ITV News Volcano erupts in south Iceland & Man takes pictures from space on digital camera

ITV News Volcano erupts in south Iceland. Man takes pictures from space on digital camera. A man in West Yorkshire has managed to snap some stunning photos of the Earth from space using a compact Canon digital camera and a hot air balloon kit that cost him just £500. Robert Harrison, of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, constructed his space photography kit using off-the-shelf components that cost him around £500. He mounted a standard, four mega pixel Canon digital camera to a hot air balloon. The camera was hooked up to a small, Linux-based computer that was set to wake up the camera at set intervals and snap a picture. A GPS unit allowed Harrison to recover his camera when the balloon eventually came back to Earth. The resulting photos are so stunning, that NASA has apparently been in touch with Harrison to learn how he managed to capture such high quality images so cheaply. Several galleries of photos can be seen at Harrisons Flickr page, while his blog contains details of his various launches and the hardware used to construct his clever hot air balloon rig.

A video on Mars presenting vrmars Astronomy Software. An astronomical video presenting a 3D panorama (anaglyph) of the planet Mars taken by nasa’s Mars Rover Spirit during the MER Mission (sol 93). The video was created with the help of advanced astronomy software vrmars-Spirit – The Red Planet Mars 3D, released by Sciterian Technologies and powered by the virtual reality technology vrpresents that gives the user the feel of being on the surface of Mars. It’s a great astronomical video for science, astronomy and space exploration enthusiasts. Download demos of this astronomical application at www.vrmars.com or www.vrmars.com/vrmars-Spirit-The-Red-Planet-Mars-3D.htm and enjoy roving Mars. See this planet like you were nasa’s Mars Rover.

NASA Astronomy Pictures Of The Day [Week 2/2010]

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.

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 One Ring of Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. Saturn, along with Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, is classified as a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian, meaning “Jupiter-like”, planets. The planet Saturn is composed of hydrogen, with small proportions of helium and trace elements. The interior consists of a small core of rock and ice, surrounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen and a gaseous outer layer. The outer atmosphere is generally bland in appearance, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1800 km/h, significantly faster than those on Jupiter. Saturn has a planetary magnetic field intermediate in strength between that of Earth and the more powerful field around Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. Sixty-one known moons orbit the planet, not counting hundreds of “moonlets” within the rings. Titan, Saturn’s largest and the Solar System’s second largest moon (after Jupiter’s Ganymede), is larger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to possess a significant atmosphere
