Universe Images
Black Sun and Inverted Starfield2012 October 15
This image of our Sun was captured originally in a very specific colour of red light, then rendered in black and white
and then colour inverted. Once complete it was added to a starfield and colour
inverted again. As a result we can see long filaments, dark active regions ,
prominences peaking around de edge and a moving carpet of hot gas. It shows how
the Sun is nearing solar maximum.
A Spiral Nebula Surrounding
Star R Sculptoris 2012 October 16
This unusual spiral structure has been discovered around Milky Way star R
Sculptoris, a red giant star located about 1,500 light years away, toward the
constellation of the Sculptor (Sculptoris). The photo was taken by the new Atacama
Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the most powerful telescopic array
observing near millimeter wavelengths .
A quintet in the universe
This heap of galaxies placed in the constellation of Pegasus is called
Stefan's Quintet. This five galaxies are as different as interesting. Two of them are
in the center, almost close. They are placed to approximately 300 million light
years of distance and they were photographed by the new camera of the
Hubble in 2009.
Over 180.000 stars appear on this photo, captured by the camera of the Hubble,
focusing the centre of our galaxy, in order to find exoplanets. Planets that
orbit the far-off stars cannot be observed directly, but by means of a wide range of astronomic technologies it’s possible to
calculate its situation.
Searching for planets
The birth of the stars
In this stellar heap called NGC 602, near the Little Magallanes Cloud, millions of
young stars issue radiation and energy as waves that erode the material that
surrounds them, creating interesting formations. The size of what this image
shows covers about 200 light years from side to side.
