This Saturday, A full moon of blue flower will appear in the night sky

The full moon of May is typically known as the flower moon due to all the blooms of this month. This year coincides with a rare occurrence: a blue moon.


To see a dramatic full moon over the skyline of Rome, watch the live broadcast provided by the Virtual Telescope Project.Of course, this Saturday's moon will not really be blue. And the reason for the name is a bit confusing.

The Solar Telescope technology captured the highest resolution images of the solar surface


The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope has formed the highest resolution image of the Sun's surface ever taken located on the Hawaiian island of Maui. This image covers an area of ​​36,500 x 36,500 km. The Sun has been studied for many years. To unveil all its mysteries, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope - DIST,

Astronomers found a pair of dead stars that can be placed between the Earth and the Moon


Astronomers using the NICER telescope found in the group of the Altar a pair of dead stars that could easily be placed between the Earth and the Moon. White dwarf and pulsar are located at a distance of 300 thousand kilometers from each other. The findings of the researchers were published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.

A Close Look at the young cosmos

Astronomers for the first time a more detailed look at the development time of normal galaxies succeeded. Observations of an international team of researchers with the radio telescope ALMA plant in the Chilean Atacama Desert show fresh cool gas from which new stars can form, apart from the central region of a young galaxy

ALMA telescope expose ancient galaxies at record speed


The team of astronomers used the new telescope ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array), to discover the location of more than a hundred galaxies with the most active star formation in the early universe. ALMA telescope is so powerful that just a few hours, he made ​​many observations of distant galaxies, as has been done like all other telescopes around the world for more than a decade.

Lovers of free space will show the sky with a telescope


On Saturday, October 13, at Kreschaty park at People's Friendship Arch space fans get together around Kiev - from 20:00 under the arch to celebrate the opening day of astronomy will be free to take a look in the telescope.

"We expose telescopes on the street and allowed anyone to look at the space objects - say the organizers of the festival. - We observe Jupiter and all the rest, what will please us Kiev sky! Log, of course, free."

Australia has built a powerful new telescope


Australia celebrates the finishing point of construction the telescope, which is considered the most powerful telescope for radio survey in the world. The Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to look at black holes, gas clouds from which stars form, and "unusual objects that are on the edge of our understanding of the physical laws of the universe," said astrophysicist Brian Boyle (Brian Boyle) Organization of Australian Scientific and Industrial Research of the Commonwealth.

The largest solar telescope in Europe

Appointment the photo gallery of Northern Lights, name is Gregor and there is just been installed at the Observatorio del Teide of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC). Besides being the solar telescope largest in Europe, this is the third in size in the world. Has an aperture of 1.5 meters, which together with the new adaptive optics system that compensates for atmospheric turbulence, achieves picture quality that, until now, no solar telescope had gained ground, both in the visible range and in the infrared.

OPTICAL / INFRARED ESO


ESO will put together the telescope optical / infrared world's largest. At its meeting today in Gracing, ESO Council has approved [1] the program of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), pending the confirmation of four ad referendum votes. The E-ELT will start with the science operations early next decade.

Describe the Spitzer Telescope


About The Spitzer telescope is a reflector of lightweight Witchery-Chretien. Weighs less than 50 kg and is designed to operate at an extremely low temperature. The telescope has a hole of 85 cm in diameter. All parties except the support of the mirror are made of lightweight beryllium. Beryllium is a very strong material that works well in the construction of space telescopes infrared, because has a specific heat low to very low temperatures. The telescope is attached to the upper shell of the Crystal cooled by steam, which maintains the science instruments too cold.

Spitzer Space Telescope Technology


About the three main instruments of Spitzer and this Spacecraft has to be cooled a few degrees above absolute zero to function properly, and the spacecraft needs to operate at room temperature, sometimes these two main components are referred to as the portions "cold" and "warm" the Observatory.The following pages will give an overview of the technology that makes possible the science of the Spitzer mission.

AROUND TWO SUNS THRIVE NASA TELESCOPE TO FIND PLANETS


Using the Spitzer Space Telescope NASA astronomers have observed that planetary systems - dusty disks of asteroids, comets and possibly planets - are so abundant in double star systems as single stars in systems such as ours. Since more than half of all stars are twins, or binaries, the finding suggests that the universe is full of planets with two suns. Sunsets on some of those worlds would resemble that of Luke Skywalker's planet, Tatooine, where two fiery balls dip below the horizon one by one.

Cryogenic Telescope Assembly Spitzer


The Spitzer (CTA by its contraction in English) consists of four main parts: cryostat superfluity helium, a telescope Ritchey-Chretien lightweight 85cm, a set of outer shells, and housing chamber multiple instruments, which houses the science instruments. Everything is cool, is part of CTA. The CTA is mechanically mounted but thermally isolated from the spacecraft, using beams and supports, as well as protective shields against thermal radiation. The array of solar panels and shields the spacecraft, CTA blocked the sun and the other components of the spacecraft at all times, helping to keep the CTA as cold as possible.
