Planetary nebula NGC 2346 in Unicorn - The planetary nebula NGC 2346 - This nebula is located about 2000 years - light from Earth. A binary star resides in its center. Image obtained by the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring NGC 2346 is a fine bipolar planetary nebula which is on the celestial equator in the constellation of Monoceros. It is bright and conspicuous and has been extensively studied. Among its most remarkable characteristics is its unusually cool central star, which is a 'spectroscopic binary'. The two components are identified by the effect of their movement around each other on the lines of their spectrum. The double star, which has a period of about 16 days, is also variable, probably due to dust in orbit around it. The dust itself is heated by the central star and so NGC 2346 is unusually bright in the infrared part of the spectrum

Nebula of the Rosette in the Unicorn - Rosette nebula in Monoceros - The nebula of the Rosette is a vast cloud of dust and gas situated about 5500 years - light from the Earth. In the center of the nebula, a cluster of blue stars, NGC 2244, formed less than a million years ago. Image obtained by combining light through 3 different filters that highlight oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur. The Rosetta Nebula in the constellation Monoceros (the Unicorn) is a vast cloud of dust and gas, extending over an area of more than 1 degree across, or about 5 times the area covered by the full moon. Its parts have been assigned different NGC numbers: 2237, 2238, 2239, and 2246. Within the nebula, open star cluster NGC 2244 is situated, consisted of the young stars which recently formed from the nebula's material, and the brightest of which make the nebula shine by exciting its atoms to emit radiation.

Star clusters IC 348 in Persee seen in infrared - Star clusters IC 348 in Perseus - IC 348 is a cluster of 300 stars associated with a relatively bright nebula. The infrared image of the Spitzer telescope shows young stars (red and pink) that appeared about 3 million years ago and still surrounded by their gas cocoon. The nebula is located 1043 years of light from Earth. The IC 348 is a cluster which contains more than 300 young stars. Baby stars are forming near the eastern rim of the cosmic cloud Perseus, in this infrared image from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope. The baby stars are approximately three million years old and are shown as reddish - pink dots to the right of the image. The pinkish color indicates that these infant stars are still shrouded by the cosmic dust and gas that collapsed to form them. The Perseus Nebula is located about 1,043 light - years away in the Perseus constellation

Les Dentelles du Cygne - Detail - NGC 6960 - Part of the Veil nebula - NGC 6960 - Part of the rest of the supernova of the Dentelles du Swan lies about 1500 years - light from the Earth. The bright star is 52 Cygnus, a star visible to the naked eye that is not associated with lace. Image in false colors obtained with a telescope measuring 40 cm in diameter through various filters that highlight the oxygen (in blue), and the hydrogen (in red). The Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) is part of a supernova remnant known as the Cygnus Loop. It is the shattered remains of one, and possibly two, supernovae that exploded less than 10,000 years ago in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. At the time of the explosion, it would have been seen as a very bright star, rivaling the crescent Moon. The bright star at right, known as 52 Cygnus, is not associated with the supernova. Image taken with a 16 - inch telescope. Red is Hydrogen, Blue is Oxygen

Spiral galaxy NGC 908 in the Whale - Spiral galaxy NGC 908 in Cetus - NGC 908 is about 65 million years away - light from Earth. This galaxy undergoes a star-forming flames; clusters of young and massive stars are visible in the spiral arms. It is 75,000 years long - light years long and its shape suggests that it is subject to the gravitational influence of another galaxy yet unidentified. NGC 908 is a starburst galaxy, one that is undergoing a period of intense star formation. This is why it has numerous clumps of bright stars in its spiral arms and appears so bright on this photograph. It is also asymmetrical, with a peculiar split in the spiral arm on the left (eastern) side of the galaxy. Both these characteristics usually mean the galaxy has been disturbed by some massive intruder, usually another galaxy, but none is evident on the photograph or in the wider field around NGC 908

