LIVE IMAGES FROM UNIVERSE # part 3 of 6

Movie about Hubble Space Telescope pictures. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a space shuttle in April 1990. It is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well-known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, and is one of NASA’s Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.Hubble is the only telescope ever designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. The spacecraft in which the telescope and instruments were to be housed was another major engineering challenge. It would have to adequately withstand frequent passages from direct sunlight into the darkness of Earth’s shadow, which would generate major changes in temperature, while being stable enough to allow extremely accurate pointing of the telescope. A shroud of multi-layer insulation keeps the temperature within the telescope stable, and surrounds a light aluminum shell in which the telescope and instruments sit. Within the shell, a graphite-epoxy frame keeps the working parts of the telescope firmly aligned. Hubble has helped to resolve some long-standing problems in astronomy, as well as turning up results that have required new theories to explain them. Among its primary

También, el canal de los vídeos originales en YouTube es www.youtube.com Opino que estos vídeos son una manera fantástica de hacer merecido tributo a estos científicos que tan bien desempeñan, o han desempeñado, su labor divulgativa. ¡Que lo disfruten! —– English —– You can find tose videos in the official page of the project: symphonyofscience.com, and dowload them or the mp3. Also, their YouTube channel is http Our thought about those videos is that they are an amazing way to tribute to those scientists, who make science a wonderful world for everyone. We hope you enjoy them, as we do. —– Letra / Lyrics —– [Sagan] If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch You must first invent the universe Space is filled with a network of wormholes You might emerge somewhere else in space Some when-else in time The sky calls to us If we do not destroy ourselves We will one day venture to the stars A still more glorious dawn awaits Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise A morning filled with 400 billion suns The rising of the milky way The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths Of exquisite interrelationships Of the awesome machinery of nature I believe our future depends powerfully On how well we understand this cosmos In which we float like a mote of dust In the morning sky But

LHC Sets Collision Record – New Era For Particle Physics

logo

CERN News: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sets collision record – new era in the history of particle physics. Spotlight on CERN – LHC First Physics — On March 30th 2010, first high-energy collisions took place at 7 TeV in the LHC, creating a phenomenal quantity of data. This not only marked the start of a new era for particle physics but also presents an enormous challenge in the field of computing, in terms of data transfer, storage and processing. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, a synchrotron intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 trillion electronvolts (1.12 microjoules) per particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus. The term hadron refers to particles composed of quarks. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing our understanding of the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the intention of testing various predictions of high-energy physics, including the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted by

Purchase: hilaroad.com This video demonstrates how to find the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). This galaxy is 2.5 million light years from earth but with some basic knowledge of the night sky and a pair of binoculars it is actually possible to see it! The video is designed for anyone interested in astronomy and it also provides support for the astronomy component of any science curriculum.

Sky Merger – Interacting And Colliding Galaxies

logo

Hubblecast 31: Sky merger yields sparkling dividends. A recent NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures what appears to be one very bright and bizarre galaxy, but is actually the result of a pair of spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way smashing together at breakneck speeds. The product of this dramatic collision, called NGC 2623, or Arp 243, is about 250 million light-years away in the constellation of Cancer (the Crab). This object was a target of Hubble’s and a handful of its “sibling” spacecraft as part of a massive comprehensive sky survey called GOALS. — • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Not surprisingly, interacting galaxies have a dramatic effect on each other. Studies have revealed that as galaxies approach one another massive amounts of gas are pulled from each galaxy towards the centre of the other, until ultimately, the two merge into one massive galaxy. The object in the image, NGC 2623, is in the late stages of the merging process with the centres of the original galaxy pair now merged into one nucleus. However, stretching out from the centre are two tidal tails of young stars showing that a merger has taken place. During such a collision, the dramatic exchange of mass and gases initiates star formation, seen here in both the tails. The prominent lower tail is richly populated with bright star clusters — 100 of them have been found in these observations. The large star clusters that the team have observed in the merged galaxy are brighter
