A Stargazers Dream' Time-lapse Production
Lanzamiento de CLASP (NASA)
Lanzamiento de CLASP (NASA)
 | IACvideos |
Instrumento CLASP (Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha SpectroPolarimeter), lanzado el 3 de septiembre de 2015 en un cohete suborbital de la NASA desde el Campo de Misiles de Arenas Blancas (Nuevo México, Estados Unidos). Midió por primera vez la polarización de la radiación ultravioleta del Sol en las líneas Lyman-alfa del hidrógeno y del Si III a 1206 Angstromsm, que proporciona información sobre el campo magnético y geometría del plasma en la enigmática región de transición entre la cromosfera y corona del Sol. El instrumento realizó las observaciones por encima de 150 km de altura, donde dicha radiación ultravioleta comienza a ser medible, mientras ascendía hasta 300 kilómetros de altura siguiendo una trayectoria parabólica. Los cuatro centros de investigación responsables de esta misión son NAOJ, NASA/MSFC, IAS y el IAC.

Súper-tierra planeta GJ625B orbitando una enana roja
Súper-tierra planeta GJ625B orbitando una enana roja
| IACvideos |
Vídeo en el que se muestra al exoplaneta GJ625B, con alrededor de 5,4 masas terrestres, orbitando alrededor de su estrella, GJ625 (Gliese 625), una enana roja relativamente fría y cercana a la Tierra. Un equipo internacional liderado por investigadores del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias ha descubierto con la técnica de velocidad radial este planeta posiblemente rocoso en el borde de la zona habitable de una enana roja. Solo se conocen unas decenas de sistemas planetarios de este tipo y su detección ha sido posible con el espectrógrafo HARPS-N del Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), instalado en el Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos, en La Palma.

Seeing Earth IN Space [new ISS timelapse footage]
We've all seen pictures of Earth from space, but have we really taken the time to appreciate what our planet looks like against the starscapes of the Milky Way galaxy? Here, we beckon viewers to see Earth in its cosmic context, which includs the stars, interstellar gases, the moon, the sun, and the solar winds. Be sure to watch in full HD, 1080p, and imagine you're an astronaut aboard the International Space Station with a little time on your hands. more
EARTH Masterpieces of Ice and Stone
Revel in Earth as Art. Make sure you watch in glorious 1080p. Landsat missions were launched for scientific purposes, but they make up one of the most awe-inspiring collections of beautiful images of our home planet.
For the last few centuries, artists have been exploring Earth's untamed and awe-inspiring vistas, often as an antidote to life in the modern world. They evoked the grandeur of the Hudson River, the peace of Scandinavian fiords, or the omnipotent power of the ocean. This romantic ideal today has gained a new vantage point, from space, and a new set of brushes for capturing the beauty of our planet.
Landsat images feature colors tuned to record geological or even human forces at work. More than that, though, this great gallery of Earth explores its timeless beauty, its uncertain path forward.
So take this tour of Earth's great landforms as seen from space. We travel to Africa and the Sahara and Namib deserts, to Argentina and Bolivia, the American heartland, ... more

The View from Space - Countries and Coastlines
In 1080p. These high-res time-lapse sequences captured by astronauts aboard the International Space Station give us a beautiful and clear view of some well-known coastlines and countries around the world. Get a good look at England, France, Italy, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Greece, the island of Crete, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, and more. We've attempted to show as many countries as we would, but inevitably we've left many out. Please write to the the astronaut photography office at NASA's Johnson Space Center to request inclusion in this amazing series of sequences. more
Visualizing Jets Blasted Out of Newborn Stars
From Hubblecast in 1080p. Newborn stars firing out jets of matter, from images captured over time by Hubble scientists have created fascinating movie sequences showing their progress out into space. These jets may cast new light on how the Sun formed 4.5 billion years ago.
An international team of scientists led by astronomer Patrick Hartigan of Rice University in Houston, USA, has collected enough high-resolution Hubble images over a 14-year period to stitch together time-lapse movies of these jets. more

GRAIL Spacecraft Named on This Week @ NASA
Students at Emily Dickinson Elementary School in Bozeman, Montana won a nationwide contest to re-name the twin Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory spacecraft formerly known as GRAIL-A and GRAIL-B. The winning names -- "Ebb" and "Flow". The spacecraft have been in orbit around the moon since New Year's Day -- collecting data to create a gravity map of the moon. Also, Moving Earth for the new home of Space Shuttle Atlantis, The Invention Challenge, Astronaut Cady Coleman in Cleveland, a new App to keep track of meteors and more. more
Some Comets Like It Hot Files
Astronomers are still scratching their heads over Comet Lovejoy, which plunged through the atmosphere of the sun in December and, against all odds, survived. The comet is now receding into the outer solar system leaving many mysteries behind.

Coming this month: Closest Known Approach by a Large Asteroid
Coming this month: Closest Known Approach by a Large Asteroid
2005 YU-55 is going to make a very close approach to the Earth on the night of November 8, 2011. At that time, its distance from Earth will be just under nine-tenths of the moon's distance away from us. 2005 YU-55 cannot hit Earth at least over the interval that we can compute the motion reliably which extends for several hundred years.
It's going to be moving very rapidly as it traverses the sky near the Earth on November 7, 8, 9 and 10th. In affect it'll be moving straight at us from one direction and then it will go whizzing by and straight away from us in the other direction. So its motion across the sky will be close to degrees over the course of less than two days. It made a close approach to Earth about eighteen months ago in April of 2010. Colleagues of ours at Arecibo Observatory where able to observe this asteroid using the radar facility at Arecibo and they were able to obtain radar images that showed that this object is about 400 meters across. On November 8, 9, 10 we... more

Dwarf Planet Crossing at the Edge of the Solar System
From ESOCast. Astronomers have accurately measured the size of the remote dwarf planet Eris for the first time. They caught it as it passed in front of a faint star. Eris also seems to be extremely reflective, probably because it is covered in a thin layer of frozen atmosphere.
Occultations are rather like eclipses —the background star disappears behind the object and reappears on its other side. As viewed from Earth, the brightness of the background star suddenly drops and then returns equally suddenly to its previous level. By looking at these two events, astronomers can measure the size and shape of the occulting foreground object. If they also know the mass of this object they can then determine its density.
The occultation technique has now enabled astronomers to learn a lot more about the dwarf planet Eris. Eris was identified as a large object in the outer Solar System in 2005. Its discovery was one of the factors that led to the creation of a new class of objects cal... more

Hurricane Rina Caught on ISS Cameras
External cameras on the International Space Station captured views of Hurricane Rina at 2:39 p.m. EDT on Oct. 25, 2011, as the complex flew 248 miles over the Caribbean Sea east of Belize. The late season hurricane, which continues to intensify, was located 300 miles east-southeast of Chetumal, Mexico, barely moving west-northwest at a glacial three miles an hour. Rina is packing winds of 105 miles an hour, and is forecast to intensify to a major hurricane as it approaches the Yucatan Peninsula. Hurricane warnings have been issued for the Yucatan from north of Punta Gruesa, Mexico, to Cancun. more
