... 2000 February 3 . Colorful Clouds Of Carina . ... Striking and detailed, this close-up of a portion of the famous nebula is a combination of exposures through six different filters taken with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 in April of 1999. ... Exposures made with different narrow filters, as in this case , are translated to a visible color where shorter wavelengths are assigned bluer and longer wavelengths assigned redder colors. ...

A preliminary inspection indicates that NGC 1316 is an enormous elliptical galaxy that started devouring a smaller spiral galaxy neighbor about 100 million years ago. ... Most elliptical galaxies have more and brighter globular clusters than evident in NGC 1316 . ... One hypothesis therefore holds that these globulars survive from an even earlier galaxy that was subsumed into NGC 1316. ... About APOD > . ...

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Mad Science . ... Are colored dwarfs actually colored or are they different kinds of stars? ... Therefore a white dwarf is very bright, and a brown dwarf is very dark. ... Brown dwarfs are a newly discovered type of object, which are midway between stars and planets. ... Several brown dwarfs have been recently discovered orbiting normal stars; you can find more about them at one of my favorite web sites, The Nine Planets , on the page called "Other Solar Systems?" ...

Astronomers usually measure the flux of an object by collecting light with a telescope, sending it through a known filter, and then determining the power. ... But astronomers usually give their photometric results in terms of magnitudes. ... Astronomers define an absolute magnitude that is independent of the distance of a star and only depends on the intrinsic properties of the object: the absolute magnitude is the magnitude the star would have if it were 10 parsecs away from the Earth. ...

... 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. ...

This is the homepage of Andrew Fruchter, an astronomer on the staff of the Space Telescope Science Institute . ... Here you can look at an HST images of the optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts and their host galaxies. ... Therefore, substantial information on the fine scale structure of objects can be obtained by offsetting the pointing of the telescope between exposures and then combining these "dithered" exposures into a single image. ...
