Events: Inventory of the best space according to National Geographic 2010: Hubble photographed the mysteriou
| Event Details:
According to National Geographic magazine website reported yesterday, the National Geographic Web site published in 2010 _select_ed the best space images, including rainbow month, mysterious mountains, aurora, sunspots and Bangkok annular space food, including wonderful images have standings known.

Photo taken in January, Bangkok, Thailand presents a solar eclipse occurs over the scene, an aircraft against the background of the solar eclipse show a clear outline.萨克什恩布 Ense Wendui Tai National newspaper "Phuket Gazette", said in Bangkok over the annular eclipse of the sun covered 57-80% of the region, covering the provinces to see the size of the region there are different due to their location differences. This picture is the United States, "National Geographic News" Web site named editor in 2010 one of the best space images, originally published under the heading "eclipse Photo: Ring of Fire shine Asia and Africa," the article.

This is a Hubble Space Telescope photos, dust and gas composition of colorful and rugged steep cylindrical structure, is vividly described as "mysterious mountain." To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hubble's launch, NASA announced on April 23 this picture. This picture is the Carina Nebula shows star birth internal changes that have occurred. Nebula in the hot, young stars emit radiation and charged particles continuously from the impact of the universe within the cloud, it carved into a variety of shapes. Like this area a very high density of material, enough to resist the erosion of stars. The photo was originally published under the heading "This week the best space pictures: a mysterious Mars Hill and Ice" article.

In January, Hawaii Haleakala volcano smoke around the rainbow appears in a month, like Mars, like a bright star shining in the month on the rainbow. The photo was originally published under the heading "This week the best space pictures: Shuttle launch and on Rainbow," the article. Shooting, Mars is about the most intimate contact with Earth, the distance between the two will reach the lowest point. Rainbow is on the moon through the smoke in the formation of small droplets.
4. Sunspot

Site by the New Jersey Institute of Technology sunspots pictures of the new solar telescope, announced in August. Astronomers say it could be taken so far in the visible light conditions, details of the most abundant sunspots pictures. New Jersey Institute of Technology Solar Telescope located in mountains of San Bernardino, California, Big Bear Lake Solar Observatory, diameter of 5.25 feet (1.6 meters) in 2009 and put into use. Experts say the telescope using a special deformable mirrors - the so-called adaptive optics system components - the ability to off_set_ the distortions caused by atmospheric effects, and thus can be taken out of the ground resolution comparable with the telescope in orbit photos.
5. "Hayabusa" to return to Earth

This picture presents Japan's "Hayabusa" space probe on June 13 when the scene re-entry, people can not help but think of the splendid fireworks. Among the hidden spark a 16-inch (40 cm) of insulation compartment. The researchers then found that, portable insulated holds valuable asteroid debris that can help us understand how the Earth and solar system formation.
"Hayabusa" is a small number of rock samples brought back to Earth to space one of the spacecraft. Other similar tasks, including "Apollo" program and the task of collecting comet dust, "Stardust", the former in the late 1960s and early 1970s was brought back moon rock samples, the latter in 2006 to 28,900 miles per hour (about every hours 46,400 km) speed crashed into the Utah desert. This picture was originally published in the caption as "the Week in space pictures: Hayabusa fireball and the whirlpool" in the article.

In August 2006 the site of satellite photos taken in South Australia's Ariel Lake seems to form a grimace. November 2010 new picture series "Earth Art 3" released a total of 40 pictures, Ariel is one of the lake. "Earth Art 3" pictures from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat, _select_ed series of images that are very strong sense of artistry.
U.S. Geological Survey said, when the seasonal rainfall more abundant when Ariel Lake has become Australia's largest lake. But in the arid land, it is also a "short-lived," the landscape. Geological Survey that in the past 150 years, Lake Ariel only be filled three times. Geological Survey of the "climate and land use change," deputy project director, said in a statement: "The pictures are used in the original photo is authentic, is the most realistic rendering of these brilliant and vivid portrait of the Earth we can encourage everyone learn more about our complex world. "
7. Close contact Lutetia

This picture by the European Space Agency's "Ro_set_ta" spacecraft shot, showing the crater of the asteroid covered with 21 Lutetia. "Ro_set_ta" was close contact with Lutetia presents to us a wounded world. Astronomers say Lutetia may be left after the birth of the solar system remains under the debris. To take this picture, "Ro_set_ta" spacecraft from the surface of about 1965 from Lutetia miles (3162 km) over the passing.
This is to show the space rock of the highest resolution photos. Lutetia and the distance between the Earth more than 270 million miles (about 440 million kilometers), located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. NASA space scientists said Claudia Alexander, this piece of high-resolution photos can be used as a proof that 81 miles (about 130 km) wide Lutetia was once a much larger part of the asteroid, after the "parent star" separation. Alexander is the "Ro_set_ta" was the head of the United States mission.
8. Aurora

An aurora was placed in the Indian Ocean. Even for astronomers, the site in May photographs are extremely rare. Aurora in the bombardment of charged particles from the sun when Earth's upper atmosphere, charged particles bombarding lead atoms and nitrogen atoms of oxygen to obtain energy and light. Typically, only to see the polar aurora near the polar regions of the magnetic field lines guide charged particles fly to the earth. This time the aurora - the International Space Station shot - appears to occur during geomagnetic storms, geomagnetic storms temporarily change the Earth's magnetic field, causing the aurora closer to the equator. This picture was originally published in the caption as "the Week in space pictures: weird aurora and solar flare," the article.
9 Gulf of Mexico oil spill spread

Satellite photos taken in April, a small plane on a crude oil belt of rust-colored side flying. Shooting from deep-sea drilling platform explosion and sinking into the horizon just past the Gulf of Mexico about a week, this time on the sea of the Gulf of Mexico crude oil have been clearly visible. The rapid spread of oil spills enhanced by the controlled combustion of the oil spill containment difficult. This picture was originally published in the heading of "Gulf of Mexico oil according to: navigation camera reveals the scale of oil spills," the article.
10 star's death

According to the site in August to draw pictures to show the explosion of stars, the remnants of supernova SN 1987A is not as hourglass shape is very symmetrical, as scientists expected. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile to obtain the residual data, astronomers confirmed that, when massive stars explode, the eruption of the material fired at the speed of space differences, some of the debris faster than other debris, consistent with computer model predictions . This picture was originally published in the caption as "the Week in space picture: the moon and the sun wake eruption" in the article. |