Spiral galaxy M77 in the Whale - Active galaxy M77 (NGC 1068) in Cetus - M77 (NGC 1068) This active galaxy is a typical example of a galaxy in Seyfert II. It has an active core and houses a massive black hole. She is the object of intense star formation in her spiral arms. NGC 1068 is around 50 million years of light from Earth. M77 is an archetypical example of a Seyfert type II galaxy and the brightest galaxy of its class. M77 is a large galaxy and together with its faint outer spiral arms may extend up to 170,000 light years across. It is located about 50 million light years away in Cetus constellation. In contrast to a normal galactic nucleus the energy released from the Seyfert nucleus arises from a nonstellar source. The central engine of the Seyfert nucleus (and all AGN) is believed to be an accretion disk that continuously drops matter into a supermassive black hole

The cloud itself is opaque and because of that, very cold inside. These conditions are ideal for the formation of organic molecules on the surfaces of the chilled dust particles. The opacity of the cloud protects the fragile molecules within from the energetic radiation of nearby stars, but as its surface is gradually warmed and eroded, the delicate organic molecules are destroyed and the hydrogen released glows as a distinctive red emission nebula

Петр и Василий или деревня в «Совдепии» Petr and Vasilii or country people in Soviet Russia. (Series of colour drawings, accompanied by text. The poster tells of two peasants - Petr and Vasilii who live in the same village. Petr is hardworking and lives in plenty. Vasilii drinks day and night. Then "a great misfortune befalls Holy Russia - the arrival of Soviet power". A Comissar from Moscow sends the village a copy of the decree on land. An orator arrives, sent from Lenin. The drunk and bawling Vasilii makes the most noise at the meeting and is made President of the Committee of the Poor. He lives a easy life, takes Petr's horse, his flour, his samovar..."it turns out that the decree is such that he who has worked all his life is labelled a kulak and a harmful person"...Within a month the houses are falling down, the livestock have died - only the members of the committee live well)

Galaxy UGC 9618 in Bovier - Galaxy UGC 9618 in Botes - The galaxy UGC 9618, also called VV 340 or Arp 302, is about 450 million years away from Earth. It is a pair of interacting spiral galaxies, VV 340A (view from the edge, bottom) and VV 340B (view from the front, top). Massive stars are formed in abundance. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in January 2002. UGC 9618, also known as VV 340 or Arp 302 consists of a pair of very gas - rich spiral galaxies in their early stages of interaction: VV 340A is seen edge - on to the left, and VV 340B face - on to the right. An enormous amount of infrared light is radiated by the gas from massive stars that are forming at a rate similar to the most vigorous giant star - forming regions in our own Milky Way. UGC 9618 is 450 million light - years away from Earth, and is the 302nd galaxy in ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies

Kepler is the rest of a supernova that exploded about 400 years ago located about 13,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. This image obtained from the Hubble space telescope shows the filamentous structures of gases heated in contact with the shock wave. Composite of images obtained in August 2003 and May 2004; cumulative poses of 6 hours 30 minutes - Visible-light images from the Hubble telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys reveal where the supernova shock wave is slamming into the densest regions of surrounding gas. The bright glowing knots are dense clumps from instabilities that form behind the shock wave. The Hubble data also show thin filaments of gas that look like rippled sheets seen edge-on. These filaments reveal where the shock wave is encountering low-density, more uniform interstellar material. Hubble's image was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on August 28/29, 2003 & May 26, 2004 for a total of 6.5 hours: Remains of the supernova K

Nebula NGC 3372 in the Carene - NGC 3372, Eta Carinae nebula - The nebula of the Carene is located about 8000 years - light from the Earth. It is home to many hot massive stars, including the star Eta Carinae in the centre of the nebula. This nebula is larger than the Great Nebula in Orion, but is not visible from most northern latitudes. It is a giant complex of emission and dark nebulae surrounding the unique variable star Eta Carinae, which scientists believe is the most massive and energetic star in the Milky Way galaxy. Located about 8,500 light years from the Earth, the star is about 100 times as massive as our own Sun, but produces 6 million times the light output. It was observed producing a remarkable burst of X - ray emissions that doubled its X - ray output in only four months. In the 1840's, Eta Carinae erupted visibly and was the second brightest star in the sky during this time

