Exploring Hubble in Orbit: two decades and counting
Posted by: | Comments
www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk http LJMU’s ‘Public Lectures in Astronomy’ series saw its inaugural lecture, delivered by Dr Robert Fosbury of the European Space Agency, bring the Hubble Space Telescope to life with images and videos previously unseen by the public. The lecture presented the story of Hubble, looking back on the revolution in astrophysics that it has achieved and forward to what it is achieving now in its probings of the early history of the universe to the study of the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. Renowned for its beautiful images, the Hubble Space Telescope has been a great success for NASA despite a defective mirror that nearly ended the mission when the problem was detected after launch in 1990. Hubble is used to create images from the Universe’s visible light, free from the distortion caused by the Earth’s atmosphere. It also has instruments that detect invisible infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Hubble is one of NASA’s four Great Observatories, the others being the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. It is now some hundred times more powerful than when it was launched in 1990. LJMU runs ‘Astronomy By Distance Learning’, a selection of life-long learning courses that can be taken by students who do not have any specialist scientific or mathematical background. These are multimedia courses taught using a variety of media such as interactive CD-ROM material, videos, DVDs, websites, online astronomy …
Hubble- Andromeda Galaxy’s Double Nucleus
Posted by: | Comments
This zoom dives deep into the nucleus of the neighboring spiral galaxy M31, also known as the Andromeda galaxy. The sequence begins with a backyard constellation view and ends with the new Hubble Space Telescope image that centers on the 100-million-solar-mass black hole at the core of the galaxy and the young blue stars surrounding the black hole. This is the sharpest visible-light image ever made of the nucleus of an external galaxy. Astronomers are trying to understand how apparently young stars were formed so deep inside the black hole’s gravitational grip and how they survive in an extreme environment.

Andromeda Galaxy Hubble Video
Posted by: | Comments
This video shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images of four regions in the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. Hubble’s position above the distorting effect of the atmosphere, combined with the galaxy’s relative proximity, means that the galaxy can be resolved into individual stars, rather than the cloudy white wisps usually seen in observations of galaxies. These observations were made in order to observe a wide variety of stars in Andromeda, ranging from faint main sequence stars like our own Sun, to the much brighter RR Lyrae stars, which are a type of variable star. With these measurements, astronomers can determine the chemistry and ages of the stars in each part of the Andromeda Galaxy. Credit: NASA, ESA and TM Brown (STScI).

Hubble IMAX 3D Trailer
Posted by: | Comments
The Science Museum in London presents Hubble 3D on IMAX, showing now. www.sciencemuseum.org.uk Through the power of IMAX 3D, the film will enable movie-goers to journey through distant galaxies to explore the grandeur and mysteries of our celestial surroundings, and accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult and important tasks in NASA’s history. The film will offer an inspiring and unique look into the Hubble Space Telescope’s legacy and highlight its profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves. The IMAX 3D camera flew onboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis last May and captured stunning 3D images of the intricate spacewalks required to service the telescope. The footage, shot by the STS-125 astronauts, will be included in the film and will put IMAX audiences right there alongside the spacewalking astronauts. The film will also feature never-before-seen 3D flights through awe-inspiring Hubble imagery, providing a first-person journey to the far reaches of our universe. Hubble 3D is an IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production, in cooperation with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The film reunites the Space Station 3D filmmaking team, led by producer/director Toni Myers. James Neihouse, director of photography, also doubles as the astronaut crew trainer. Judy Carroll is associate producer, and Graeme Ferguson, co-founder of IMAX and pioneer producer of many IMAX space films, is executive producer.

Hubble Burning Questions
Posted by: | Comments
From HubbleCast and the incomparable Dr. J. The episode features answers to questions submitted by the public. What is the most empty spot of space you have ever seen? What’s the longest single-shot exposure ever recorded of any object or area of space by Hubble? What are the farthest objects discovered by Hubble? Three questions, just one answer. In 2003, Hubble was pointed at a part of sky which is, by normal standards at least, pretty empty. In particular, there are no bright stars in this area. Now Hubble observed this field, which is only about a tenth the size of the full moon, for almost a million seconds. That’s around 11.3 days’ worth of total exposure time. The result is an image we call the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and it is in fact the deepest optical image of the Universe that humanity has ever produced. This is galaxy UDFj-39546284. Boring name, I know, but the point is that this is probably the most distant object ever discovered. Now its distance isn’t 100% confirmed yet, but it’s believed to be so far away that the light took 13.2 billion years to reach us. That’s about 96% of the age of the Universe. When galaxies collide and incorporate each other, what happens to the black holes? Do they eventually merge into one giant black hole? Yup, that’s pretty much what happens. As Hubble helped us discover in the 1990s, we think that almost all massive galaxies contain a central, supermassive black hole. In addition, galaxy collisions are very common: they …
