30 Doradus.jpg30-Doradus and the Tarantula Nebula130 visiteFirst cataloged as a star, 30 Doradus is actually an immense Star Forming Region in nearby galaxy "The Large Magellan Cloud".
The Region's spidery appearance is responsible for its popular name, the Tarantula Nebula, except that this tarantula is about 1000 LY across, and 180.000 LY away in the Southern Constellation "Dorado".
If the Tarantula Nebula were at the distance of the Orion Nebula (1500 LY), the nearest stellar nursery to Earth, it would appear to cover about 30° on the sky or 60 full moons.
The spindly arms of the Tarantula Nebula surround NGC 2070, a cluster that contains some of the intrinsically brightest, most massive stars known.
Intriguing details of the nebula's core can be seen in this remarkable skyscape, a composite of 31 hours of exposure time.
This cosmic Tarantula also lies near the site of the closest recent supernova (1987a).

Medusa_Nebula.jpgAbell 21130 visiteIl giorno 15 Marzo 2023, Malcolm Gilbreath, Fratello della mia compianta Consorte Ginny, ha raggiunto la Mamma e la Sorella nei Cieli. Un male orribile l'ha portato via a 55 anni.
Non so che pensare, ma una Famiglia sventurata come quella della Mia Ginny non riesco né voglio immaginarla.
Anyway, Goodbye Malcolm! I'm sure we'll meet again, some day. A Silent Prayer. - Dr Paolo C. FiengaMareKromium

Vega-PIA07217_modest.jpgImpact near Vega: the origin of a "dust ring" around the Star129 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This artist concept illustrates how a massive collision of objects perhaps as large as the planet Pluto smashed together to create the dust ring around the nearby star Vega. New observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope indicate the collision took place within the last one million years. Astronomers think that embryonic planets smashed together, shattered into pieces and repeatedly crashed into other fragments to create ever finer debris.
In the image, a collision is seen between massive objects that measured up to 2.000 Km (about 1.200 miles) in diameter. Scientists say the big collision initiated subsequent collisions that created dust particles around the star that were a few microns in size. Vega's intense light blew these fine particles to larger distances from the star and also warmed them to emit heat radiation that can be detected by Spitzer's infrared detectors".

BH-Black-Hole.jpgComputer simulation of a Black-Hole from start to finish127 visitePlasma is falling slowly toward the black hole in a (at the upper left). The plasma has a magnetic field, shown by the white lines. It picks up speed as it falls toward the hole in b (at the upper right), c (lower left) and d (lower right). However, the rotating black hole twists up space itself (and the magnetic field lines) and ejects electromagnetic power along the north and south poles above the black hole. The red and white color shows the immense electromagnetic power output, which eventually will pick up particles and form squirting jets.

Blobs-PIA07221_modest.jpgGiant Galactic Blobs127 visite"...Non vi alcun dubbio: coloro che riescono a non pensare al reale significato della propria Esistenza e coloro che non sono capaci di porsi domande sul senso ed il valore della propria e dell'altrui Vita, devono - per forza - essere gi morti.
Nessuna Creatura vivente, infatti, pu - semplicemente - ignorare il fatto di esistere, di essere parte di una Specie, di possedere un Valore ed una Dignit - al pari di qualsiasi altro Essere - e di avere a propria disposizione un tempo limitato..."
