  • Popular Names of Deep Sky (Galaxies,Nebulae and Clusters) Viciana’S List
    POPULAR NAMES OF DEEP SKY (GALAXIES,NEBULAE AND CLUSTERS) VICIANA’S LIST 2ª version August 2014 There isn’t any astronomical guide or star chart without a list of popular names of deep sky objects. Given the huge amount of celestial bodies labeled only with a number, the popular names given to them serve as a friendly anchor in a broad and complicated science such as Astronomy The origin of these names is varied. Some of them come from mythology (Pleiades); others from their discoverer; some describe their shape or singularities; (for instance, a rotten egg, because of its odor); and others belong to a constellation (Great Orion Nebula); etc. The real popular names of celestial bodies are those that for some special characteristic, have been inspired by the imagination of astronomers and amateurs. The most complete list is proposed by SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space). Other sources that have been used to produce this illustrated dictionary are AstroSurf, Wikipedia, Astronomy Picture of the Day, Skymap computer program, Cartes du ciel and a large bibliography of THE NAMES OF THE UNIVERSE. If you know other name of popular deep sky objects and you think it is important to include them in the popular names’ list, please send it to [email protected] with at least three references from different websites. If you have a good photo of some of the deep sky objects, please send it with standard technical specifications and an optional comment. It will be published in the names of the Universe blog. It could also be included in the ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF POPULAR NAMES OF DEEP SKY.

    9/25/2014 Comet Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Comet Galaxy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Comet Galaxy is a spiral galaxy located 3.2 billion light-years from Earth, in the galaxy cluster Abell 2667, was found with the Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy has a little more mass than our Comet Galaxy Milky Way. It was detected on 2 March 2007.

PGC 3234374 See also: Galaxy, List of galaxies Galaxy fate The comet galaxy is currently being ripped to pieces. Moving through a cluster at speeds of greater than 2 million mph, is one of the main reasons the gas and stars of the galaxy are being stripped away by the tidal forces of the cluster. Other factors adding to the damage of the galaxy are the cluster's scorching gas plasma. As the galaxy speeds through, its gas and stars are still being stripped away by the tidal forces exerted by the cluster - just as the tidal forces exerted by the moon and Sun push and pull the Earth's oceans.

  • Beyond the Solar System
    science/activity Ages 9 & up CAR S ON Humans have gazed into the night sky for thousands of years and wondered, What are those twinkling lights? The sun, moon, and planets moved across the background of stars, but the stars themselves appeared immovable, forever fixed in constellations. Only when astronomers began taking a closer look did anyone realize what a fascinating, ever-changing universe lies beyond our • solar system—red giant and white dwarf stars, spiral galaxies, wispy nebulae, black holes, and much more. BEYOND THE SOLAR SY Beyond the Beyond the Solar System traces the evolution of humankind’s astronomical knowledge, from the real- ization that we are not at the center of the universe to recent telescopic proof of planets orbiting stars outside our solar system. In addition to its engaging history, this book con- tains minibiographies of famous astronomers, a time line of major discoveries, a glossary, websites to explore, and 21 hands-on projects. Kids will: Solar System ➼ build a 3-D representation of the constellation Orion ➼ model the warping of space-time caused by a black hole ➼ create an astrolabe to chart the moon, planets, and stars S Exploring Galaxies, Black Holes, ➼ see how the universe expands using an inflating balloon TE ➼ construct a reflecting telescope out of a makeup mirror and a magnifying glass M ➼ and more! Alien Planets, and More Mary Kay Carson has written more than 30 nonfiction books for children, including Exploring the Solar • System and The Wright Brothers for Kids, both of which received the Children’s Literature Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

  • Introduction (PDF)
    Activity Book 1 2 Introduction Youth Astronomy Apprenticeship The Youth Astronomy Apprenticeship (YAA) program is an out-of-school time initiative that uses an apprenticeship model to promote science learning among urban teenage youth and their communities. One of the primary goals of YAA is to broaden the awareness of science education as an effective way of promoting overall youth development and of practicing the skills needed to compete for today’s science and technology professional opportunities. Following the apprenticeship model, youth in YAA first participate in an after-school astronomy-training program. After the training is completed, the successful participants become astronomy apprentices who work with educators and other professionals to create astronomy outreach initiatives directed at their own communities. Through the youths’ work and their presence among their communities as science ambassadors, YAA aims to promote involvement and support for science learning among the general public. During the YAA after-school program, youth engage in a variety of astronomy explorations using a combination of hands-on and computer- based that are collected in the YAA Activity Book. As they engage in these activities, youth learn to use a network of educational telescopes called MicroObservatory, which are controlled via the Internet. Youth learn to use software tools to process astronomical images, produce reports and presentations about their project that they share among their peers and the an online community of MicroObservatory users. In the process, youth develop important skills, including logical reasoning, inquiry, completing self-directed tasks, collaborating with others, oral and written communication, and other employable skills used in the sciences and in many other professional fields.

  • HEIC0705: for RELEASE 15:00 (CET)/9:00 AM EST 2 March, 2007
    HEIC0705: FOR RELEASE 15:00 (CET)/9:00 AM EST 2 March, 2007 http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/html/heic0705.html News release: Hubble sees “Comet Galaxy” being ripped apart by galaxy cluster 2-March 2007 The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster’s gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years. The new observations also show one mechanism to form the millions of “homeless” stars seen scattered throughout galaxy clusters. There are many galaxies of different shapes and sizes around us today. Roughly half are gas- poor elliptical-shaped galaxies with little new star formation activity, and half are gas-rich spiral and irregular galaxies with high star formation activity. Observations have shown that gas-poor galaxies are most often found near the centre of crowded galaxy clusters, whereas spirals spend most of their lifetime in solitude. The mystery, gleaned from deep observations of the Universe, is that when the Universe was half its present age only one in five galaxies was a gas-poor galaxy. So, where do all of today’s gas-poor galaxies come from? Scientists suspect that some kind of transforming process must have taken place, but because galaxy evolution occurs over billions of years, scientists have so far not been able to see the transformation at work. New observations with Hubble by an international team led by Luca Cortese of Cardiff University, United Kingdom, provide one of the best examples to date of this metamorphosis.
