Papist Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 An advanced telescope imaging system that started taking data in June 2012 is the first of its kind capable of spotting planets orbiting suns outside of our solar system. The collaborative set of high-tech instrumentation and software, called Project 1640, is now operating on the Hale telescope at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, after more than six years of development.

Papist Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 The images are nearby star 1.5 times larger than the sun. The star is centered in both images, and its light has been mostly removed by an adaptive optics system and coronagraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papist Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Astronomers have discovered a pair of neighboring planets with dissimilar densities orbiting very close to each other. The planets are too close to their star to be in the so-called "habitable zone," the region in a star system where liquid water might exist on the surface, but they have the closest orbits between two planets ever confirmed. The findings appeared in the journal Science. [img]http://i.imgur.com/NX9EK.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is an image of a Pinwheel Galaxy, or also known as M101. It combines data in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-rays from four of NASA's space-based telescopes.

You can choose between green, red and blue. Every color has a slider which means you can actually combines 3 shades from the 3 different colors available.

Papist Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 The formation of small worlds like Earth was once thought to occur mostly around stars rich in heavy elements such as iron and silicon. However, new ground-based observations, combined with data collected by NASA's Kepler space telescope, show small planets form around stars with a wide range of heavy element content and suggest they may be widespread in our galaxy.
