Hubble Seeks Clusters in Lost Galaxy

Handout Photo shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth’s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars. This image features NGC 4535’s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy’s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of these bright-blue star groupings. These clouds, called H II (‘H-two’) regions, are a sign that the galaxy is home to especially young, hot, and massive stars that blaze with high-energy radiation. Such massive stars shake up their surroundings by heating their birth clouds with powerful stellar winds, eventually exploding as supernovae. The image incorporat

people in Prague protest against police, racial violence, Black Lives Matter

About 300 people joined a meeting in protest against police and racial violence in the USA and elsewhere in the world in the centre of Prague, Czech Republic, on June 13, 2020, with the protesters including mainly young people and foreigners, like at a previous protest rally last week. After the opening speeches in the Klarov Square, the participants moved to the nearby seat of the U.S. embassy, in front of which they observed one minute of silence in homage to victims of racism. The protest was jointly staged by several groupings and movements in solidarity with followers of the Black Lives Matter movement that has emerged in the USA in reaction to the May death of Afro-American George Floyd after a white policeman's brutal intervention against him.
