Stars more massive than the Sun blow themselves to pieces at the end of their life. Usually leaving behind either a black hole‚ neutron star or pulsar they also scatter heavy elements across their host galaxy. One such star went supernova nearly 11‚000 years ago creating the Vela Supernova Remnant. The resultant expanding cloud of debris covers almost 100 light years and would be twenty times the diameter of the full Moon. Astronomers have recently imaged the remnant with a 570 megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) creating a stunning 1.3 gigapixel image.  The Vela supernova remnant is visible in long exposure photographs in the constellation Vela. It is the result of a star more massive than the Sun reaching the end of its life. As the progenitor star evolved the fusion deep in its core ceased. The lack of fusion means the cessation of the outward pushing thermonuclear force‚ the star instantly implodes under the immense force of gravity. The inward rushing material rebounds leading to the supernova explosions we see. The shockwave from the event is still travelling through the surrounding gas cloud thousands of years later.  The image recently released is one of the largest images ever taken of the object with the DECam camera. The instrument‚ built by the Department of Energy‚ was mounted upon the 4 metre Victor M Blanco telescope in Chile. It reveals amazing levels of detail with red‚ yellow and blue tendrils of gas. The image was taken through three colour filters in a technique familiar to amateur astronomers. The filters capture specific wavelengths of light and are then stacked on top of each other during processing to reveal the stunning high resolution colour image.  The Dark Energy Camera mounted on CTIO’s Blanco 4-meter telescope.

Hahn/CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA Supernova explosions of this type take hundreds of thousands of years for the effects to dissipate however the core of the collapsed star does remain. As the star collapses‚ the core is compressed leaving an ultra dense sphere of neutrons‚ the result of protons and electrons having been forced together under extreme pressures. The Vela Pulsar is only a few kilometres across but contains as much mass as the Sun. The stellar remnant is rotating rapidly‚ sweeping out a powerful beam of radiation across the Galaxy at a speed of 11 times per second.   Previous images from other instruments highlight the incredible capabilities of DECam.  Coupled up to the 4 metre telescope in Chile‚ it operates like a conventional camera. Light enters the telescope and is redirected back up the tube by the large mirror. The light passes into DECam‚ through a 1 metre corrective lens and then arrives at its final destination‚ a grid of 62 charge-coupled devices. These little sensor generate current dependent on the amount of light that falls upon them. With an array of these sensors (570 million of them to be exact)‚ a high resolution image can be recreated!

Each year‚ the Hubble Space Telescope focuses on the giant planets in our Solar System when they’re near the closest point to Earth‚ which means they’ll be large and bright in the sky. Jupiter had its photos taken on January 5-6th‚ 2024‚ showing off both sides of the planet. Hubble was looking for storm activity and changes in Jupiter’s atmosphere. The images are part of OPAL‚ the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program. These yearly images provide a long-time baseline of observations of the outer planets‚ helping to understand their atmospheric dynamics and evolution as gas giants. Jupiter’s colorful clouds present an ever-changing medley of shapes and colors‚ as it is the stormiest place in the Solar System. Its atmosphere is tens of thousands of kilomters/miles deep‚ and this stormy atmosphere gives the planet its banded appearance. Here you can find cyclones‚ anticyclones‚ wind shear‚ and other large and fantastic storms. The largest and most famous storm on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. In the image on the left‚ you can see the Great Red Spot and a smaller spot to its lower right known as Red Spot Jr. The two spots pass each other every two years on average. In the right image‚ several smaller storms are rotating in alternating atmospheric bands. “The many large storms and small white clouds are a hallmark of a lot of activity going on in Jupiter’s atmosphere right now‚” said OPAL project lead Amy Simon of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt‚ Maryland. This 12-panel series of Hubble Space Telescope images‚ taken January 5-6‚ 2024‚ presents snapshots of a full rotation of the giant planet Jupiter. The Great Red Spot can be used to measure the planet’s real rotation rate of nearly 10 hours. The innermost Galilean satellite‚ Io is seen in several frames‚ along with its shadow crossing over Jupiter’s cloud tops. Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer solar system planets every year under the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy program. Credit: NASA‚ ESA‚ Joseph DePasquale (STScI). NASA explains that the bands are produced by air flowing in different directions at various latitudes with speeds approaching 560 km/h (350 miles per hour). Lighter-hued areas where the atmosphere rises are called zones‚ while the darker regions where air falls are called belts. When these opposing flows interact‚ storms and turbulence appear. Hubble tracks these dynamic changes every year (see a few of our previous articles about Hubble’s view of Jupiter here‚ here and here.) There is always lots of activity and changes taking place from year to year. Toward the far-left edge of the right-side image is Jupiter’s tiny moon Io. The variegated orange color is where volcanic outflow deposits are seen on Io’s surface. Side-by-side images show the opposite faces of Jupiter. The largest storm‚ the Great Red Spot‚ is the most prominent feature in the left bottom third of this view. Credit: NASA‚ ESA‚ Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC).

Pope Francis has no plans to resign from office — though he says some in the Church wish he would.  The pontiff addresses the topic in “Life: My Story Through History‚” his forthcoming autobiography. Excerpts from the book‚ which explores in detail the most significant moments of the 87-year-old’s life up until the present day‚ were published March 14 by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.  In the book‚ Pope Francis says that despite the criticism and medical issues he...

Washington State appears to be competing with California for “looniest state government in America” honors. Governor Inslee is about to sign a blatantly unconstitutional anti-free speech bill that pays up to $2000 for accusing others of “bias‚” and the consequences of the Legislature’s anti-liberty/gun dementia are becoming apparent: Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed one of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws in 2023‚ and now highway shootings are surging in the state. Over 50...

ATLANTA (NewsNation) — A Georgia judge will decide Friday whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can remain on the prosecution team in the election interference case against President Donald Trump. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had previously set a self-imposed two-week deadline‚ which will expire Friday. He emphasized his mandate regarding the Willis hearings‚ stating in an interview with WSB-TV that his focus will solely be on the law‚ not politics. “The message I want to...

What’s next for ByteDance’s U.S. investors? As Beijing makes it increasingly clear that it opposes efforts by Congress to force TikTok’s Chinese parent company‚ ByteDance‚ to sell the popular video app — government officials in China said American lawmakers were acting like a “bandit” — the tech giant’s U.S. backers are increasingly finding themselves in a quandary. DealBook has spoken with people in the know about what these investors‚ including financial giants like the Susquehanna...

Former President Trump and President Joe Biden are deadlocked in a tight race as the 2024 election nears the corner as the two candidates secured their parties' nominations With only eight months until Americans cast their vote‚ Trump holds just a slim advantage over Biden in Pennsylvania by just three points.  According to a Fox News Poll‚ Trump has 49 percent of the vote in the Keystone state while Biden sits at 46 percent— suggesting that this year’s election will see a repeat of...
