A blue swirl River

Realize with the VLT (Very Large Telescope) of ESO, we see the galaxy NGC 1187. This impressive curved is about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus (The River). NGC 1187 has hosted two supernova detonations during the last thirty years, most recently in 2007
The galaxy NGC 1187 [1] is seen almost face on the new VLT image, which clearly shows the spiral structure. Can be around half dozen prominent spiral arms, each of contains large amounts of gas and dust.

NASA's Kepler fined out Multiple Planets Orbiting a Pair of Stars


Coming less than a year after the announcement of the first circumbinary planet, Kepler-16b, NASA's Kepler mission has exposed multiple transiting planets orbiting two suns for the first time. This system, Known as a circumbinary planetary system, is 4.900 light-years from Earth in the group Cygnus.

This exposure confirm that more than one planet can form and persist in the stressful dominion of a binary star and Demonstrates the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy.
