“Secrets of the Ancient Egyptians” (9 mysterious phenomena that baffled physics, astronomy, and geology, among the secrets of the ancient Egyptians)... 1 - One day a year sunlight enters the Great Pyramid on the day of the birth of a Pharaoh 2- The Pharaonic daggers inside the pyramid’s rooms do not rust or lose the blade despite the passage of thousands The years 3- In some rooms of the pyramid, the devices stop working and their signals are interrupted, and the reason is unknown 4- The location of the pyramids is on the same line that connects the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean and the Formosa Triangle in the Pacific Ocean, and in both triangles strange things happen, such as the disappearance of ships and planes and a malfunctioning compass. .   5 - Inside the Great Pyramid: 3 bedrooms, two of them on the ground and one in the basement.  6 - The four corners of the pyramid’s base indicate... all the original directions of the Earth with incredible accuracy that made scientists adjust their calculations to the twentieth century.   7 - The orbit that passes through the center of the pyramid divides the continents and oceans into two completely equal halves in terms of surface area.   8- The blades of lukewarm razors become as sharp as a sword if left for several days in the pyramid (why is not yet understood).   9 - The Great Pyramid. As for the astronomical system, it is specifically under the biggest star in the sky... love and light. https://image.nostr.build/4e056f0a280b2b60753bb3aedd0132f4693b36c9d54ba01584cf9482ff20dda0.jpg

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (2024-10-26): Phantoms in Cassiopeia
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/IC63_1024.jpg
These brightly outlined flowing shapes look ghostly on a cosmic scale. A telescopic view toward the constellation Cassiopeia, the colorful skyscape features the swept-back, comet-shaped clouds IC 59 (left) and IC 63. About 600 light-years distant, the clouds aren't actually ghosts. They are slowly disappearing though, under the influence of energetic radiation from hot, luminous star gamma Cas. Gamma Cas is physically located only 3 to 4 light-years from the nebulae and lies just above the right edge of the frame. Slightly closer to gamma Cas, IC 63 is dominated by red H-alpha light emitted as hydrogen atoms ionized by the hot star's ultraviolet radiation recombine with electrons. Farther from the star, IC 59 shows less H-alpha emission but more of the characteristic blue tint of dust reflected star light. The field of view spans over 1 degree or 10 light-years at the estimated distance of the interstellar apparitions.

Lowering their altitudes would make Starlink objects ~20% optically brighter than they are now. But there's a tradeoff, as (1) sats spend more time in the Earth's shadow and (2) are more out-of-focus to large optical/IR telescopes.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (2024-10-25): Globular Star Cluster NGC 6752
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/NGC6752_DiFusco1024.jpg
Some 13,000 light-years away toward the southern constellation Pavo, the globular star cluster NGC 6752 roams the halo of our Milky Way galaxy. Over 10 billion years old, NGC 6752 follows clusters Omega Centauri, 47 Tucanae, and Messier 22 as the fourth brightest globular in planet Earth's night sky. It holds over 100 thousand stars in a sphere about 100 light-years in diameter. Telescopic explorations of NGC 6752 have found that a remarkable fraction of the stars near the cluster's core, are multiple star systems. They also reveal the presence of blue straggle stars, stars which appear to be too young and massive to exist in a cluster whose stars are all expected to be at least twice as old as the Sun. The blue stragglers are thought to be formed by star mergers and collisions in the dense stellar environment at the cluster's core. This sharp color composite also features the cluster's ancient red giant stars in yellowish hues. (Note: The bright, spiky blue star about 8 o'clock from the cluster center is a foreground star along the line-of-sight to NGC 6752)

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (2024-10-24): NGC 7293: The Helix Nebula
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/NGC7293_preview1024.png
A mere seven hundred light years from Earth toward the constellation Aquarius, a star is dying. The once sun-like star's last few thousand years have produced the Helix Nebula. Also known as NGC 7293, the cosmic Helix is a well studied and nearby example of a Planetary Nebula, typical of this final phase of stellar evolution.  Combining narrow band data from emission lines of hydrogen atoms in red and oxygen atoms in blue-green hues, this deep image shows tantalizing details of the Helix, including its bright inner region about 3 light-years across. The white dot at the Helix's center is this Planetary Nebula's hot, dying central star. A simple looking nebula at first glance, the Helix is now understood to have a surprisingly complex geometry.

APOD: M16: Pillars of Star Creation
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/M16_HubbleWebbPisano_960.jpg
These dark pillars may look destructive, but they are creating stars.  This pillar-capturing picture of the Eagle Nebula combines visible light exposures taken with the Hubble Space Telescope with infrared images taken with the James Webb Space Telescope to highlight evaporating gaseous globules (EGGs) emerging from pillars of molecular hydrogen gas and dust.  The giant pillars are light years in length and are so dense that interior gas contracts gravitationally to form stars.  At each pillar's end, the intense radiation of bright young stars causes low density material to boil away, leaving stellar nurseries of dense EGGs exposed.  The Eagle Nebula, associated with the open star cluster M16, lies about 7000 light years away.   Jigsaw Challenge: Astronomy Puzzle of the Day

APOD: Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS over California
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/CometA3_Fulda_960.jpg
The tails of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS were a sight to behold. Pictured, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) was captured near peak impressiveness last week over the Eastern Sierra Mountains in California, USA.  The comet not only showed a bright tail, but a distinct anti-tail pointing in nearly the opposite direction. The globular star cluster M5 can be seen on the right, far in the distance.  As it approached, it was unclear if this crumbling iceberg would disintegrate completely as it warmed in the bright sunlight. In reality, the comet survived to become brighter than any star in the night (magnitude -4.9), but unfortunately was then so nearly in front of the Sun that it was hard for many casual observers to locate. Whether Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas becomes known as the Great Comet of 2024 now depends, in part, on how impressive incoming comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) becomes over the next two weeks.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – From left, Florida State Surgeon General John Armstrong, Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana, Center Operations Director Nancy Bray and Kennedy workers and guests prepare to take an early morning run along the center's Pathfinder Trail near the Operations and Support Building II at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, to officially kick off National Employee Health and Fitness Month with the NASA Moves! challenge.    NASA Moves! challenged the workforce from each of the agency's field centers to engage in at least 20 minutes of activity, or 10,000 steps, each day from May 18-31. About 100 people participated in the kickoff event on the Pathfinder Trail in the heart of the center's Launch Complex 39. The one-third-mile-long gravel walkway traces the iconic shape of a space shuttle orbiter and features a set of exercise stations. The friendly contest is part of NASA's new Health4Life initiative, a Web-based health initiative designed to help employees track their health, fitness and nutrition. Health4Life also provides an array of resources geared toward increasing physical activity. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis


Image of the Hour: Dark Matter in a Simulated Universe

Is our universe haunted?  It might look that way on this dark matter map.  The gravity of unseen dark matter is the leading explanation for why galaxies rotate so fast, why galaxies orbit clusters so fast, why gravitational lenses so strongly deflect light, and why visible matter is distributed as it is both in the local universe and on the cosmic microwave background.  The featured image from the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium Space Show Dark Universe highlights one example of how pervasive dark matter might haunt our universe.  In this frame from a detailed computer simulation, complex filaments of dark matter, shown in black, are strewn about the universe like spider webs, while the relatively rare clumps of familiar baryonic matter are colored orange. These simulations are good statistical matches to astronomical observations.  In what is perhaps a scarier turn of events, dark matter -- although quite strange and in an unknown form -- is no longer thought to be the strangest source of gravity in the universe. That honor now falls to dark energy, a more uniform source of repulsive gravity that seems to now dominate the expansion of the entire universe.    Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator
