A wonderful, retro-style advert in an art-nouveau tradition. Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that double-sunsets are anything but science fiction.

tagged with: friendships, good friends, my close friends, inspirational, spiral glaxies, young blue stars, galactic arms, galaxies, star astronomy, hrbstslr spgxy1232, star forming regions, breathtaking astronomy images, european southern observatory, eso, vista
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: A fantastic greetings card showing a stunning, mind-blowing image that reveals a little of the wonder that is our universe.
This spectacular image of the large spiral galaxy NGC 1232 was obtained on September 21, 1998, during a period of good observing conditions. It is based on three exposures in ultra-violet, blue and red light, respectively. The colours of the different regions are well visible : the central areas contain older stars of reddish colour, while the spiral arms are populated by young, blue stars and many star-forming regions. Note the distorted companion galaxy on the left side, shaped like the greek letter "theta".

The Cats Eye Nebula Postcard
tagged with: nebulae, amazing astronomy images, hubble chandra images, cats eye nebula, dying star, red giant evolution, hrbstslr tcenebnch, outer space, cosmological stellar evolution, galaxy stars, nasa
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: A gorgeous design featuring a composite image of the Cat's Eye nebula from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.
This famous nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution after a star like our Sun runs out of fuel. In this phase, a star becomes an expanding red giant and sheds some of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that collapses to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful filamentary structures.
