... 2001 April 17 . Colorful Water Clouds Over Mars . Credit: Viking Project , USGS , JPL , NASA . Explanation: One place where water can be found on Mars is in clouds . In the above picture colorful water clouds are visible just after sunrise in and around a maze of canyons known as Noctis Labyrinthus (the labyrinth of the night). Scientists don't yet know, however, why these clouds formed , and why some stick to the canyons . ... About APOD | ... NASA Technical Rep.: ...

... As an experiment, I made some three-color images of Messier 42, more commonly known as the Great Nebula of Orion. ... green enhanced . ... halfsize or fullsize . ... Each image is a ``true color'' composite of three monochromatic images, in which the red, green, and blue intensities each correspond to the intensity of one of the original images. ... The HST image is assembled from different filters than mine: red is Nitrogen [II] at 6583 , green is H-alpha at 6563 , and blue is O [III] at 5007 . ...

We present ~1000 new candidate Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud selected from Spitzer Space Telescope data, as part of the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) Legacy program. ... The candidate YSOs were selected from the SAGE Point Source Catalog from regions of color-magnitude space least confused with other IR-bright populations. ... They are more clustered than generic point sources, as expected if star formation occurs in filamentary clouds or shells. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Have you ever looked at pictures of Saturn's rings and noticed what look like gaps in the rings? ... Gian Domenico Cassini discovered a large gap in Saturn's rings in 1675. Later, an astronomer named Encke discovered a smaller gap near the edge of the rings. ... It was found long ago that an orbit in the Cassini Division, as the large gap is named, has a period almost exactly one-half that of one of Saturn's moons named Mimas. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... 14 HUBBLE FINDS MANY BRIGHT CLOUDS ON URANUS A recent Hubble Space Telescope view reveals Uranus surrounded by its four major rings and by 10 of its 17 known satellites. This false-color image was generated by Erich Karkoschka using data taken on August 8, 1998, with Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer. ... Team member Mark Marley (New Mexico State University) reports that green and blue regions show where the atmosphere is clear and sunlight can penetrate deep into Uranus. ...

Next: Rapidly Rotating Stars Up: Discussion Previous: Relations . ... They attributed this to a mechanism which regulated stellar angular momentum through the accretion disk. ... While some of this may be due to sampling effects, the data seem to indicate that after a star loses its disk, either it continues its slow rotation for a period of time and then a rapid increase in rotation rate commences or spin up does not necessarily follow the loss of the disk. ...

Radio galaxy RC J0311+0507, a unique object of the early Universe . ... The estimation of the stellar population age in the host galaxy via the multicolor photometry (BTA) and new infrared data (UKIRT, 2011), amounting to 0.8 Gyr results in the moment of its formation when the universe was about 0.5 milliard years old (z~10). ...
