Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com The Hidden Universe (Episode 20): Cassiopeia A – Echoes of a Supernova A supernova flash echoing through surrounding dust clouds has given astronomers a virtual time machine for studying the light from the explosion that nobody saw. This is the Hidden Universe of NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, exploring the mysteries of infrared astronomy with your host Dr. Robert Hurt. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — It’s the 17th century supernova that nobody saw, but telescopes in space and on Earth have teamed up to look back in time and study it today! When a massive star reaches its end of days it explodes dramatically and, for a few months, can outshine anything else in the galaxy. Earlier supernovas had been seen by many, often shining brighter than the planets. Of course with no witnesses, and no records, it’s difficult to tell exactly what kind of supernova it was. A team led by astronomer Oliver Krause has, over the last few years, made a remarkable series of infrared observations of the region. These Spitzer Space Telescope images show shifting patterns of glowing dust beyond the remnant itself. These changes are so fast that they indicate motion at the speed of light! To get what’s happening we have to remember that light moves fast, but in such a vast galaxy it still takes a while for it to get anywhere. Cassiopeia A (Cas A) itself is about 11000 …

This montage was created to demonstrate that it is the scientific method alone that has elevated the standard of living of many populations to soaring heights and can do so for all the world’s people. Science is not an ideology, but a method. A method which can free us from the shackles of destructive, divisive, superstitious thinking and create a peaceful, sustainable world where the united human race harmonises with the laws of nature, rather than arrogantly ignores them. —————————— You as a human being have evolved to respond to the world around you on impulse. You will instinctively jump out of the way if, say, a bus comes careening towards you. You know it would have a fatal effect if you didn’t. Even if you had never seen such a thing happen to a person before, you can instinctively calculate the weight of the bus, its size, its speed, and you will know that your frail body does not stand a chance. You know this because your very perception is built to comprehend the world in which you live. Defy it, and you will perish. As soon as you realise that this is a certain fact of life, you can apply that mentality to everything that you do. As the old Stoic saying goes: ‘Virtue exists in a will which is in agreement with nature’. This means that if what you choose to do is done without resistance to what you cannot control, then you will not encounter suffering as much. It is a certainty that you cannot break the laws of nature. They are firmly stuck …

Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered (Episode 14): A Runaway Star In order to get observing time on Hubble, an astronomer needs a well-thought-out plan of exactly what to observe and the science that may be learned. However, the universe is continually surprising us by providing unanticipated…

Some of the most stunning Nebulae and Galaxies are shown, as obtained by the Hubble telescope. Stargazing is a passion of mine, so this video was a natural outflow. Music: Chillout 2003. Enjoy!

Just using some tunes of the the 97′ techstep drum and bass era with its technological sci-fi sounds and metal futuristic alien sounds. The video is comprised of nasa space images which gives the theme of flying through space with eerie dark unknown sounds of techstep darkness. This mix is not about harmony in anyway or beat matching, it is just based on themes that sound similar but in one music session for youtube.

Edited By: Jeronimo Mauregui – Here a fast and fascinating journey through the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope photographed dozen of interacting galaxies. Also an incredible animation of how this is carried out. Enjoy the beauty! For More: www.hubblesite.org Music 1 – Buckethead – Formless Present 2 – Pink Floyd – Echoes

Another video, this time, with some home made optics experiment… I believe that gravity works as a piramid. At center, space is shorter. Outside, space is larger. The light speed depends from the distance between the points in my graphics. All was made with blender. A pyramid Prisma, a lighter and a plastic plate. On the graphics, the net represents the ways that light could take for accelerate…if these spaces remains stable, for exemple, inside of a gravitational field, light will have a constant speed. but if they change too much, light will slow down his speed. If the acceleration increases or decresase over the square of the stable velocity, matter will be generated. If the acceleration is enough, mass is transfered into the past…keeping universe nucleous mass estable…this happens continuously, and this is the reason for the ilusion of the universe expansion… NOTE: The pictures are the light focused on the pyramid. From the top of the pyramid (from lower to higher density). And from underground pyramid (from higher to lower density). The white plastic was used as a projection screen. In the first pictures, pyramid is above it and light enters from underground, forming the circular shape when top viewed. In the other photos, the prisma is up-side-down, with light entering from the top. The patterns on the projected light seems as a flower then…or even, a galaxy shape, depending on the angles of light focus…:-) You should see a cross on the photos, but …

Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com “The Andromeda Galaxy” with Jane Houston Jones at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224) is a spiral galaxy approximately 2500000 light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It is the nearest spiral galaxy to our own, the Milky Way. As it is visible as a faint smudge on a moonless night, it is one of the farthest objects visible to the naked eye, and can be seen even from urban areas with binoculars. It is named after the princess Andromeda (Greek: ????????? Androméd?) in Greek mythology. Andromeda is the largest galaxy of the Local Group, which consists of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 30 other smaller galaxies. Although the largest, Andromeda may not be the most massive, as recent findings suggest that the Milky Way contains more dark matter and may be the most massive in the grouping. The 2006 observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed that M31 contains one trillion stars, several times more than the number of stars in our own galaxy, which is estimated to be c. 200-400 billion. While the 2006 estimates put the mass of the Milky Way to be ~80% of the mass of Andromeda, which is estimated to be 7.1 × 1011 solar masses, a 2009 study concluded that Andromeda and the Milky …
