... 2008 September 16 . W5: Pillars of Star Creation . ... JPL-Caltech , NASA . ... A likely reason for this is that the older stars in the center are actually triggering the formation of the younger edge stars. The triggered star formation occurs when hot outflowing gas compresses cooler gas into knots dense enough to gravitationally contract into stars. ... W5 is also known as IC 1848 , and together with IC 1805 form a complex region of star formation popularly dubbed the Heart and Soul Nebulas. ...

... Although they all formed from similar material, it is a mystery why the planets closest to the Sun Mercury, Venus and Earth are so different. Astronomers hope to learn more about how they were created by studying asteroids, which are pieces of rock that were surplus to requirements in planet building. A team of astronomers has been observing an asteroid called Lutetia that is 100 kilometres wide. ... Meteorites are much smaller than asteroids and range in size from marbles to basketballs.) ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... A tidbit of news on the brown dwarf front came in this week. Regular readers may remember that brown dwarfs are objects that are intermediate in mass between a planet and a star . ... So this is even better evidence that brown dwarfs form like stars and not planets. Brown dwarfs may not turn out to be the 'missing link' between planets and stars the way some astronomers thought a few years ago, but they are providing clues on just how stars and planets do form. ...

In 1755, Immanuel Kant had the remarkable insight that stars and planetary systems form by the gravitational collapse and rotational flattening of interstellar clouds. Later in the 18th century, Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace refined Kant s idea by suggesting that planets condensed from rings produced at the edge of a contracting disk while the Sun formed at the center a picture thereafter known as the Nebular Hypothesis. ...

. This new infrared view of the star forming region the Lagoon Nebula (M8) was captured by the VISTA telescope at ESOтАЩs Paranal Observatory in Chile. This color picture was created from images taken through J, H, and Ks near-infrared filters, which were acquired as part of a huge survey of the central parts of the Milky Way. The field of view is about 34 by 15 arcminutes. ESO/VVV

. To remove a directory that is a symbolic link that points to another directory use the command: rm directory_name . Notice that the directory does not need to be empty and you do not have to use the rmdir command. You are not really removing a directory, just a named symbolic link that points to the "real" directory.

Next: Binary Radiopulsars with Black Up: Black Holes in Binaries Previous: Black Holes in Binaries . Two different types of stellar BH formation exist: (1) direct core collapse   of a massive star and (2) AIC of a NS. A BH of the first type presumably will have a mass comparable to that of the collapsing star and can be born both from a single star and in a binary system. ...
