ASTRONOMY

Assuming that we've figured out how to ship all the materials to Mars and build stuff there - would it be a good idea to build telescopes on Mars? Can we actually do astronomy from the surface looking through Mars's atmosphere? This was a question I got asked by a subscriber on Twitter - if you have questions you want me to answer either tweet them to me (https://twitter.com/drbecky_) or leave them in the comments below.

Classical Cassegrain optical design excels for high-power lunar and planetary observation and imaging. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2tizHdl Our CC6 6" f/12 Classical Cassegrain Telescope excels for high-resolution lunar and planetary viewing and imaging, and will get you in close on tight objects such as globular clusters and planetary nebulas. In a telescope market currently saturated with short-focal-length, wide-field instruments, the CC6 stands apart by offering something for those wanting serious magnifying capability but in a compact form factor. With an optional 10mm eyepiece you're already probing at 183x magnification. There is no pesky chromatic aberration since there are no lenses as in a refractor. The Classical Cassegrain optical design utilizes a parabolic primary mirror and a hyperbolic secondary mirror, which for the CC6 allow a long, "folded" focal length of 1836mm to be tucked into a tube just 20.5" long (including focuser). That compact tube, which weighs just 12 lbs., means the CC6 is easily supported on a modest-size mount such as the Orion Sirius EQ-G, even when equipped for photography with an extension ring and optional finder scope and imaging camera. Both mirrors are made from quartz and can take a very fine polish. The enhanced aluminum coating delivers 96% reflectivity, and a protective quartz overcoat protects the finish. The 6" primary mirror is fixed in place so you won't get image shift or mirror flop like you do from a typical Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, whose mirrors slide forward and back when focusing. With the CC6, focusing is done with a precision 2" dual-speed (10:1) Crayford focuser machined from solid aluminum. Also unlike a Schmidt-Cassegrain or Maksutov, the CC6 has no glass on the front end to dew up. It's an open tube with eight baffle rings inside to control stray light and ensure maximum contrast. Sold as an optical tube assembly only, the Orion CC6 6" Classical Cassegrain Telescope comes with TWO dovetail finder scope bases, giving you the freedom to mount an optional Orion finder scope on either side of the focuser, or to mount a small guide scope and finder scope simultaneously. A V-style dovetail mounting bar affixed to the optical tube allows its attachment to any telescope mount equipped with a compatible saddle plate. Also included are three glare-threaded extension rings: one 50mm and two 25mm in length, to allow focus to be achieved with different eyepiece and diagonal combos or imaging cameras. Backfocus distance from the end of the 2" accessory collar is 157.2mm. This video provides an overview of our CC6 6" Classical Cassegrain Telescope. We offer several other cassegrain telescopes, many of which are described in these videos: Overview of the Orion 180mm Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQICj5_6Fjk Overview of Orion 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope Optical Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4LFN-9C-cI Overview of the Orion StarSeeker IV 127mm GoTo MakCass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdjr8xSHGRc Features of the Orion Starseeker IV 150mm GoTo Mak Cass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpnOEzq8qUs Overview of the Orion StarSeeker IV 102mm GoTo MakCass Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClRZLONVzcs&t=2s View our complete selection of cassegrain telescopes: http://bit.ly/2IblGIZ To be notified when new videos are added to our growing library of stargazer how-to videos, subscribe to the Orion channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/oriontelescopes/ Visit https://www.telescope.com to find high quality products for amateur astronomers.

