Crab Nebula

[zurich-snows]

Meiser 1 | Vintage Photo Gravure (1959). Better known as the Crab Nebula, Charles Messier originally mistook Messier 1 for Halley’s Comet, which inspired him to create his famous Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Etoiles.

In 1054, Chinese astronomers took notice of a “guest star” that was, for nearly a month, visible in the daytime sky. The “guest star" they observed was actually a supernova explosion, which gave rise to the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide remnant of the violent event. The glowing relic has been expanding since the star exploded, and it is now approximately 11 light-years in width.

References to the star’s supernova explosion are also found in a later (13th-century) Japanese document, and in a document from the Islamic world. Furthermore, there are a number of proposed references from European sources recorded in the 15th century, as well as a pictograph associated with the Ancestral Puebloan culture found near the Peñasco Blanco site in New Mexico, United States. The pyramids at Cahokia in the midwestern United States may have been built in response to the supernova’s appearance in the sky.

Astrofísico teórico propone solución al enigma del patrón "cebra" de la Nebulosa del Cangrejo

La Nebulosa del Cangrejo es el remanente de una supernova que apareció en el año 1054

Un astrofísico teórico de la Universidad de Kansas puede haber resuelto un misterio de casi dos décadas sobre los orígenes de un patrón “cebra” inusual visto en pulsos de radio de alta frecuencia de la Nebulosa del Cangrejo. Sus hallazgos acaban de ser publicados en Physical Review Letters. La Nebulosa del Cangrejo presenta una estrella de neutrones en su centro que se ha convertido en un…

The Crab Nebula, the remnants of a colossal supernova explosion nearly 1000 years ago.

The Crab Nebula, NGC 1952, Taurus A Image exposure:51 MinutesImage Size:38.6 x 25.6 arcminImage date:2024-01-18 These are the entrails, over ten light years in diameter, of a giant star which exploded in the Milky Way galaxy in the year 1054 CE. The “guest star” event was separately logged at the time by Chinese, Japanese and Islamic astronomers and was so bright that it was visible in the…

"And it just happened to be empty?" "Something like that."

Suits 4x8 "Exposure" Mike returns to Pearson Specter and gets Harvey's old office.

Joyce is such a fascinating character to me cause she feels so... defeated? In a way that feels at the same time distinct and very similar to Harry. I think the reality lowdown sometimes gets written off as being manipulative, and maybe there's an element of that, but she's also self-aware and vulnerable in a way I can't imagine a woman in her position would ever be with Harry. And she seems genuinely sad about how everything turned out; she wants to be forgiven by Harry, and if you do, she doesn't feel like she deserves that forgiveness anyways. She's intelligent, and aware of history in a way that real world CEO and economic leader types rarely, if ever, openly admit. She openly regrets the way all that history played out, and it's so fascinating to me that she chose her idealogy and career while knowing and internalizing so many emotions about the revolution. She wanted them to succeed; but she's a survivor, first and foremost.

There's so many characters I wish we would ever get to see more of, but at least for me, Joyce seems like a character I'd really love to learn more about her past. Especially with how she talks about Cindy, it makes me feel like she had a revolutionary streak when she was younger; I doubt it was lost in any way that wasn't boring, life washing away her edges until all that remained was what we see in the game. Maybe it'd make her less interesting to learn more about her, but she's one of the most fascinating characters in the game to me, in a game filled with some of the most interesting and thought provoking characters I've seen in the medium.

Happy Anniversary In Stars and Time!! Have some Friend Quest based drawings :D

(These have specific quote picks related to them! And there's also a long ramble on why I like those specific quotes below if interested)

(And by long, I mean roughly 2k+ words of proper ramble total, so be warned before clicking keep reading this link right here to the rb!!)

Otra vez investigan orígenes de la Nebulosa del Cangrejo con el James Webb

Las teorías predicen que debido a la diferente composición química del núcleo de una supernova de captura de electrones, la proporción de abundancia de níquel a hierro (Ni/Fe) debería ser mucho mayor que la proporción medida en nuestro Sol (que contiene e

Un equipo de científicos utilizó el telescopio espacial James Webb de NASA/ESA/CSA para analizar la composición de la Nebulosa del Cangrejo, un remanente de supernova ubicado a 6.500 años luz de distancia en la constelación de Tauro. Con el MIRI (instrumento de infrarrojo medio) y la NIRCam (cámara de infrarrojo cercano) del telescopio, el equipo recopiló datos que están ayudando a aclarar la…
