NASA Photographs a Impressive And Good-looking “Nebula”
NGC 2818 is a beautiful planetary cloud, gaseous mantle of a dying sun-like star. In three nebulae, was able to identify the sources of energetic radiation and eludicate their unusual properties some of the hottest and most massive stars seen, some of them are double. Quite a few of the most beautiful objects in the Universe are still shrouded in mystery. Two images of the Carina Nebula, where new stars are forming.The NASA Hubble Space Telescope captured sharpest view yet of the most famous of all planetary nebulae Ring Nebula.
The Arecibo Observatory of the SETI Project
The Arecibo Observatory is a radio telescope located close to the city of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell University under cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. The observatory's 305 m (1,001 ft) radio telescope is the largest single-aperture telescope ever constructed.
The telescope is visually distinctive and its’ massive reflector has attracted film makers for years. The Arecibo Observatory has been used in the filming of notable motion picture and television productions, such as the James Bond movie GoldenEye, Contact, the The X-Files and others. The telescope received additional international recognition in 1999 when it began to collect data for the SETI@home project.
The telescope has a spherical reflector which is fixed in place, and the receiver is repositioned to intercept signals reflected from different directions by the spherical dish surface. The receiver is located on a 900-ton platform which is suspended 150 m (500 ft) in the air above the dish by 18 cables running from three reinforced concrete towers. The platform has a 93 m long rotating bow-shaped track called the azimuth arm on which receiving antennas, secondary and tertiary reflectors are mounted. This allows the telescope to observe any region of the sky within a forty degree cone of visibility about the local zenith.

Two Moons Phenomena | Moon and Mars 2010
This night on 27 august 2010, we will see an amazing space phenomena
where we can see moon and mars together, it will looks like a double
moon, or two moons together, on that time planet mars will be on the
nearest distance to earth. This
event will happen again on 2287. So don't forget to see this moon and
mars together on 27 august 2010 this night. A rumors said that this
night moon and mars will have a similar size if we look from the land.
“two moons of 2010”
in the sky, and it is not very far. On August 27, while Mars will grow
to the size of the full moon, the people of this land you can see this
amazing scene. It had been said that the Planet of Mars will be very
close to the Earth where the distance between these two planets
will be estimated to in the radius of thirty five million miles only.
Mars will just look as large as the moon in the sky and it will be
thought that two moons will be seen at one time at the Planet Earth even
though the truth will be different from the actual situation. According
to the NASA officials this was going to happen yesterday at 12.30 pm at
the time of mid night. According to the calculations of the NASA
officials this scene will be created after a long period of time in the year 2287 hopefully.
The
Moon and Mars August 2010 controversy has confused the people a lot as
this rumor was considered a half truth as the NASA officials are good at
studying the movement of the planet
The encounter will culminate
on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It
will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide
at a modest 75-power magnification.
Amazing pictures-Solar eclipse in Asia and Africa
As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year; no more than two can be total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path traced by the Moon’s umbra.Many people will travel to remote locations to observe a central solar eclipse . The solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, in Europe helped to increase public awareness of the phenomenon, which apparently led an unusually large number of journeys made specifically to witness the total solar eclipse of October 3, 2005, and of March 29, 2006.The last total eclipse was the solar eclipse of July 11, 2010. The recent solar eclipse of January 15, 2010, was an annular eclipse, the next annular eclipse will occur on solar eclipse of May 20, 2012.A total solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon.
