Nuclei at the far end of the cosmic-ray energy spectrum where supernovas accelerate protons at the true edge of the cosmic-ray spectrum: the points where protons, and then helium, carbon and iron max out.
The sprinkle of particles in the 200-EeV range or the Oh-My-God particle theory.

The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. Its name „milky“ is derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

Recién termine de Leer el libro “Con Ojos de gigantes “ redactado gracias a Luis Barrientos Parra, Licenciado en Física y magister en Astronomía y Sebastián López Morales, investigador y académico del Departamento de Astronomía de la Universidad De Chile. Licenciado en Física , master en física y un doctorado en astronomía en Hamburgo.
Es increíble lo maravilloso e interesante que es poder saber como nacen las galaxias , las supernovas (NA) , el equipamiento para desarrollar estas observaciones ( GMT, E-ELT, El AlMA) y que tan lejos estamos de cuerpos celestes , cometas …(años luz).. Este último tiempo me ha hecho reflexionar y pensar cuán hermoso es nuestro universo y planeta… Hay tanto por saber y descubrir ❤🌌🔭 #DrRobertWilliams #NA #AlMA #FONDAP #UC #Hubble #NASA #Astronomy #PoluciónLumínica #Prisma #CCD #XChandra #Tycho #VLT #PuroChileEsTuCieloAstronómico #chajnantor #Chile #Saturday #BookDay #AstronomyDay #Relax #Learning #Happy by bastian_andress

Dust of the Orion Nebula
✨✨✨✨
What surrounds a hotbed of star formation? In the case of the Orion Nebula — dust. The entire Orion field, located about 1600 light years away, is inundated with intricate and picturesque filaments of dust. Opaque to visible light, dust is created in the outer atmosphere of massive cool stars and expelled by a strong outer wind of particles. The Trapezium and other forming star clusters are embedded in the nebula. The intricate filaments of dust surrounding M42 and M43 appear brown in the featured image, while central glowing gas is highlighted in red. Over the next few million years much of Orion’s dust will be slowly destroyed by the very stars now being formed, or dispersed into the Galaxy.

Sometimes both heaven and Earth erupt. Colorful aurorae erupted unexpectedly earlier this month, with green aurora appearing near the horizon and brilliant bands of red aurora blooming high overhead. A bright Moon lit the foreground of this picturesque scene, while familiar stars could be seen far in the distance. With planning, the careful astrophotographer shot this image mosaic in the field of White Dome Geyser in Yellowstone National Park in the western USA. Sure enough, just after midnight, White Dome erupted — spraying a stream of water and vapor many meters into the air. Geyser water is heated to steam by scalding magma several kilometers below, and rises through rock cracks to the surface. About half of all known geysers occur in Yellowstone National Park. Although the geomagnetic storm that created these aurorae has since subsided, eruptions of White Dome Geyser continue about every 30 minutes.

Need a pair of binoculars lol.

Explanation: A new year’s treat for binoculars, as 2016 begins Comet Catalina (C/2013 US10) now sweeps through planet Earth’s predawn skies near bright Arcturus, alpha star of Bootes. But this telescopic mosaic from December 21 follows the pretty tails of the comet across a field of view as wide as 10 full moons. The smattering of distant galaxies and faint stars in the background are in the constellation Virgo. Trailing behind the comet’s orbit, Catalina’s dust tail fans out below and left in the frame. Its ion tail is angled toward the top right, away from the Sun and buffeted by the solar wind. On January 17, the outward bound visitor from the Oort Cloudwill make its closest approach to Earth, a mere 110 million kilometers away, seen near bright stars along the handle of the Big Dipper.
