Webb Reveals Sombrero Galaxy's Hidden Details

Handout photo dated November 25, 2024 shows NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged the Sombrero Galaxy with its MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), resolving the clumpy nature of the dust along the galaxy’s outer ring. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104) in stunning mid-infrared detail. This oblong galaxy, named for its resemblance to a wide-brimmed hat, reveals intricate clumps of dust along its outer ring, illuminated in shades of blue and white. Speckles of stars scatter its inner disk, while distant galaxies dot the black cosmic canvas in the background. The new image, taken with Webb's MIRI instrument, offers unprecedented insight into the galaxy’s structure and the faint traces of young star-forming regions. November 25, 2024.

(240227) -- BEIJING, Feb. 27, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This composite photo taken on April 21, 2023 shows the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) at an altitude of 4,410 meters on Mount Haizi in Daocheng County, southwest China's Sichuan Province. China's cosmic ray observatory has discovered a giant ultra-high-energy gamma-ray bubble structure, about ten million times larger than our solar system, in the Cygnus star-forming region, around 5,000 light years from Earth. Based on the observations made by China's LHAASO, scientists identified that star-forming region as one source of the cosmic rays in the Milky Way with an energy level higher than 10 peta-electron volts (quadrillion electron volts or PeV), about 1,000 times more than the record high achieved by any manmade accelerator on Earth.

Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. The Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture.

NASA X-ray Telescopes Reveal the 'Bones' of a Ghostly Cosmic Hand

Handout - New composite image showing pulsar wind nebula (referred to as MSH 15-52) resembling a human hand, combining Chandra telescope data (seen in orange (low-energy X-rays), green, and blue (higher-energy X-rays)), while the diffuse purple represents the IXPE X-ray telescope observations. Scientists say they have revealed the "bones" of a ghostly cosmic hand. Two of NASA’s X-ray space telescopes have combined their imaging powers to unveil the magnetic field “bones” of a remarkable hand-shaped structure in space. The space agency says that together these telescopes reveal the behaviour of a dead collapsed star that lives on through plumes of particles of energised matter and antimatter. In 2001, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory first observed the pulsar PSR B1509-58 and revealed that its pulsar wind nebula (referred to as MSH 15-52) resembles a human hand. The pulsar is located at the base of the “palm” of the nebula, while MSH 15-52 is located 16,000 light-years from Earth. Now, NASA’s newest X-ray tele

CHINA-YUNNAN-SPACE BREEDING-NEW FLOWER SPECIES (CN)

(231028) -- KUNMING, Oct. 28, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Tian Liantong (L) talks with his colleague at a roses plantation demonstration garden of a modern agricultural park in Anning City, southwest China's Yunnan Province on Oct. 20, 2023. In August of 2022, over 8,000 flower seeds arrived at Yunnan Jinke Flower Engineering Research Center Co., Ltd. after their spaceflight trip aboard Shenzhou manned spaceship. Space breeding refers to exposing seeds or strains to cosmic radiation and microgravity in space to mutate their genes, so as to create new species or varieties with greater performances like shorter growth periods, higher yield and better resistance to diseases. According to Tian Liantong, a technologist of Jinke Flower Engineering Research Center Co., Ltd., usually it takes five years to breed new flower species which consumers could buy on market, and some species even need ten years to go through the process from breeding to becoming commodity, as they have to pass various and harsh growth conditions
