Amature Astronomer: First Close up of a White Dwarf with its Companion Star

http://amature-astronomer.blogspot.com/2009/09/first-close-up-of-white-dwarf-with-its.html

First Close up of a White Dwarf with its Companion Star. The European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton orbiting X-ray telescope captured the first close-up of a white dwarf star, circling a companion star, that could explode into a particular kind of supernova in a few million years. These supernovae are used as beacons to measure cosmic distances and ultimately understand the expansion of our universe. That future is a spectacular one. The star is likely to explode in a few million years. Althoug...Hubbl...

Amature Astronomer: Neighboring Galaxies Collided 2-3 Billion Years Ago

http://amature-astronomer.blogspot.com/2009/09/neighboring-galaxies-collided-2-3.html

Neighboring Galaxies Collided 2-3 Billion Years Ago. An international team of astronomers, including Queen's University physicist Larry Widrow, have uncovered evidence of a nearby cosmic encounter. Their study indicates that the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies, the two galaxies closest to our own, collided about two to three billion years ago. The possible orbit of the Triangulum galaxy around Andromeda. (Credit: Image courtesy of Queen's University)*. The Pan-Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS), l...

Amature Astronomer: Saturn Moon Titan and its Propane Rich Atmosphere

http://amature-astronomer.blogspot.com/2009/09/saturn-moon-titan-and-its-propane-rich.html

Saturn Moon Titan and its Propane Rich Atmosphere. Titan's atmosphere is extremely rich in an assortment of hydrocarbon chemicals, including propane, which we use to fill our barbecue tanks," said Cassini scientist Conor Nixon of the University of Maryland, College Park. "Titan's atmospheric inventory would fuel about 150 billion barbecue cookouts.". It was not so much that measuring propane was our endgame, but it helps enormously in our hunt for other complex molecules," said Nixon. "These include ...

Amature Astronomer: New Galaxy with Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole

http://amature-astronomer.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-galaxy-with-most-distant.html

New Galaxy with Most Distant Supermassive Black Hole. Posted in black holes. University of Hawaii astronomer Tomotsugu Goto and colleagues have discovered a giant galaxy surrounding the most distant black hole ever found. The galaxy, which is 12.8 billion light-years from Earth, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbors a supermassive black hole that contains at least a billion times as much matter as does our Sun. Knowledge of the host galaxies of supermassive black holes is important to understan...

Hubble’s New Pictures. Posted in eletromagnetic spectrum. The first snapshots from the refurbished Hubble showcase the 19-year-old telescope's new vision. Topping the list of exciting new views are colorful multi-wavelength pictures of far- flung galaxies, a densely packed star cluster, an eerie "pillar of creation," and a "butterfly" nebula. Butterfly emerges from stellar demise in Planetary Nebula NGC 6302. (Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble SM4 ERO Team)*. Now that Hubble has reopened for business, it...