Life forms on the surface of Gliese 581 c - Flying fauna over Gliese 581 c - Artist's view of the exoplanet Gliese 581c housing an alien life form. Gliese 581c, with a radius of 1.5 times that of the Earth, is the first exoplanet gathering the necessary elements to imagine the existence of a possible extra-terrestrial life. From its surface, its star, about 100 times less bright than our Sun, must be large in the sky because of its proximity to the planet. Gliese 581 b, another planet in this system, passes past this star. Flying life forms grace the crimson skies of the potentially earth - like extrasolar planet Gliese 581 v. The red dwarf star Gliese 581 rests on the horizon, presiding over a liquid water sea. Eclipsing the red dwarf is Gliese 581 b, a sister planet in the same system with a mass 17 times that of the Earth. While the existence of all three bodies has been confirmed, it is not known if Gliese 581 c has all the necessary ingredients to support life as we know it

Open cluster NGC 3293 in Carene - Open star cluster NGC 3293 in Carina - Star cluster located in the constellation Carene about 8500 years ago - light from Earth. Unlike the Sun, many stars are found in brilliant clusters such as NGC 3293 where they spend their lives. At birth, which should have been at much the same time for all the stars in NGC 3293, the most massive stars are hot and very luminous and therefore appear as the brightest blue stars. With time they deplete their supplies of nuclear fuel, hydrogen. This evolutionary process involves cooling, so that the stars become redder, and would ordinarily disappear from view, but they also swell to gigantic proportions and so remain visible. The bright orange star in NGC 3293 is the member of the cluster which has aged fastest. This cluster is in the constellation of Carina at a distance of about 8500 light years

Lakṣmaṇa and VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a then attack Rāvaṇa. Lakṣmaṇa cuts off the head of his charioteer with his arrow, while VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a, with his club, kills Rāvaṇa's horses. Rāvaṇa looses a great spear at VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a, which Lakṣmaṇa destroys, but he in turn falls victim to another of Rāvaṇa's spears, which pierces his chest and goes into the earth. Monkeys unsuccessfully try to pull it out, which Rāma does, offstage here. Rāma swears a solemn oath that this day Rāvaṇa will perish, and his hail of fearsome arrows then drives the terrified Rāvaṇa off the field. Rāma returns to the stricken Lakṣmaṇa and, after lamenting over the fallen hero, he and Suá¹£eá¹‡a discuss his condition. They decide to send Hanumān to the Himalayas once more. Divine beings rain flowers on the heroes.

Major George Massy Wheeler, of the Indian army, who has been awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery at Shaiba, Mesoptamia, in performing which he unhappily lost his life'. He was Major in the 7th Hariana Lancers, British Indian Army. On 12 April 1915 at Shaiba, Mesopotamia, Major Wheeler led his squadron in an attempt to capture a flag which was the centre-point of a group of the enemy who were firing on one of his troop's picquets. He advanced, attacked the enemy's infantry with the lance, and then retired while the enemy swarmed out of hidden ground where Royal Artillery guns could attack them. On 13 April Major Wheeler led his squadron to the attack of the North Mound. He was seen far ahead of his men, riding straight for the enemy's standards, but was killed in the attack.

Naga sadhus (monks) walk with great fan fare and beating of drums in a procession to the ghats. As per tradition, they have the first right of bathing in the holy Ganges on the occasion of Shahi Snan in Kumbh Mela, the biggest Hindu religious pilgrimage on earth. The number of pilgrims this year is expected to exceed around five million since the first day on January 14 till it ends on April 28, 2010. The auspicious days of the shahi snan or royal baths usually draw hundreds of thousands of devotees to the Har Ki Pauri and other banks of the Ganges river. As pilgrims from around the world gather on the occasion, most of the city remains shut for any vehicles other than security or emergency services, so a sea of humanity walks through the city to the bathing ghats.
