First Scoop Panorama
This 360-degree scene shows the surroundings of the location where NASA Mars rover Curiosity arrived on the 59th Martian day, or sol, of the rover\'s mission on Mars (Oct. 5, 2012). It is a mosaic of images taken by Curiosity\'s Navigation Camera (Navcam) on sols 59 and 60.
Smooth surfaces of the windblown sand and dust of the \"Rocknest\" area, in the foreground, are what signaled from a distance that this might be an appropriate place to spend about three weeks collecting and using the mission\'s first few scoopfuls of soil. The rover scooped up its first sample on Sol 61 (Oct. 7, 2012). South is at the center of this panorama, north at both ends. Mount Sharp is on the horizon in the southeast. The \"Glenelg\" area planned as the next destination lies to the east. Tracks that Curiosity\'s wheels made while driving toward Rocknest recede toward the west. For scale, Curiosity leaves parallel tracks about 9 feet (2.7 meters) apart. The scene is presented here as a cylindrical projection. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech More... |
Planetary Nebulae
This gallery shows four planetary nebulas from the first systematic survey of such objects in the solar neighborhood made with NASA\'s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The planetary nebulas shown here are NGC 6543, also known as the Cat\'s Eye, NGC 7662, NGC 7009 and NGC 6826. In each case, X-ray emission from Chandra is colored purple and optical emission from the Hubble Space Telescope is colored red, green and blue.
In the first part of this survey, published in a new paper, twenty one planetary nebulas within about 5000 light years of the Earth have been observed. The paper also includes studies of fourteen other planetary nebulas, within the same distance range, that Chandra had already observed. A planetary nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution that the Sun should experience several billion years from now. When a star like the Sun uses up all of the hydrogen in its core, it expands into a red giant, with a radius that increases by tens to hundreds of times. In this phase, a star sheds most of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that will soon contract to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful, shell-like filamentary structures seen with optical telescopes. The diffuse X-ray emission seen in about 30% of the planetary nebulas in the new Chandra survey, and all members of the gallery, is caused by shock waves as the fast wind collides with the ejected atmosphere. The new survey data reveal that the optical images of most planetary nebulas with diffuse X-ray emission display compact shells with sharp rims, surrounded by fainter halos. All of these compact shells have observed ages that are less than about 5000 years, which therefore likely represents the timescale for the strong shock waves to occur. About half of the planetary nebulas in the study show X-ray point sources in the center, and all but one of these point sources show high energy X-rays that may be caused by a companion star, suggesting that a high frequency of central stars responsible for ejecting planetary nebulas have companions. Future studies should help clarify the role of double stars in determining the structure and evolution of planetary nebulas. These results were published in the August 2012 issue of The Astronomical Journal. The first two authors are Joel Kastner and Rodolfo Montez Jr. of the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, accompanied by 23 co-authors. NASA\'s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Chandra program for NASA\'s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

About Kristiina: Kristiina Lahde received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in (Halifax, NS) in 1999. Lahde works in collage, sculpture and installation. In 2011, her work was featured in the 7th edition of La Biennale de Montréal. She has recently been awarded a Creation Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts and a Mid-Career Grant from the Ontario Arts Council. She will be participating in a residency at Open Studio (Toronto, ON) in Fall 2012. Lahde re-works everyday materials with mathematical precision that transforms them into perverse geometric constructions, releasing them from their utilitarian origins. http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...0imyVo0JY/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...0imyVo0JY/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...wM:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...wM:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...wM:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/PaPAr94bOQQ More... |
