The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite passed directly over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Aug. 2, 2016,
just prior to the opening of the Summer Olympic Games. On the left is an image from MISR's nadir (downward-looking) camera; the width of the image is
235 miles (378 kilometers), and Rio de Janeiro is visible as the large gray area on the coast in the center. The black asterisk marks the location of
the Maracanã Stadium in downtown, where the opening ceremonies were held.

GMT - Are We Alone? A Discussion on Space Exploration*
SXSW PanelPicker
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/66179
"Are we alone?" While most conversation on the topic concerns conspiracy theories and little green men, one notion remains: science.
With new science instruments and researchers who continue to dream bigger, we are now closer than ever to discovering what lies beyond
our Universe. Patrick McCarthy, renowned Carnegie astronomer and director of the Giant Magellan Telescope Organization, Merecedes Lopez-
Morales, staff scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and their peers will discuss how scientists are using
cutting-edge technology to finally confirm if there is life on other planets and to understand the origins of the chemical elements
of the first stars and galaxies.

NEBULA: :)
Na svatého Persea - bolidy jen z videa... :D

Dnes ráno jsem koukal na modelaci oblačnosti nad ČR ze čt. na pá.
Zatím to vypadá, že v noci by se měla oblačnost roztrhnout, a mělo by být jasno
až do pát. rána. Ale uvidíme...:/

Chandra :: Photo Album :: IC 2497 :: August 10, 2016

Two cosmic structures show evidence for a remarkable change in behavior of a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy.
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, astronomers are piecing together clues from a cosmic
“blob” and a gas bubble that could be a new way to probe the past activity of a giant black hole and its effect on its host
galaxy.

Astronomers discover new substellar companion to the Pleiades member star
http://phys.org/news/2016-08-astronomers-substellar-companion-pleiades-member.html
An international team of astronomers has found a new substellar mass companion to one of the stars in the Pleiades open cluster.
The discovery could contribute to our understanding of stellar and substellar multiplicity as well as formation mechanisms in
this cluster. A study detailing the new findings was published Aug. 5 on the arXiv pre-print server.

Simulations suggest Venus may have once been able to support life
http://phys.org/news/2016-08-simulations-venus-life.html
A team of researchers with NASA, Uppsala University, Columbia University and the Planetary Science Institute has created several simulations
of conditions on Venus billions of years ago using Earth climate models and has found some instances that suggest the planet may at one time
have been capable of harboring life. In their paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, the team describes their simulations and the factors
they used in creating them.

Exploring the Birth of Binary Stars
http://aasnova.org/2016/08/10/exploring-the-birth-of-binary-stars/
More than half of all stars are thought to be in binary or multiple star systems.
But how do these systems form? The misaligned spins of some binary protostars might provide a clue.

A cluster of young, blue stars shines hot in new Milky Way photo
http://mashable.com/2016/08/10/star-cluster-telescope-photo/#icou8LjUYiqZ
A giant new photo reveals clouds of dust and gas stretching around a cluster of young blue stars about 4,600 light-years from Earth.
The cluster, known as Messier 18, is made up of stars that were all born from the same material at about the same time, around 30 million
years ago, according to an image description from the European Southern Observatory (ESO).
