This video was created based on photographs taken by Thomas Bresson in the department of Belfort, northeastern France. In the first 4 seconds of the video, artificial lines drawn in the sky highlight the constellation of Orion. Then a sequence of photographs starts to be shown at the 8 second mark, to show how the stars move in the night sky. Changes made to the original work: The original work has been greatly slowed down, and lines have been added at the start to highlight the constellation of Orion. Also, the aspect ratio has been altered slightly during the making of this video.

A colony of hot, young stars is stirring up the cosmic scene in this new picture from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The image shows the Orion nebula, a happening place where stars are born. The young stars dip and peak in brightness due to a variety of reasons. Shifting cold and hot spots on the stars' surfaces cause brightness levels to change, in addition to surrounding disks of lumpy planet -forming material, which can obstruct starlight. Spitzer is keeping tabs on the young stars, providing data on their changing ways. The hottest stars in the region, called the Trapezium cluster, are bright spots at centre right. Radiation and winds from those stars has sculpted and blown away surrounding dust . The densest parts of the cloud appear dark at centre left.

The Fairy of Eagle Nebula . Appearing like a winged fairy-tale creature poised on a pedestal, this object is actually a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 90 trillion kilometres high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star. Stars in the Eagle Nebula are born in clouds of cold hydrogen gas that reside in chaotic neighbourhoods, where energy from young stars sculpts fantasy-like landscapes in the gas. The tower may be a giant incubator for those newborn stars. A torrent of ultraviolet light from a band of massive, hot, young stars [off the top of the image] is eroding the pillar. The starlight also is responsible for illuminating the tower's rough surface. Ghostly streamers of gas can be seen boiling off this surface, creating the haze around the structure and highlighting its three-dimensional shape. The column is silhouetted against the background glow of more distant gas. The edge of the dark hydrogen cloud at the top of the tower is resisting erosion, in a manner similar to that of brush among a field of prairie grass that is being swept up by fire. The fire quickly burns the grass but slows down when it encounters the dense brush. In this celestial case, thick clouds of hydrogen gas and dust have survived longer than their surroundings in the face of a blast of ultraviolet light from the hot, young stars. Inside the gaseous tower, stars may be forming. Some of those stars may have been created by dense gas collapsing under gravity. Other stars may be forming due to pressure from gas that has been heated by the neighbouring hot stars. The first wave of stars may have started forming before the massive star cluster began venting its scorching light. The star birth may have begun when denser regions of cold gas within the tower started collapsing under their own weight to make stars. The bumps and fingers of material in the centre of the tower are examples of these stellar birthing areas. These regions may look small but they are roughly the size of our solar system. The fledgling stars continued to grow as they fed off the surrounding gas cloud. They abruptly stopped growing when light from the star cluster uncovered their gaseous cradles, separating them from their gas supply. Ironically, the young cluster's intense starlight may be inducing star formation in some regions of the tower. Examples can be seen in the large, glowing clumps and finger-shaped protrusions at the top of the structure. The stars may be heating the gas at the top of the tower and creating a shock front, as seen by the bright rim of material tracing the edge of the nebula at top, left. As the heated gas expands, it acts like a battering ram, pushing against the darker cold gas. The intense pressure compre

Hazel fell in love with astronomy and dedicated a song to it. Lyrics: First comes the sun that gives us light, Inside the core conditions are right To cause the proton-proton chain Where mass is lost and energy gained Now Mercury is rather small With craters covering it all, It had volcanoes long ago, But now activity is low Next Venus comes, about the size Of Earth, but this is just a guise, Its pressure and its atmosphere And temperature are cause to fear So Earth might be your better bet To live, for here our needs are met, We even have a decent moon That maybe we can live on soon Now Mars we know a lot about With rovers sent to check it out Spirit and Opportunity, More recently curiosity Past Mars the asteroids draw near Though really there's no need to fear, They're spaced so very far apart That hitting one would be quite an art Next Jupiter comes towering in, In size and mass it's sure to win, Its great red spot alone could fit Two earths or more inside of it Its moons are awesome, that's agreed, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, And could it be true That there's life on Europa too? We come to Saturn with its rings That really are quite breathtaking They've got some gaps in, mainly due To moons, you know there's quite a few There's Mimas and Enceladus, Pandora and Prometheus, The massive Titan dwarfs them all, Five thousand kilometres tall And now we come to Uranus, Who's got a really curious Rotation axis, not aligned With all the others, never mind! The last planet, but not the least, Compared to earth it's still a beast, It's Neptune, and its moon's quite neat, Its retrograde orbit's rather sweet Well now we come to poor pluto, The scientists have voted no, We had to draw the line somewhere, I'm sorry pluto, life's not fair But now you get to be the king Of the Plutinos under your wing And all the other KBOs, How many are there? No one knows But that's not all, much further out You'll see some comets strewn about, Sometimes the comets end up here Although the Oort cloud's far from near And that's the solar system's end From here you go alone my friend, The trip's a one-way trip you know, Send postcards home by radio

NASA's fleet of Earth-observing satellites constantly circle the globe, completing their orbits every 90 minutes. They give us invaluable information about everything from our weather and climate, to the way we use our land, to the air we breathe. This video highlights some of the newest satellites in the fleet, including the versatile Suomi National Polar-orbiting (NPP) satellite, a partnership between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Aquarius, which measures sea surface salinity and is a joint project between NASA and the Space Agency of Argentina. While many of the images are "true color" or photorealistic in nature, this video also includes data visualizations, which help scientists see data in useful new ways, and computer models, which help us understand interconnected Earth systems and make projections into the future. Curious about what images we used in this video? A full list can be found at www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/earthmonth/earth-from-orbit-2012.html

A student looks at the Orion Nebula through an Apertura CarbonStar 8" Ritchey–Chrétien telescope, mounted on a Sky-Watcher Wave 150i strain wave mount and carbon fiber tripod with pier extension, set up at Library Mall at UW-Madison for sidewalk astronomy. Visible inside the telescope are the secondary mirror and vanes, as well as baffles that reduce the effect of glare from nearby stars. The student is shielding her eyes to avoid glare from nearby lights and the photographic flash.
