Papist's razzle dazzle Stuff

An advanced telescope imaging system that started taking data in June 2012 is the first of its kind capable of spotting planets orbiting suns outside of our solar system. The collaborative set of high-tech instrumentation and software, called Project 1640, is now operating on the Hale telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, after more than six years of development.

The images are nearby star 1.5 times larger than the sun. The star is centered in both images, and its light has been mostly removed by an adaptive optics system and coronagraph

Astronomers have discovered a pair of neighboring planets with dissimilar densities orbiting very close to each other. The planets are too close to their star to be in the so-called "habitable zone," the region in a star system where liquid water might exist on the surface, but they have the closest orbits between two planets ever confirmed. The findings appeared in the journal Science.

This is an image of a Pinwheel Galaxy, or also known as M101. It combines data in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-rays from four of NASA's space-based telescopes.

Razzle dazzle LED desk lamp. Each of the 3 controls on the base of the lamp represents a certain color. You can choose between green, red and blue. Every color has a slider which means you can actually combines 3 shades from the 3 different colors available.

The formation of small worlds like Earth was once thought to occur mostly around stars rich in heavy elements such as iron and silicon. However, new ground-based observations, combined with data collected by NASA's Kepler space telescope, show small planets form around stars with a wide range of heavy element content and suggest they may be widespread in our galaxy.

razzle dazzle fact:


Two-digit interstate numbers are designed to let drivers know the general direction of the highway.
If the interstate is an odd number, it runs North-South.
If the interstate is an even number, it runs East-West.
