The 11-Jupiter-mass exoplanet called HD 106906 b, shown in this artist's illustration, occupies an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away. It may be offering clues to something that might be much closer to home: a hypothesized distant member of our solar system dubbed "Planet Nine." This is the first time that astronomers have been able to measure the motion of a massive Jupiter-like planet that is orbiting very far away from its host stars and visible debris disk.

These two spiral galaxies are similar to the Milky Way and Andromeda, but they look quite different from each other. That’s because the galaxy on the left (called NGC 4302) is turned to the side so we see it edge-on, while the one on the right (NGC 4298) appears face-on so we get a full view of its spiral shape.

This dramatic view of the center of the Orion Nebula reveals the home of three speedy, wayward stars that were members of a now-defunct multiple-star system. The stellar grouping broke apart 500 years ago, flinging the three stars out of their birthplace. The image, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, combines observations taken in visible light with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and in near-infrared light with the Wide Field Camera 3. A grouping of hefty, young stars, called the Trapezium Cluster, is at the center of the image. Several hundred stars are sprinkled throughout the image. Many of them appear red because their light is being scattered by dust. The box just above the Trapezium Cluster outlines the location of the three stars. A Hubble close-up view of the stars is shown at top right. The birthplace of the multi-star system is marked "initial position." Two of the stars — labeled BN, for Becklin-Neugebauer, and "I," for source I — were discovered decades ago. Source I is embedded in thick dust and cannot be seen. The third star, "x," for source x, was recently discovered to have moved noticeably between 1998 and 2015, as shown in the inset image at bottom right. Source x is traveling at an unusually high speed of 130,000 miles per hour, which is 30 times faster than the velocity of most stars in the nebula. Astronomers found the speedy source x by comparing observations taken in 1998 by the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer with those taken in 2015 by the Wide Field Camera 3. Hubble's discovery of the high velocity of source x has helped astronomers solve the long-standing mystery of how the stars BN and source I acquired their fast motions.

This spectacular color panorama of the center of the Orion Nebula is one of the largest pictures ever assembled from individual images taken with the Hubble telescope. These gas disks illustrate an early stage of planetary formation. The red glow in the center of each disk is a young, newly formed star. As they evolve, the disks may go on to form planetary systems like our own.

Hello to all. Visit my presentation in the International Astronautical Congress 2020 online edition. It is concept proposal for human life expansion into solar system. Find it in https://iac2020.vfairs.com/ in Technical Gallery, D4. 18th IAA SYMPOSIUM ON VISIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE with the title: A concept for space colonization process based on asteroid minery.

I'm going to be very honest, I haven't been on the site in a long time and I missed some events that have happened. Now I look forward to what Asgardia is becoming and I am happy to belong to a nation made up of committed people and with values ​​that will make this first space nation a pride for humanity. About me I can say that I am currently working on a project on my own that is related to dark matter and energy and the manipulation of space-time, and that unfortunately I have not had the support of any institution or company interested in changing concepts such as universe geometry, the very concept of time, among other things, as well as the possible applications that will be possible once I can conclude with my work such as interplanetary travel at (apparent) speeds much higher than light. I am going to continue working and it could be that this could be an achievement of Asgardia, you just have to be patient because at the point where I am I need equipment and resources that I do not have, but sooner or later this will be a reality. I also tell you that another of my projects is a novel (in Spanish) that I will gladly share with you once I finish it. Thank you in advance for your attention and time. Best regards.

Realizando observaciones astronómicas, es decir, lo que la vista me da estando parado en la azotea de casa, soy capaz de ver cuando pasa la ISS y también algunos otros satélites, pero nunca me había percatado de la existencia de una red hexagonal que existe fuera (o dentro, no lo se) del planeta. se alcanzo a ver porque presencie el choque de un aerolito, al incendiarse, se dejo a plena vista la red, como si sus uniones fuesen de cristal. no entiendo como paso, pero lo vi. he visto muchos aerolitos entrar, y es la primera vez que noto eso. y no, no estoy medicado ni nada. en fin. esto fue el 23 mayo 2020 las 4:30 am aproximadamente. saludos y bueno si alguien sabe de que se trata, le agradezco ponerlo en los comentarios. P.D. No tengo equipo para observar ni fotografiar. Seguiré investigando.
