The acrylic on canvas painting Warhol Naked, one of the 100 Cosmic X paintings created between 1999 and 2019, has been offered for sale at $300 million. Armstrong has commented "This painting captures the true 'spirit' of Andy, with its deep red color and bold signature in white. Warhol is an image Andy spent his life creating.
The Cosmic Horseshoe is the nickname given to a gravitationally lensed system of two galaxies in the constellation Leo. The foreground galaxy lies directly in front in the line of sight to a more distant galaxy.
Cosmic View: The Universe in 40 Jumps is a 1957 book by Dutch educator Kees Boeke that combines writing and graphics to explore many levels of size and structure, from the astronomically vast to the atomically tiny. The book begins with a photograph of a Dutch girl sitting outside a school and holding a cat.
Little red dots (LRDs) are a class of small, red-tinted galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope. [1] [2] [3] Their discovery was published in March 2024, and they are currently poorly understood. [4] They appear to have existed between 0.6 and 1.6 billion years after the Big Bang, from 13.2 to 12.2 billion years ago. [1] LRDs were ...
The researchers had observers view a neutron beam, composed of either 3 or 14 MeV monoenergetic neutrons, in several orientations, relative to their heads. The composition of these beams ensured that particles generated in the eye were below 500 MeV, which was considered the Cherenkov threshold, thereby allowing the researchers to separate one ...
Future cosmic ray observatories, such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array, will use advanced techniques to detect gamma rays produced by cosmic ray interactions in Earth's atmosphere. Since these gamma rays will be the most sensitive means to study cosmic rays near their source, these observatories will enable astronomers to study cosmic rays with ...
Cosmic Eye, although developed in 2012 for local teaching and outreach purposes, in April 2016 it suddenly attracted 40 million views in just ten days on the Facebook group page of "The Science Scoop". [3] The video has since been viewed more than 200 million times on Facebook and was featured in major media, such as BBC World News. [4]
The first cosmic (beyond the Solar System) X-ray source was discovered by a sounding rocket in 1962. Called Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) (the first X-ray source found in the constellation Scorpius ), the X-ray emission of Scorpius X-1 is 10,000 times greater than its visual emission, whereas that of the Sun is about a million times less.
