Hubblecast 29: Mission Accomplished – Healing Hubble. The fifth and final mission to the iconic Hubble Space Telescope was a long time coming. After a delay in the fall of 2008, spring brought new hope and, on 11 May, the seven Space Shuttle crew members headed for the mission of a lifetime. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Credits: • ESA/Hubble (M.

Hubblecast 06: A Battle Of Giants – Telescopes In Space And On The Ground. Have you ever wondered why some telescopes are launched into space while others are built on remote mountain tops? What is actually the best for astronomy? Here we provide a ringside view of the fight for the elusive photons from deep space – is it a battle of the telescope giants? — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Credit: • ESA/Hubble (M.

My thoughts on the video I’m responding to, and the on-going troll war in the comments of it. PLEASE NOTE: EXPANDING EARTH THEORY WAS NOT CREATED BY NEAL ADAMS, IT WAS CREATED BY SAMUEL WARREN CAREY, FOUNDING PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA. en.wikipedia.org Sorry for the caps, but the dismissal of the theory based on Adams’ position without society tends towards tediousness and pseudo-intellectualism.. and also signifies my disdain for how some people, who consider themselves scientific, act. The original video: www.youtube.com Neal Adam’s Channel: www.youtube.com Continental Drift: en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org Dark Matter: en.wikipedia.org Origins of water on planet Earth: en.wikipedia.org Ironically, it talks about Earth as it was billions of years ago (40% smaller radius).

SN 1987A was a supernova in the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy. It occurred approximately 51.4 kiloparsecs from Earth,[1] close enough that it was visible to the naked eye. It could be seen from the Southern Hemisphere. It was the closest observed supernova since SN 1604, which occurred in the Milky Way itself. The light from the supernova reached Earth on February 23, 1987. As the first supernova discovered in 1987, it was labeled “1987A”. Its brightness peaked in May with an apparent magnitude of about 3 and slowly declined in the following months. It was the first opportunity for modern astronomers to see a supernova up close.

A supernova (pl. supernovae) is a stellar explosion. Supernovae are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy, before fading from view over several weeks or months. During this short interval, a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun could emit over its entire life span.[1] The explosion expels much or all of a star’s material[2] at a velocity of up to 30000 km/s (a tenth the speed of light), driving a shock wave[3] into the surrounding interstellar medium. This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant.

resolution images of planets and moons in our own Solar System, it has also taught us a lot about our own cosmic neighbourhood. Hubble cannot observe our Sun, or the closest planet, Mercury, because its instruments are light-sensitive and would be damaged. However, the telescope has examined every other planet in the solar system, including dwarf planets Pluto, Ceres and Eris. But, of course, Hubble does not just produce pretty pictures, it provides planetary scientists with vital …
