Also known as M42 , the nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away. ... This detailed image of the Orion Nebula is the sharpest ever, constructed using data from the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys and the European Southern Observatory's La Silla 2.2 meter telescope. ...

Cosmic ray detection was performed in stacks with the same dither position. ... At each pixel CRREJ looks at the stack of frames and selects some initial pixel value, which can be the minimum or the median across the stack. ... For these suspect pixels, the thresholds are multiplied by a parameter PFAC which can be anything from zero, meaning that all suspects are automatically rejected, to one. ... The pixel values for pixels thrown out by a PFAC=0 choice, but not by PFAC=0.5 choice were compared. ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

... STScI-PRC00-10 "HUBBLE TAKES A CLOSE-UP VIEW OF A REFLECTION NEBULA IN ORION" Just weeks after NASA astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in December 1999, the Hubble Heritage Project snapped this picture of NGC 1999, a nebula in the constellation Orion. ... NGC 1999 is an example of a reflection nebula. ... The star is so young that it is still surrounded by a cloud of material left over from its formation, here seen as the NGC 1999 reflection nebula. ...

Within the Hubble Ultra Deep Field there are approximately 10,000 discrete objects. ... Most of these objects are very small and likely have masses in the range of 10 5 to 10 7 solar masses. Note the mass of the Milky Way galaxy is 10 12 solar masses. ... Finally, for you cosmologists/experts out there this ultra deep field is quite consistent with what was seen in the original Hubble Deep Field 5) don't necessarily have small angular diameters. ...

An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE HUBBLE DEEP FIELD . In December 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope, high above the Earth, focused on a tiny spot of dark sky for over 150 consecutive orbits. ... Here we see about a fourth of that "deep field" and it shows galaxies (and only galaxies) at many different distances. The farthest among these galaxies is estimated to be so far away, its light has taken over 10 billion years to reach us. ...

The Cosmic InfraRed Background (CIRB) is the radiation from stars in many faint galaxies. ... The near-infrared (wavelengths near 2-3 microns) and optical (wavelengths near 500 nm) part of this extragalactic background light is just starlight redshifted into the infrared. But some starlight is absorbed by dust and re-emitted in the far-infrared (wavelengths near 100 microns). ... The CMB is by far the largest of these radiation fields, with a total intensity of 996 nW/m 2 /sr. ... Part 2 | ...
