The Webb images show tightly packed sheets, with filaments displaying structures on what NASA called "remarkably small scales," of about 400 astronomical units, or less than one-hundredth of a ...
Selection of astronomical bodies and objects: Moon Mimas and Ida, an asteroid with its own moon, Dactyl; Comet Lovejoy and Jupiter, a giant gas planet; The Sun; Sirius A with Sirius B, a white dwarf; the Crab Nebula, a remnant supernova; A black hole (artist concept); Vela Pulsar, a rotating neutron star
SN 1054 remnant (Crab Nebula)A supernova is an event in which a star destroys itself in an explosion which can briefly become as luminous as an entire galaxy.This list of supernovae of historical significance includes events that were observed prior to the development of photography, and individual events that have been the subject of a scientific paper that contributed to supernova theory.
A meteor streaks through the night sky early Monday during the annual Perseid meteor shower behind St Mark's Tower, a 17th century coastal fortification near the village of Bahar ic-Caghaq, Malta.
Sequence of HST images from 1994 to 2009, showing the collision of the expanding remnant with a ring of material ejected by the progenitor 20,000 years before the supernova [41] The three bright rings around SN 1987A that were visible after a few months in images by the Hubble Space Telescope are material from the stellar wind of the progenitor.
The Super Meteor 650 shares a resemblance to its younger counterpart, the Meteor 350, but with a more muscular appearance. It features a wide and low-slung seat, offering a relaxed riding position ideal for long-distance journeys. The cruiser aesthetics are enhanced by its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, scooped seat, and robust fenders. [6]
SN 2010lt is about 20" west and 10" north of the galaxy center. It is a sub-luminous (1991bg-like) type Ia supernova and was discovered when near maximum light. The supernova could not be detected (detection limit approximately 18.5 of apparent magnitude) at its current position on images taken between October 2005 and March 2006. [1]
Hypatia is a small stone found in Egypt in 1996. It has been claimed to be both a meteorite [1] and kimberlite debris. [2] [3] It has also been claimed to be the first known specimen of a comet nucleus on Earth, although defying physically-accepted models for hypervelocity processing of organic material. [4]
