (right) by satellite Terra.

The Vesuve seen at Radar - 15/04/1994 Mt. Vesuvius, one of the best known volcanoes in the world primarily for the eruption that buried the Roman city of Pompeii, is shown in the center of this radar image. The central cone of Vesuvius is the dark purple feature in the center of the volcano. This cone is surrounded on the northern and eastern sides by the old crater rim, called Mt. Somma. Recent lava flows are the pale yellow areas on the southern and western sides of the cone. Vesuvius is part of a large volcanic zone which includes the Phalagrean Fields, the cluster of craters seen along the left side of the image. The Bay of Naples, on the left side of the image, is separated from the Gulf of Salerno, in the lower left, by the Sorrento Peninsula. Dense urban settlement can be seen around the volcano. The city of Naples is above and to the left of Vesuvius; the seaport of the city can be seen in the top of the bay. Pompeii is located just below the volcano on this image. The rapid er

A common spoonbill in the Central Zoo of Kathmandu, Nepal. The Common Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family Threskiornithidae, native across southern Eurasia from Spain to Japan, and north Africa. Most birds migrate to the tropics in winter, with European breeders going to Africa, but a few remaining in mild winter areas of western Europe north to the UK. This species is almost unmistakable through most of its range. The breeding bird is all white except for its dark legs, black bill with a yellow tip, and a yellow breast patch like a pelican. It has a crest in the breeding season. Non-breeders lack the crest and breast patch, and immatures have a pale bill and black tips to the primary flight feathers. Unlike herons, spoonbills fly with their necks outstretched. May 6, 2007. (photo)

Constellations of the Unicorn and the Little Dog - Constellations of Monoceros and Canis Minor - Constellation of the Unicorn, at its right Orion, at the top left the Little Dog with the star Procyon, at the bottom of Sirius. The stars Sirius, Procyon and Betelgeuse form the asterism of the winter triangle. Monoceros constellation, at right: Orion, top left Canis Minor with Procyon, bottom Sirius in Canis Major. Monoceros (the Unicorn) represents mythical creature set among the stars. This one has the forelegs and (horned) head of a horse, the hindquarters of a stag and the tail of a lion. Such creatures are sometimes seen in Assyrian (~ 2500 - 600 BCE) carvings, and have been interpreted as originating in traveller's tales of the Indian or African rhinoceros. The modern constellation sits astride both the Milky Way and the celestial equator. It is also enclosed on three sides by the bright stars of the Winter Triangle (Sirius, Procyon and Betelgeuse).

Such creatures are sometimes seen in Assyrian (~ 2500 - 600 BCE) carvings, and have been interpreted as originating in traveller's tales of the Indian or African rhinoceros. The modern constellation sits astride both the Milky Way and the celestial equator. It is also enclosed on three sides by the bright stars of the Winter Triangle (Sirius, Procyon and Betelgeuse). Of course this refers to the nort

Milky way all around the horizon and Gegenschein - Fisheye view of the southern sky. The lactee path blends with the horizon line. In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it towards the right middle of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. Crossing the image on the right, the gegenschein, the blade glow made up of dust reflecting the light of the sun, observable only in a dense sky of any parasite light. The bright spot near the center of the image is Jupiter Planet. The following image was taken at new Moon (No Moon light), middle of the night (minimum zodiacal light effect), in the Atacama desert close to Paranal observatory (no light pollution). The chosen place for this picture has the particularity to be located at a latitude which value is close to the declination of the galactic southern pole. The picture was therefore also taken when the galactic pole passes at zenith, ensuring that there is no Milky Way up i

Lactee route au raz de l'horizon - Paranal horizon in the milky way plane - Fisheye view of the southern sky. The lactee path blends with the horizon line. In the sky, the three brightest galaxies visible on Earth: the two galaxies of the Magellan Cloud, and opposite it to the top right of the image, the galaxy of Andromede. A laser shot from one of the domes of the VLT is visible as well as the gegenschein, the blade glow consisting of dust reflecting the light of the sun, observable only in a dense sky of any parasite light. A fish-eye view of southern sky in Chile. Milky way is visible along the 360 degrees of the horizon line. Also visible are Gegenschein at zenith, Paranal observatory with Laser Guide Star, and the three brightest galaxies visible on earth (the large Magellanic clouds and Andromeda galaxy)
