Hubble Images a Swarm of Ancient Stars

This stellar swarm is M80 (NGC 6093), one of the densest of the 147 known globular star clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. Located about 28,000 light-years from Earth, M80 contains hundreds of thousands of stars, all held together by their mutual gravitational attraction. Globular clusters are particularly useful for studying stellar evolution, since all of the stars in the cluster have the same age (about 15 billion years), but cover a range of stellar masses. Every star visible in this image is either more highly evolved than, or in a few rare cases more massive than, our own Sun. Especially obvious are the bright red giants, which are stars similar to the Sun in mass that are nearing the ends of their lives. By analyzing the Wide..

Just got home and saw a photo on CTV about the hurricane on Saturn - pretty cool stuff. Great photos.

You have the cassini solstice webpage bookmarked in your web browser also, goober?

The eye of that hurricane is 12 times bigger than Britain. It's 1,250 miles across.

After reading this, I have it bookmarked Johnny............thanks for mentioning it. Great site.

Yep.

The eye of that hurricane is 12 times bigger than Britain. It's 1,250 miles across.

You can fit at least 2 earths, side by side inside the hurricane.

Recently, a Cassini mission press release announced that Saturn’s aurora were consistent with electrical activity: “…we can see the simultaneous motion of the electric current systems connecting the magnetosphere to the atmosphere, producing the aurora.”
It bears repeating that these remarks about a distant world were foreknown long ago:
“The knowledge gained since 1896, in radioactivity has favoured the view to which I gave expression in that year, namely, that magnetic disturbances on the earth, and aurora borealis, are due to corpuscular rays emitted by the Sun.”
— Kristian Birkeland “The Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition 1902-1903, Volume 1, Part 1″
Birkeland’s terrella experiments also created miniature versions of what Cassini sees on Saturn.

i also have the messenger and curiousity webpages bookmarked.... Im thinking of getting the mercury download for google earth also...

The stuff is interesting, what else can i say...

Whose the secret admirer giving you all those reds goober?
