Trajectories of Galileo (blue) and Ulysses (black) from Earth (green) to Jupiter (red). Following the first dust instruments from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), Heidelberg (Germany) on the HEOS 2 [1] satellite [2] and the Helios spacecraft [3] a new dust instrument was developed by a Team of Scientists and Engineers of Eberhard Grün to detect cosmic dust in the outer ...
In the late 1970s, François Schweizer studied NGC 1316 extensively and found that the galaxy appeared to look like a small elliptical galaxy with some unusual dust lanes embedded within a much larger envelope of stars. The outer envelope contained many ripples, loops, and arcs.
Intergalactic dust can form intergalactic dust clouds, known since the 1960s to exist around some galaxies. [1] By the 1980s, at least four intergalactic dust clouds had been discovered within several megaparsecs of the Milky Way galaxy, [ 1 ] exemplified by the Okroy Cloud .
However, NGC 3414 (Arp 162) appears to be merely an unusual S0 galaxy with a very small disk relative to its bulge size. [4] NGC 4670 (Arp 163) is a blue compact dwarf galaxy with extremely strong star formation activity ; [ 31 ] it is clearly too small to be the merger remnant of two spiral galaxies like the other merger remnants in this ...
It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering. But that same ...
It’s illegal to sell or buy, but casu marzu, a maggot-infested sheep milk cheese is a revered delicacy on the Italian island of Sardinia. Locals hope their unusual dairy product can shed its ...
A painting bought at a garage sale in Minnesota is a previously unknown portrait by Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, according to a newly published expert analysis.. It was made by Van Gogh during ...
An interstellar cloud is generally an accumulation of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies. But differently, an interstellar cloud is a denser-than-average region of the interstellar medium , the matter and radiation that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.
