A Blue Moon expected On New Year's Eve

Via: gizmodo.com



Blue Moon is the term applied to the second full Moon in a calendar month. It's an event that occurs roughly every two and a half years. This Thursday's blue Moon is far rarer than that though, because it's happening right on New Years Eve--a coincidence that happens only about once in every twenty years.

Picture of the Day: from the good people at Nasa

Via: nasa.gov

This photo shows the power of image post-processing. It also shows that we are a tiny speck of nothingness in the middle of a very fiery cosmic fluff. Enjoy the famous M-51 galaxy, like you have never seen it before.



Click on the image to see it in high definition.

Scientists have digitally reprocessed data from the Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to get this new view of the NGC 5194—the 51st object in Charles Messier's catalog—which is considered "the original spiral nebula." According to NASA, "the processing has further sharpened details and enhanced color and contrast in otherwise faint areas, bringing out dust lanes and extended streams that cross the small companion, along with features in the surroundings and core of M51 itself." The results are amazing, and the battle between 60,000-light-year-wide NGC 5194 and its companion NGC 5195 have never been so crisp and beautiful before.

Animation by Jeroen Krielaars: explains the Space-Time Continuum, "The chronoverse"

This is an animation that tells the story of ‘The Chronoverse’, a new perception of time. During ancient history, the earth was presumed to be flat. Later, astrologists discovered the spherical shape of the planet.



This radical new concept required such a new way of thinking, that it was incomprehensible for the majority of the human population. A same degree of perceptual shift occurred during the discovery of the chronoverse. Until now, mankind knew only one past, one present and one future. Past, which consists of nothing more than a log of occurred events stored in the human brain, called memories. Present, a constant flowing point in time, separating past from future. And future, a mere collection of expectations and assumptions. All three sorted along one horizontal axis. During research on the behavior of colliding particles, scientist stumbled upon the existence of multiple points in time, occupying the same physical space.

This led to an entirely new concept of time, called the chronoverse.
Events could no longer be indexed along a single axis. To index events in this new time-concept, a Y and a Z axis were added to convert the traditional timeline into a 3 dimensional timegrid. Common ways of displaying time became obsolete. From that year on, time would be indicated with a coordinate, pinpointing an event along the three axes in the grid.

CCD200 detector is the world's fastest and most sensitive astronomical camera

Via: techradar.com



Developed by British scientists for the VLT (very large telescope), the CCD200 detector is the world's fastest and most sensitive astronomical camera—capable of shooting an astonishing 1500 images per second.

"This breakthrough camera is without an equivalent anywhere in the world," says Norbert Hubin, head of the Adaptive Optics for ESO space agency. "The camera will enable great leaps forward in many areas of the study of the universe." - The images are said to be only 240 x 240, but the images from the ground could be as crisp as those taken from space.
