This image of Earth’s city lights was created with data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS).

Visible Earth: Earth's City Lights

Originally designed to view clouds by moonlight, the OLS is also used to map the locations of permanent lights on the Earth’s surface. The brightest areas of the Earth are the most urbanized, but not necessarily the most populated. (Compare western Europe with China and India.) Cities tend to grow along coastlines and transportation networks. Even without the underlying map, the outlines of many continents would still be visible. Even more than 100 years after the invention of the electric light, some regions remain thinly populated and unlit. The Earth Observatory article Bright Lights, Big City describes how NASA scientists use city light data to map urbanization. S Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Brings 'Earthrise' to Everyone. Voyager - The Interstellar Mission. Explore the Night Sky With Stellarium. Have you ever looked up at the night sky wondering where those elusive constellations are?

Explore the Night Sky With Stellarium

Do you wonder what that really bright star (or planet) is called? With Stellarium, you will wonder no longer! You may have heard of Celestia, a great program that lets you leave planet Earth and explore space from beyond. Stellarium is similar to Celestia in some ways, but it allows you to view and explore the night sky exactly as it would appear from any location on Earth. Like Celestia, it is also available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. White hole. In general relativity, a white hole is a hypothetical region of spacetime which cannot be entered from the outside, although matter and light can escape from it.

White hole

In this sense, it is the reverse of a black hole, which can only be entered from the outside, but from which nothing, including light, can escape. White holes appear in the theory of eternal black holes. In addition to a black hole region in the future, such a solution of the Einstein field equations has a white hole region in its past.[1] However, this region does not exist for black holes that have formed through gravitational collapse, nor are there any known physical processes through which a white hole could be formed. Like black holes, white holes have properties like mass, charge, and angular momentum.

But after its orbit was better determined it was clear that it was not a comet but more like a small planet. Asteroids – Facts and Information about Asteroids. Asteroids are small, airless rocky worlds revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets.

Two huge planets found orbiting a star 375 light-years away are the oldest alien worlds yet discovered, scientists say. With an estimated age of 12.8 billion years, the host star—and thus the planets—most likely formed at the dawn of the universe, less than a billion years after the big bang.

"The Milky Way itself was not completely formed yet," said study leader Johny Setiawan, who conducted the research while at the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany. (Related: "Oldest Material in Solar System Found. ") During a recent survey, Setiawan and colleagues found the signatures of the two planets orbiting the star, dubbed HIP 11952. Pluto.

Astronomers have for the first time discovered two alien planets whirling around a pair of stars: a complete solar system with twin suns just like Luke Skywalker's fictional home world Tatooine.

Two 'Tatooine' Alien Planets With Twin Suns Found

Most stars like our sun are not singletons, but rather come in pairs that orbit each other. Scientists had found planets in these binary systems, so-called circumbinary planets with two suns like Tatooine in the "Star Wars" universe. To find more circumbinary planets, astronomers analyzed data from NASA's prolific Kepler space telescope, which has detected more than 2,300 potential alien worlds since its March 2009 launch. Kepler had to date detected four systems with circumbinary planets — Kepler-16, 34, 35 and 38. The solar system. What Is a Black Hole? An artist's drawing a black hole named Cygnus X-1.
