CHXR-73 ArtisticVision.jpgCHXR-73 - Companions... (1)102 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have photographed one of the smallest objects ever seen around a normal star beyond our Sun. Weighing in at 12 times the mass of Jupiter, the object is small enough to be a planet. The conundrum is that it's also large enough to be a brown dwarf, a failed star. The Hubble observation of the diminutive companion to the low-mass red dwarf star CHXR-73 is a dramatic reminder that astronomers do not have a consensus in deciding which objects orbiting other stars are truly planets -- even though they have at last agreed on how they will apply the definition of "planet" to objects inside our Solar System".

Star Forming Region DR21.jpgStar forming region "DR 21 - Cygni" - SST100 visiteDeep in the normally hidden recesses of giant molecular cloud DR 21, a stellar nursery has been found creating some of the most massive stars yet recorded. The orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Array Camera opened the window into the cloud in mid- infrared light. The cloud is opaque to visible light because of dense interstellar dust. Noticeable in the above representative color infrared Spitzer image are huge bubbles, a complex tapestry of dust and gas and very massive stars. The infrared filaments actually glow because of organic compounds known as "PAHs". The intricate patterns are caused by complex interactions between interstellar winds, radiation pressures, magnetic fields, and gravity. The pictured region spans about 75 LY and lies about 6.000 LY distant toward the constellation of Cygnus.

Phi Persei.jpgPhi Persei100 visite"...Come fiori colorati, esotici, dalle forme curiose ed affascinanti, sono le Galassie;
E splendidamente opalescenti sono le nuvole di Orione e di Pegaso, che ci rammentano che ogni cosa ha una fine;
Anche le Stelle, magnifiche Entit� di Luce, la cui Vita rasenta i margini dell'Infinito...
In questo Giardino Incantato, che si chiama Universo, osservo crescere nuove piante;
I semi gettati, dall'alba del Tempo, continuano a crescere ed a germogliare;
E nuove meraviglie ci attendono, se avremo coraggio, oltre le Porte dell'Alba, ai margini dell'Infinito..."
Paolo Catello Fienga