12" (304mm) aperture, f/8 Ritchey-Chrétien optics housed in a thermally stable carbon fiber Serrurier-design truss tube assembly. For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2N4gdSM The new Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph features premium quartz mirror optics housed in an ingenious truss tube support structure originally developed back in 1935 for the 200" Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory! This exquisitely engineered telescope is optimized for large-aperture astrophotographic excellence - and will take your imaging pursuits to a whole new level! Unlike conventional Newtonian reflector and Schmidt-Cassegrain designs that are susceptible to displaying coma away from the center of the field, the Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph utilizes hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors to achieve wonderfully flat images that are virtually coma-free. Plus, since there are no lenses involved, images are delightfully free of chromatic aberration, for true-color performance. Both the 12" (304mm) primary mirror and the secondary mirror are figured from low-expansion quartz glass and boast enhanced aluminum coatings to provide 96% reflectivity. The primary mirror is fixed in place to eliminate annoying "image shift" that plagues Schmidt- and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. The secondary mirror is precisely center-marked to facilitate collimation. The Serrurier carbon fiber truss system is thermally very stable, minimizing the effect of ambient temperature changes on the telescope's focus. Plus, since it's an open tube, the optics cool down faster than solid tube versions. The Serrurier system utilizes two sets of opposing truss tubes on either side of the declination pivot plane, which keep the optical elements parallel to each other no matter how the telescope is oriented, thus keeping optical collimation precisely intact. Stainless steel ball and socket hardware connects the truss tubes to the telescope's three large CNC-machined aluminum support plates. The focuser on the Orion 12" f/8 Truss Tube Ritchey-Chrétien Astrograph is a masterpiece of rigidity and precision. The CNC-machined 3.3" dual-speed (10:1) linear bearing Crayford focuser features a stainless steel rail on the drawtube that provides extra support for up to 9 lbs. of imaging gear without flexure or slippage. The focuser can be rotated 360 degrees for image framing. Both 2" and 1.25" non-marring compression ring accessory collars permit the use of 2" or 1.25" accessories.

Artist's concept illustrating Supernova 1987A as the powerful blast wave passes through its outer ring and destroys most of its dust, before the dust re-forms or grows rapidly. Observations from NASA and DLR's SOFIA reveal that dust — a building block of stars and planets — can re-form or grow immediately after the catastrophic damage caused by the blast wave.

Stuart Eves takes us on a tour of the solar system, covering the evolution of the stars and planets and describing some of the mysteries that we have yet to solve. Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe Since the start of the space age in 1957, our understanding of the solar system has increased enormously thanks to both space-based telescopes and spacecraft that have been sent to visit the planets. Although these missions have answered many questions, they have also collected a great deal of information that fundamentally challenges our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system. Stuart Eves will explain the mysteries of our local neighbourhood that we have yet to unravel. Stuart Eves is a satellite-system engineer. He has recently joined Vaeros Ltd. after spending 14 years with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) and 16 years with the UK Ministry of Defence. During his time with the MoD, Stuart initiated the TopSat satellite programme, which established a new world record for ‘resolution per mass of satellite’, and for a time formed part of the space gallery at the Science Museum. He has recently published ‘Space Traffic Control’, a book which describes the measures needed to maintain the space environment and protect satellites from both natural hazards and man-made threats such as space debris. Stuart has an MSc in Astrophysics, a PhD in constellation design, and has been a fellow of both the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Interplanetary Society for more than 25 years. He takes an active interest in all things space, and is thus best described as an ‘astro-nut’!

What can you see in the February sky? Stars and planets with distinct red and blue colors, like Mars and Sirius. February also brings some pretty pairings with Venus, Saturn and the Moon, and the best opportunity of the year to catch a glimpse of Mercury. We also point out locations in the sky of several destinations recently visited by NASA spacecraft.

Scientists think that within 10 million years of our solar system’s formation, Bennu’s present-day composition was already established. Bennu likely broke off from a much larger carbon-rich asteroid about 700 million to 2 billion years ago. It likely formed in the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, and has drifted much closer to Earth since then. Because its materials are so old, Bennu may contain organic molecules similar to those that could have been involved with the start of life on Earth.

