PanSTARRS z jineho uhlu:
Animation of comet 2011 L4 PanSTARRS entering STEREO-B’s HI camera,
note the twin ion/dust tail reminiscent of Hale-Bopp!


STEREO-B SEES COMET PAN-STARRS: On March 10th, Comet Pan-STARRS passed by the sun
just inside the orbit of Mercury. The close encounter brought it into the field of view of NASA's
STEREO-B spacecraft. The sun, Earth, and comet are labeled in this low-resolution beacon

The Sun in Hydrogen Alpha Light - The Full Solar Disk on 03-08-2013
Lunt Solar LS60Scope/LS50 F, B1200, Hydrogen Alpha Solar filter
DMK31 fire-wire camera, 1/408 sec exposure, 724 frames
I captured these Shots during my Lunch break...I was expecting to see a bit more Activity on the Sun
with Solar Maximum being only a month away, and yes, there are a few Sunspots & some prominences visible!
I've been hearing that this has been a weaker Solar Maximum. Despite this lower activity, The Sun is always
Beautiful to see in Hydrogen Alpha Light, and just Maybe it will surprise us with some crazy activity sometime soon!
I included the blue image to help you see the finer surface detail. North is up in both images!

The Boogie Man Nebula (Hubble/Heritage)
The Boogie Man Nebula (also known as Lynds’ Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622) is a dark molecular cloud of less than 10 light-years across that lies only 500
light-years away in the constellation of Orion, close on the sky to Barnard’s Loop and just north of Orion’s belt, near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
The Boogie Man Nebula appears against a faint background of glowing hydrogen gas. The interstellar dust of this dark nebula is so thick that it obscures
light from nearby stars or other nebulas. This nebula demonstrates the evolution of stars. Star formation results from the collapse of giant clouds of
molecular gas and dust. The stars eventually emerge into visibility with their blue light scattering and reflecting off dust particles present in the gas.

...a dalsi dobra zprava: slunecni boure neni tak silna, jak se predpokladalo,
takze Curiosity bude moct (po predchozich nemalych tech. problemech, kdy
byla obsluha nucena prepnout na "zalozni" kompjutr - no, on je to vlastne
rovnocenny CPU - B) brzy prepnout do "full working" rezimu...

tak je to oficialne potvrzeno: od 13.3. bude ALMA online!! :)

doufam, že náš to ještě pár milionů let nepotká znovu

x First Row, Left: Present day.
x First Row, Right: In 2 billion years the disk of the approaching Andromeda galaxy is noticeably larger.
x Second Row, Left: In 3.75 billion years Andromeda fills the field of view.
x Second Row, Right: In 3.85 billion years the sky is ablaze with new star formation.
x Third Row, Left: In 3.9 billion years, star formation continues.
x Third Row, Right: In 4 billion years Andromeda is tidally stretched and the Milky Way becomes warped.
x Fourth Row, Left: In 5.1 billion years the cores of the Milky Way and Andromeda appear as a pair of right lobes.
x Fourth Row, Right: In 7 billion years the merged galaxies form a huge elliptical galaxy, its bright core dominating the nighttime sky.
