The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, which is even more dramatic than fiction, captures the chaotic activity atop a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years tall, which is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being assaulted from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks. This turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7500 light-years away in the southern constellation of Carina. The image celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into an orbit around the Earth. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from super-hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionised gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of gas and dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its towering peaks. The denser parts of the pillar are resisting being eroded by radiation. Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions from the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the centre of the image. These jets, (known as HH 901 and HH 902, respectively, are signposts for new star birth and are launched by swirling gas and dust discs around the young stars, which allow material to slowly accrete onto the stellar surfaces. Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on 1-2 February 2010. The colours in this composite image correspond to the glow of oxygen (blue), hydrogen and nitrogen (green), and sulphur (red).2022-05-21T04:27:34+00:00monthlyhttps://jdvoyek.com/2017/03/27/the-science-of-eurovision-2017/https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/esc2017logo.pngesc2017logohttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/480px-messier_75_-hst11628_10_08723_43-lasinh_abr555b438log.png480px-Messier_75_-hst11628_10_08723_43-Lasinh_ABR555B438loghttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/455px-aerogelbrick.jpg455px-Aerogelbrickhttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/479px-aerogel_nasa.jpg479px-Aerogel_nasahttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/fibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva.jpgFibrodysplasia_ossificans_progressiva2022-05-21T04:10:54+00:00monthlyhttps://jdvoyek.com/2017/04/13/nasa-had-another-press-conference-still-not-aliens/https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/pia01295.jpgPIA01295https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/17-042_hubble2.jpg17-042_hubble2https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4014_img003014.jpg4014_IMG003014https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/pia07800_hires.jpgPIA07800_hireshttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/plume1.jpgplume2022-05-21T04:02:01+00:00monthlyhttps://jdvoyek.com/2017/09/24/astronomy-in-the-tolkien-verse/https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/map-of-complete-first-age-arda.gifMap of complete First Age Ardahttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/moonmare.pngmoonmarehttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/v_mosaic_rgb2.jpgv_mosaic_rgb2https://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/orionlabels.pngorionlabelshttps://jdvoyek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/bigdipperlabels.pngbigdipperlabelsThere are actually way more than seven stars in this asterism. Dubhe is a binary star system. Mizar is a quadruple system - two sets of binaries. Its faint companion Alcor (which you can see just to the upper left of the star in the image above) is also a binary - the six stars are all roughly the same distance from Earth, astronomically speaking, thus all born of the same stellar nebula. So that makes either 11 or 13 stars, depending on if you could Alcor or not.

On the bottom row, the same numbers are displayed for the bodies of our inner solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The TRAPPIST-1 planets orbit their star extremely closely, with periods ranging from 1.5 to only about 20 days. This is much shorter than the period of Mercury, which orbits our sun in about 88 days. The artist concepts show what the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system may look like, based on available data about their diameters, masses and distances from the host star. The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories. The system was named for the TRAPPIST telescope. The seven planets of TRAPPIST-1 are all Earth-sized and terrestrial, according to research published in 2017 in the journal Nature. TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf star in the constellation Aquarius, and its planets orbit very close to it. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at Caltech in Pasadena. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado.

SpitzerThis data plot shows infrared observations by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope of a system of seven planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1, an ultracool dwarf star. Over 21 days, Spitzer measured the drop in light as each planet passed in front of the star. Spitzer was able to identify a total of seven rocky worlds, including three in the habitable zone where liquid water might be found. This plot shows the change in light as each planet passes in front of its star. A diagram of the layouts of the orbits is shown on the right. The study established the planets' size, distance from their sun and, for some of them, their approximate mass and density. It also established that some, if not all, these planets are tidally locked, meaning one face of the planet permanently faces their sun. The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories.

In particular, the strikingly small orbits of these worlds make it likely that most, if not all of them, perpetually show the same face to their star, the way our moon always shows the same face to the Earth. This would result in an extreme range of temperatures from the day to night sides, allowing for situations not factored into the traditional habitable zone definition. The illustrations shown for the various planets depict a range of possible scenarios of what they could look like.
