... 2001 February 16 . Star Forming Region Hubble-X . ... Cataloged as Hubble-X , many skygazers find the appearance of this extragalactic star forming region reminiscent of the most famous stellar nursery in our own galaxy, the Orion Nebula . Hubble-X is intrinsically much brighter than Orion though, and at a distance of 1.6 million light-years it is about 1,000 times farther away. Hubble-X is also about 100 light-years across compared to 10 light-years for the Orion Nebula. ... About APOD | ...

... Bruce MacA Thomas 11 February 1999 Introduction In this discussion document, the antenna principles underpinning some of the concepts discussed in Ref 1 for the LF-SKA are extended to illustrate the potential difficulty of achieving constant collecting area, and hence the practical realisation of the "magic-carpet" concept. Applications to the "randomised" antenna-element approach to array-station design, and the trade-offs that need to be considered, are briefly discussed. ...

This is a color composite image made by Karen Gloria at Hopkins Observatory using a 6-inch refractor and a 512x512 element CCD detector. ... This is a planetary nebula (see also the Planetary Nebula page on this server). It is relatively small, measuring approximately 8x4 arcminutes. Overall, the surface brightness of the extended ionized gas emission is one of the highest for any PN and therefore this object is easily seen through even small telescopes (including most finders). ...
