This meteor streaking toward the horizon through the early morning sky of January 4th is from the annual Quadrantid meteor shower. Aligned with the shower’s radiant point high in the north (off the top of the view), the meteor trail passes to the right of bright bluish star Beta Scorpii. Remarkably, near the top of the trail is a small spot, the fuzzy greenish glow of a comet. Discovered in July of 2007, Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3), is too faint now to be easily seen by the unaided eye, but will likely brighten to become visible to skygazers by late February. The well-timed skyscape featuring both comet and meteor is particularly appropriate as cometary bodies are known to be the origins of planet Earth’s annual meteor showers.

alltimetv.net Become my friend on myspace CERN is conducting an underground launch on Wednesday the 10th of September 2008 of their Large Hardon Collider to see if it will be successful. Now they have moved the launch date of the full experiment to October 21st of 2008. That is next month! Hope all goes well, and trust me a probability is a probability, just like the atomic bomb. Good luck to us all! http blackhole cern on earth chaos dooms day stupid scientists physics matter science

NASA Astronomy Pictures Of The Day [Week 2/2010]. — • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — ? The Spider and The Fly Bright clusters and nebulae abound in the ancient northern constellation of Auriga. The region includes the open star cluster M38, emission nebula IC 410 with Tadpoles, Auriga’s own Flaming Star Nebula IC 405, and this interesting pair IC 417 (lower left) and NGC 1931. An imaginative eye toward the expansive IC 417 and diminutive NGC 1931 suggests a cosmic spider and fly. About 10000 light-years distant, both represent young, open star clusters formed in interstellar clouds and still embedded in glowing hydrogen gas. • Learn more: antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Atlantis to Orbit The launch of a rocket bound for space is an event that inspires awe and challenges description. The Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off to visit the International Space Station during the early morning hours. • Learn more: antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Ancient Layered Hills on Mars What may appear to some as a terrestrial coastline is in fact a formation of ancient layered hills and wind-blown sand on Mars. The pictured region spans about three kilometers in Schiaparelli Crater. What created the layers of sediment is still a topic of research. The image was taken with the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. • Learn more: antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ?
