Jonge exoplaneet boert waterstof in zijn baan om zijn moederster

Een proces dat foto-evaporatie wordt genoemd is een mogelijke verklaring voor verschillende kenmerken binnen de demografie van exoplaneten. Atmosferische ontsnapping waargenomen in jonge exoplaneten ter grootte van Neptunus

Excuse me while I'm being giddy... but is carrying out MY observations right. this. second. (and for the next ~30 min)!!!! 🥹

P.S. I don't know what this image is all about, but my galaxy looks a lot more exciting than this indicates😆

P.P.S. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of my awesome GOALS collaborators, most of whom are HST veterans so I'm being disproportionally excited!

There are some folks out there doing *absolutely* incredible work on astronomy image visualizations, but it's worth noting -- you can make exciting images on your own using freely-available tools and data. This took five minutes in DS9, and I even have a 20 MB .gif showing the transition.

In short: go play with data! is for everyone!

"Astronomers are celebrating NASA's Hubble Space Telescope's 33rd launch anniversary with an ethereal photo of a nearby star-forming region, NGC 1333. The nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, and located approximately 960 light-years away.

Hubble's colorful view, showcased through its unique capability to obtain images from ultraviolet to near-infrared light, unveils an effervescent cauldron of glowing gasses and pitch-black dust stirred up and blown around by several hundred newly forming stars embedded within the dark cloud. Hubble just scratches the surface because most of the star birthing firestorm is hidden behind clouds of fine dust – essentially soot – that are thicker toward the bottom of the image. The blackness in the image is not empty space, but filled with obscuring dust."

Das hier hat mich ehrlich gesagt überrascht vor einem Monat: Ich beschäftige mich ja schon eine Weile mit durch , aber da geht es halt immer ums , oder vom Boden aus. Dass die von sogar Bilder des Weltraumteleskops verunstalten und künftige Instrumente gefährden, hatte ich ehrlich gesagt nicht auf dem Schirm:

: In 2002 Hubble’s newest instrument, the Advanced Camera for Surveys, began releasing images. One of the first was this galaxy pair known as The Mice, named because of the long tails of stars and gas emanating from each galaxy: bit.ly/3TSABJ7
