Eclipse over the Temple of Poseidon The Moon moved to partly block the Sun for a few minutes last week as a partial solar eclipse became momentarily visible across part of planet Earth. In the above single exposure image, meticulous planning enabled careful photographers to capture the partially eclipsed Sun well posed just above the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. • antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Dust Sculptures in the Rosette Nebula Noted for the common beauty of its overall shape, parts of the Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2237, show beauty even when viewed up close. Visible above are globules of dark dust and gas that are slowly being eroded away by the energetic light and winds by nearby massive stars. Left alone long enough, the molecular-cloud globules would likely form stars and planets. The Rosette Nebula spans about 50 light-years across and lies about 4500 light-years away. • antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Watch Jupiter Rotate What would it be like to coast by Jupiter and watch it rotate? This was just the experience of the New Horizons spacecraft as it approached and flew by Jupiter. Visible above in the extensive atmosphere of the Solar System’s largest planet are bands and belts of light and dark clouds, as well as giant rotating …

Hubblecast Episode 40: Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) – Hubble’s New Miracle Camera In early 2009, a team of astronauts visited Hubble to repair the wear and tear of twenty years of operating in a hostile environment – and to install two new instruments, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, and Wide Field Camera 3 – better known as WFC3. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is a combined ultraviolet, visible and infrared camera that dramatically extends Hubble’s ability to image astronomical objects. With these new capabilities, Hubble is still pushing the boundaries of science after two decades in orbit. In episode 30 of the Hubblecast, we saw some of the very first pictures to come back from Wide Field Camera 3, Hubble’s newest and most advanced instrument. Today we’re going to look at some of the science behind these pictures. We’ll find out how this remarkable new camera is helping Hubble to see the invisible, look far back in time and spot objects further away from us than ever before. WFC3 was installed on Hubble in place of WFPC2, the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, which for many years had been the main workhorse instrument on Hubble. Not only do the two instruments have very similar names, and look virtually identical, the capabilities of WFC3 are also in some respects just a tweaked version of those of its predecessor — although with sharper pictures and more …

One of the Universe’s open questions maybe a step closer to be answered thanks to over 30 atoms of antihydrogen that have been trapped and stored by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Cern. According to a written statement, this opens the path to new ways of making detailed measurements of antihydrogen, which will allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter, the latter being what annihilates ordinary matter in a single explosive flash of energy.

Orbiting nearly 650 kilometres above the Earth, the Hubble space telescope has been our most powerful window on soaring star factories. It has been instrumental in providing the existence of black holes and has captured the cataclysmic end of stars far larger than our own sun. Rocking a long-established theory about universe existence, Hubble proved that the universe is expanding more and more quickly, which could ultimately destroy our entire universe. The telescope also provided the first stunningly-detailed images that illustrate how embryonic stars are born from gas and dust clouds. First recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 AD, Hubble has tracked the debris from a thousand year old supernova still moving into space at approximately 5 million kilometres an hour. When scientists focused Hubble on Jupiter, they were able to watch in real time the devastating effect of a comet hitting the massive planet. But the 12-ton telescope will soon be lost forever as it slowly spirals towards Earth, and astronauts will travel back into space to repair Hubble before the telescope is eventually shut down and sent back to Earth.

Astronomers believe they’ve found the oldest thing they’ve ever seen in the universe: It’s a galaxy far, far away from a time long, long ago. Hidden in a Hubble Space Telescope photo released earlier this year is a small smudge of light that European astronomers now calculate is a galaxy from 13.1 billion years ago. That’s a time when the universe was very young, just shy of 600 million years old. That would make it the earliest and most distant galaxy seen so far. Source: AP/ESO
