NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a spectacular new image of an iconic nebula to celebrate its 23 years of peering deep into the heavens.
The Hubble observatory, which launched on April 24, 1990, captured the Horsehead Nebula in infrared light, peering through obscuring veils of dust to reveal the object's hidden features.
"The result is a rather ethereal and fragile-looking structure, made of delicate folds of gas -- very different to the nebula's appearance in visible light," mission officials wrote in an image description today (April 19). The new observations allowed astronomers to create a dazzling video of the Horsehead Nebula based on Hubble's photos.
The Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, is located about 1,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Orion (The Hunter). The Horsehead is a huge interstellar cloud of gas and dust, like other nebulae, and the light from a nearby star gives it a beautiful glow.
The object is a popular observing target, and Hubble has taken numerous Horsehead photos over the years -- including in 2001, to celebrate the telescope's 11-year anniversary.
The Horsehead's dramatic pillar is made of sterner stuff than the clouds surrouding the nebula, which have already dissipated. But the pillar will disintegrate as well in another 5 million years or so, astronomers say, and the Horsehead will go the way of the dodo.
The Hubble Space Telescope is perhaps best known for its photos in visible light. But the telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, which was installed by spacewalking astronauts in 2009, also takes crisp images in infrared wavelengths, researchers said.
Hubble, a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency, has made more than 1 million science observations since its 1990 launch, and it's still going strong. NASA announced last month that it had extended the telescope's science operations through April 2016.
NASA's highly anticipated successor to Hubble, the $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope, is slated to blast off in 2018. JWST is optimized to view in infrared light.
This has not been a great week for America. First there was the Boston Bombing and then we have this Texas Plant Explosion. I really do not know what to make out of the Boston Bombing. Basically, based on what I have read so far, authorities (FBI, CIA, and Homeland Security) are pretty much clueless as to who could be responsible for the Boston bombing. So far, no body has accepted responsibility for the attack. Therefore, it is way too early to be able to say who is responsible or somehow analyze the event. To be honest, the only thing we could do is sympathize with the victims and those who lost loved ones. Having lived in a country where event like the Boston Bombing used to be a weekly tragedy, I understand their pain and suffering.
Texas Plant Explosion does not seem to be a terrorist attack. Rather it seems to be a horrible tragedy in a small town. Here is an amateur video of the event and an interview with person who shot the footage. It is truly horrific.
Today is the Remembrance Day for Israeli Fallen Soldiers. So I decided to choose one of my favorite songs. The most amazing part is that this is one of the most popular Jewish religious singers. He comes from the Ultra-Orthodox of Jewish Society. The same society that a lot of the liars in Pro-Palestinian Camp and Left are trying to portray as anti-Israel. However, this guy sings the song that entails a prayer that every Jew will sing at their happiest moment of their lives which is, “If I forget you Jerusalem, I shall forget my right hand (fighting hand)”. This is a very important prayer.
If you watch this video and fast forward to 1:09, he says in Hebrew, “Come on Khayalim (soldiers in Hebrew)” and then he says in Hebrew, “these OUR soldiers in Israeli Defense Forces, and I thank you for your services”. And then he continues with this song.
So what better way of remembering our fallen soldiers by honoring the live one like this guy did in his concert? This is from the most religious society of New York Jewry. At the end of the day, WE ARE ALL JEWS AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE HOMELAND. There are a lot of people, even some confused ones in our religion who try to prove otherwise, but Israel is the Jewish Homeland for us. The only people who are protecting us are the Israeli Soldiers. Although we may not agree on everything that Israel does, but at the end of the day we are all Jews. This is the concept that many people, Anti-Semites, Pro-Palestinians, Left, and anybody with hatred of Jews are trying to destroy.
Am Israel Kay and thank you the fallen soldiers for dedicating your life for our people?
Today is Monday and I am starting my week. I have a tough week ahead of me especially after all the time that I took off for Passover. I saw this Article that says Topless Protester confronts Angel Merkel and Putting and there was a picture above it. I saw Putin’s face and I could not stop laughing. The look on his face is absolutely priceless. So I decided to share it on my blog.
Here is the blown-up version since some people do are not familiar with Putin's face.
We Shall Never Forget! I am not going to write too much about this day; however I must say that I am thankful that we have Israel today to defend the Jews. The reason is quite simple, if it wasn't for military superiority of IDF and Israel's existence as a whole, the Jews would still be considered second class citizens in many nations especially the ones who are crying for Human Rights.
See what happens when you allow crazy countries get Nukes? They will take the whole world hostage to grasp attention for themselves. I believe North Korea and the stupidity that is going on in the Far East could teach U.S and the Europe the danger of allowing crazy nations acquire nuclear capability. For a long time, Bush’s administration ignored the issue of North Korea while they were building nuclear bombs. To make matters worse, North Korea is cooperating and sharing every bit of knowledge and experience they acquired with the crazy religious government of Iran. That means disaster. North Korea is a Communist country and they do not even believe in after-life. Now Imagine the crazy government of Iran who openly talk about the “blessing of dying for the Allah’s Cause” and becoming “Shahid,” getting nuclear weapon. Iranian government believes in the 12th Imam who should be resurrected through a deadly war with Israel (as they have claimed) in an apocalyptic fashion. This is perfect proof why Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear knowledge under any circumstances. The future of humanity is depended on it.
