I was wondering what conditions should be met to have the "darkest" sky .. ... Upon the above publication of the Southern Galactic hemisphere, TunГ Tezel started seeking opportunities to create the Northern counterpart image. ... So, the initial quest of having the darkest possible sky have delivered us these two all-sky images of the two galactic hemispheres as seen from Planet Earth. Zoomable and 'full-screenable' fisheye view of the "darkest sky" Southern Galactic Hemisphere image. ...

... 2002 January 29 . The Southern Sky in Warm Hydrogen . ... Explanation: A robotic telescope with red sunglasses in Chile has been photographing the entire southern sky for years. ... Although spectacular emission nebula s glow brightly in this type of red light ( H-alpha ), a diffuse amount of warm hydrogen is spread throughout our Galaxy and its glow nicely indicates not only where darker hydrogen and other gasses may be located, but also the sometimes- complex history of interstellar gas . ...

... Another option is to buy slides of astronomical objects at different wavelengths to show students why astronomers use different bands of the spectrum to bring out specific characteristics in celestial objects. ... He then uses the camera to scan the entire classroom, asking students to identify what they are seeing. ... Once students see light in action, they can investigate its properties - such as frequency, wavelength, and interference - with wave experiments. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided a never-before-seen view of a warped disk flooded with a torrent of ultraviolet light from hot gas trapped around a suspected massive black hole. ... This composite image of the core of the galaxy was constructed by combining a visible light image taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), with a separate image taken in ultraviolet light with the Faint Object Camera (FOC). ... The inset box shows Hubble Space Telescope's field of view. ...

... The event horizon is the boundary of a black hole) . ... When the supermassive star implodes (collapses under it?s own gravity) a black hole is formed. Many black holes have been found in the centres of galaxies. ... It was thought that black holes don?t give out any energy at all (except when engulfing stars). ... It is thought that as the stars pass near to the centre, they are pulled in by the black hole and forced to remain orbiting around the black hole. ...

... Bad Astronomy . Misconceptions . ... Bad Astronomy : "We're light years more advanced than our competition!" ... Even the closest astronomical object, the Moon, is 400,000 kilometers away! ... A beam of light will travel 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers in one year. This distance is defined as a light year ; the distance light travels in a year. ... This is another example of Bad Astronomy; like a light year, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time (to be specific, it equals 3.26 light years) . ...

... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

... HUBBLE UNCOVERS DUST DISK AROUND A MASSIVE BLACK HOLE . Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700 light-year-diameter dust disk encircles a 300 million solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. ... Because the jets in NGC 7052 are not perpendicular to the disk, it may indicate that the black hole and the dust disk in NGC 7052 do not have a common origin. ... NGC 7052 is located in the constellation of Vulpecula, 191 million light-years from Earth. ...

... Deep optical CCD image of the LMC. Diffuse Galactic Light is plainly visible in this optical image of the Large Magellanic Cloud as a haze over the entire galaxy. The phenomenon arises from starlight scattering off numerous dust clouds in and above the plane of the LMC's disk to form a faint, galaxy-wide reflection nebula. ... The CCD image above was presumably taken with a special wide-field camera at optical wavelengths. ...
