The Rosette Nebula A Beginner's Guide to DSLR Astrophotography This book on CD-ROM for beginning astrophotographers explains how to take beautiful images with your digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera using simple step-by-step techniques that anyone can learn. You will see how easy it is to take great pictures with very modest equipment and basic methods that are within everyone's ability.
Beginning and End of the Universe July 26, 2010 § Universe History * The diagram below outlines the major Eras of the Universe according to the Big Bang Theory. Click the picture for many more details and a larger image. The one line in the article that caught my attention the most was at the end. “One important point is that since everything that we learn about the Universe comes from light (photons), if there are no photons there is no information. 2009 January 27 - The Milky Way Over Mauna Kea Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2009 January 27
The Making of a Mind-Blowing Space Photo One late night in 2007, Rogelio Bernal Andreo and his wife were driving down Highway 1 along California’s Lost Coast, when his wife opened the moon roof. What spread out above them looked nothing like the mauve sky near their Sunnyvale home. “It was like the Milky Way was in front of us,” said Andreo, a former early eBay employee, who runs a Spanish-language internet company. “It looked like it was gonna fall on us.”
Are We Living Inside a Black Hole July 23, 2010 § This is a new one. I don’t know about you, but I will have fun thinking abut this one this weekend. My definition of fun is different than most. “Scientists trying to explain the universe’s accelerating expansion usually point to dark energy, which seems to be pushing everything apart.But an Indiana University professor has a new theory, reports New Scientist: We’re inside a black hole that exists in another universe. Specifically, a black hole that rebounded, somewhat like a spring.Some fairly mind-blowing physics is involved here, but the gist is that Nikodem Poplawski of IU-Bloomington used a modified version of Einstein’s general relativity equation set that takes particle spin into account.”

Story of the Biggest Experiment in History Caught on Film On July 4, 2012, scientists around the world waited with bated breath for the announcement that the long-awaited Higgs boson particle had been discovered. The finding — the result of the biggest and most expensive experiment in history — was set to either confirm reigning models of particle physics, or reveal gaps in scientists' understanding of the universe. A new documentary follows six scientists during the launch of the machine that made the discovery possible, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a gigantic particle accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), in Switzerland, as they attempt to recreate the earliest moments of the universe. "Particle Fever" captures the scientists' sense of excitement and foreboding leading up to the discovery of the Higgs, the particle that explains how other particles get their mass. The film opens during the first test of a single proton beam in September 2008. Supersymmetry vs. multiverse
84 Million Stars and Counting eso1242 — Photo Release VISTA creates largest ever catalogue of centre of our galaxy 24 October 2012 Incredible Space Pics from ISS by NASA astronaut Wheelock Go Discovery! It was October 23, 2007 at 11:40am EST when I had my first ride to space on Discovery. She’s beautiful… just sad that this will be her last voyage. Looking forward to climbing aboard the flight deck when Discovery arrives at the Space Station in November. (9-23-2010). Earth - Take a trip around the pale blue dot we all call home In this short film, BBC Earth explores the tiny little planet we all live on. We're releasing it in tribute to the astronomer Carl Sagan, who was born on this day in 1934. Sagan gave us perhaps the clearest demonstration that, while the Earth may seem enormous, compared to the universe it is minuscule.