Another episode of Night Sky News for this month - the first half what you can see in the sky this next month and the second half a recap of the space news of the last month. A lot has happened in the past month, including New Horizon’s fly by of Ultima Thule in the Kuiper Belt, China’s Chang’e4 probe landing on the Moon and growing a plant (!), results from the Cassini mission which have let us figure out how old Saturn’s rings are and more detections of these unexplained fast radio bursts. I already made a video about Fast Radio Bursts in my Unsolved Mysteries series, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLOFpGrnJ9o The audio in this video isn’t perfect - I had some issues with a high pitched whine that varied in frequency across the recording. Did my best to remove it as much as I could but it’s still there in some places where that wasn’t enough white space to get a noise profile. I clearly need a more expensive mic.

Telescope Talk Hangouts are sponsored by OPT Telescopes: https://bit.ly/2SwhmVB The Giant Magellan Telescope will be one member of the next class of giant ground-based telescopes that promises to revolutionize our view and understanding of the universe. It will be constructed in the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Commissioning of the telescope is scheduled to begin in 2024. The GMT has a unique design that offers several advantages. It is a segmented mirror telescope that employs seven of today’s largest stiff monolith mirrors as segments. Six off-axis 8.4 meter or 27-foot segments surround a central on-axis segment, forming a single optical surface 24.5 meters, or 80 feet, in diameter with a total collecting area of 368 square meters. The GMT will have a resolving power 10 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope. The GMT project is the work of a distinguished international consortium of leading universities and science institutions.

Astronomers have a hard time communicating the scale of the universe, with objects being so far away it's common to bring things down to Earth to make it easier for the general public to grasp. It's a lot easier to imaging the size of a space rock if you compare it to a city, or a white dwarf compared to the Earth or sun. I imagine the consequences if these objects were really moved this close together. Universe Sandbox 2 lets me simulate some of these with glorious graphical destruction. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/universe-sandbox-squared?partner=szyzyg&charity=61469

The Hubble Space Telescope created a giant mosaic image of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) at the 233rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society. It's the highest-resolution image of Triangulum galaxy ever created, resolving more than 15 million individual stars. Triangulum is the third-largest galaxy in the Local Group of galaxies, which include the Andromeda galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies. Hubble made a similar mosaic of the Andromeda galaxy in 2015. These Hubble mosaics, combined with similar studies of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, will allow astronomers to better understand stellar evolution both locally and throughout the universe. 🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/christianready?sub_confirmation=1 Share this video with a fellow space traveler: https://youtu.be/8h_QZN6bxrc 🔴 Watch my most recent upload: https://youtu.be/kCpqlLeGSS4 🚀 Join the Launch Pad community on Patreon https://patreon.com/launchpadastro 🚀 Check out Launch Pad merchandise! https://teespring.com/stores/launchpadastro Disclaimer: Some of these links go to one of my websites and some are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.

This video sequence gives a detailed close-up view of the Triangulum Galaxy, also known as Messier 33. The beautiful picture of this nearby spiral, the second-closest large galaxy to our own, was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The image is packed with bright star clusters and clouds of gas and dust. This picture is the most detailed wide-field view of this object ever taken and shows the many glowing gas clouds in the spiral arms with particular clarity.

Astronomers over the years have picked up dozens of "fast radio bursts" (FRBs) -- mysterious radio signals detected from an unknown part of the cosmos. But for only the second time, they have now found one that repeats itself, making it more likely that we might find out where they come from.

The Chandra X-ray Center has prepared a platter of cosmic treats from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory to enjoy. This selection represents different types of objects -- ranging from relatively nearby exploded stars to extremely distant and massive clusters of galaxies -- that emit X-rays detected by Chandra. Each image in this collection blends Chandra data with other telescopes, creating a colorful medley of light from our Universe. Let’s look at the offerings. E0102-72.3 is a supernova remnant produced by a massive star that exploded in a nearby galaxy called the Small Magellanic Cloud. X-rays from Chandra have helped astronomers confirm that most of the oxygen in the universe is synthesized in massive stars. The amount of oxygen in the E0102-72.3 ring shown here is enough for thousands of solar systems. This image also contains optical data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Located about 4 billion light years from Earth, Abell 370 is a galaxy cluster containing several hundred galaxies. Galaxy clusters are the largest objects in the Universe held together by gravity. In addition to the individual galaxies, they contain vast amounts of multimillion-degree gas that emits X-rays, and dark matter that supplies most of the gravity of the cluster, yet does not produce any light. Chandra reveals the hot gas in a combined image with optical data from Hubble. Also known as NGC 6523 or the Lagoon Nebula, Messier 8 is a giant cloud of gas and dust where stars are currently forming. At a distance of about 4,000 light years from Earth, Messier 8 provides astronomers an excellent opportunity to study the properties of very young stars. Many infant stars give off copious amounts of high-energy light including X-rays, which are seen in the Chandra data. The X-ray data have been combined with an optical image of Messier 8 from the Mt. Lemmon Sky Center in Arizona. Look just below the middle of the three stars in the belt in the constellation of Orion to find the Orion Nebula, which can be seen without a telescope. With a telescope like Chandra, however, the view is much different. In this image, X-rays from Chandra reveal individual young stars, which are hot and energetic. When combined with radio emission from the NSF’s Very Large Array, a vista of this stellar nursery is created that the unaided human eye could never capture. The Triangulum Galaxy, a.k.a., Messier 33, is a spiral galaxy about 3 million light years from Earth. It belongs to the Local Group of galaxies that includes the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Chandra’s X-ray data (pink) reveal a diverse range of objects including neutron stars and black holes that are pulling material from a companion star, and supernova remnants. An optical image by amateur astronomer Warren Keller shows the majestic arms of this spiral galaxy that in many ways is a cousin to our own Milky Way. This composite image contains the aftermath of a giant collision involving four separate galaxy clusters at a distance of about 3.5 billion light years. Officially known as Abell 2744, this system is also referred to by astronomers as “Pandora’s Cluster” because of all of the different structures found within it. This view of Abell 2744 contains X-ray data from Chandra showing hot gas, optical data from Subaru and the VLT, plus a map depicting the total mass concentration in the cluster, using optical data. Most of the cluster’s mass is dark matter. Those of us at the Chandra X-ray Center wish you a wonderful 2019 and another year of excitement and discovery.

I did not believe this image was real when I first saw it. It looks so weird! It's not a spiral galaxy though, it's a star in our own Milky Way galaxy. So what is causing this weird spiral pattern of dust? I go through the physics of carbon stars and the best hypothesis we currently have to explain it. Let me know in the comments what weird space objects you guess humanity might be missing because we're not in the right place to see them.

Hidden in a distant galaxy cluster collision are wisps of gas resembling the starship Enterprise – an iconic spaceship from the "Star Trek" franchise. Galaxy clusters — cosmic structures containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies — are the largest objects in the Universe held together by gravity. Multi-million-degree gas fills the space in between the individual galaxies. The mass of the hot gas is about six times greater than that of all the galaxies combined. This superheated gas is invisible to optical telescopes, but shines brightly in X-rays, so an X-ray telescope like NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is required to study it. By combining X-rays with other types of light, such as radio waves, a more complete picture of these important cosmic objects can be obtained. A new composite image of the galaxy cluster Abell 1033, including X-rays from Chandra (purple) and radio emission from the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) network in the Netherlands (blue), does just that. Optical emission from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is also shown. The galaxy cluster is located about 1.6 billion light years from Earth. Using X-ray and radio data, scientists have determined that Abell 1033 is actually two galaxy clusters in the process of colliding. This extraordinarily energetic event, happening from the top to the bottom in the image, has produced turbulence and shock waves, similar to sonic booms produced by a plane moving faster than the speed of sound. In addition to the astrophysical value, the new Abell 1033 image also provides an excellent example of something that happens in another scientific field. Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where familiar shapes and patterns are seen in otherwise random data. In Abell 1033, the structures in the data create an uncanny resemblance — at least to some people — to many of the depictions of the fictional Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. Because of the abstract quality of data taken of space objects, pareidolia can happen quite frequently with astronomical images.
