From Space with Love
On July 2, Hubble Space Telescope posted this portrait of dying star Camelopardalis (U Cam for short) as it released a spherical shell of gas. U Cam is becoming increasingly unstable, and every few thousand years the red giant's core fuses and it expels stellar material in these eruptions. Although the star itself is small enough to fit into a single pixel of the photo, its brightness makes it appear much larger than it is.
This cosmic skyrocket is actually a geyser of hot gas from a newborn star that splashes against and ricochets off a cloud core composed of molecular hydrogen. Known as Herbig-Haro 110 and spotted in the constellation Orion, the geyser is located some 1,300 light years from Earth. Hubble Space Telescope captured the image and NASA released it July 3.
On Sept. 3, NASA released a sparkling picture of the center of globular cluster M 4. The cluster contains tens of thousands of stars including many white dwarfs, which are the cores of ancient dying stars. Also in M 4 is a planet called PSR B1620-36 b, which is 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter and 13 billion years old -- three times the age of our Solar System.
The ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile released this image of a bright feather-like cloud of glowing gas on Sept. 12. Called the Pencil Nebula, this streak of vibrant red and blue is part of a ring of wreckage resulting from a supernova explosion that occurred 11,000 years ago.
Located 650 light years from Earth, the Helix nebula is the cosmic remains of a dying star. In this combined image released Oct. 3 from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, the star's dusty outer layers glow from ultraviolet radiation being pumped out by its stellar core.
This cloud of gas, formally called Sharpless 2-292, is part of a stellar nursery nicknamed the Seagull Nebula. It glows brightly due to the energetic radiation from a very hot young star lurking at its center. ESO's La Silla Observatory released the image on Sept. 26.
Astronomers using a telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert have discovered an unexpected spiral structure in the material around dying red giant R Sculptoris. The spiral -- visible around the bright dot at the center of the image -- is likely caused by a hidden companion star orbiting R Sculptoris.

The staggering beauty of cloud formations.
What are clouds? Many millions of little drops of water or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body, and held in place around it by gravity, like interstellar clouds and nebulae in space. On Earth they are normally made up of water vapour. Dense clouds reflect 70% to 95% of the visible range of wavelengths, which is why they appear to be white, at least from the top.
So-called ‘Jellyfish’ clouds form at around 17,000 ft up in the atmosphere, due to the rush of moist air coming from the Gulf Stream getting trapped between layers of dry air. The top of the cloud rises into a jellyfish shape and long tentacles known as “trailing virga” form from rain drops that have evaporated. These are amazing to see.
Roll clouds occur during similar weather patterns as Shelf clouds. Cool air sinking from a storm cloud’s downdraft spreads out with the leading edge called a gust front. This outflow undercuts warm air being drawn into the updraft, and as cool air lifts the warm water condenses creating cloud which often rolls in harmony with different winds blowing both above and below it.
Shelf clouds are low, horizontal wedge-shaped structures, associated with a thunderstorm gust front, or sometimes with a simple cold weather front. Shelf clouds are always attached to the base of the parent clouds above them.
Where stable moist air flows over a mountain or a range of mountains, a series of large-scale standing waves may form on the downwind side. Lenticular clouds sometimes form at the crests of these waves.
Nacreous are extremely rare and referred to as mother-of-pearl clouds. They form 9 -16 miles up in the stratosphere, well above tropospheric clouds. These structures shine brightly in high altitude sunlight up to two hours after ground level sunset or before dawn. The incredible spectacle of the bright iridescent colours relative to any clouds below them make these cloud formations truly an unforgettable sight.
Mammatus clouds are pouch-like structures and a rare example of cloud formations in sinking air. Though they can seem very threatening, these clouds are not harbingers od severe weather to come. In fact, this type of cloud formation is most often seen after a storm has passed over.
Mushroom clouds form as a result of the sudden formation of a large mass of hot low-density gases near the ground creating what is called a ‘Rayleigh-Taylor instability’. The rapidly rising volumes of gas result in a kind of whirlpool effect, drawing up a column of additional smoke and debris in the centre to form its “stem”. These clouds form normally through volcanic eruptions or impact events. The cloud reaches an altitude where it stops being more dense than the surrounding air and disperses, the central debris scattering and drifting back down to the ground. Chances are that you may never see every incredible variant of cloud formations in your lifetime, but how reassuring to know that nature can always prove to be far more artistic and imaginative than we ever could.

This outflow undercuts warm air being drawn into the updraft, and as cool air lifts the warm water condenses creating cloud which often rolls in harmony with different winds blowing both above and below it.
Water droplets within clouds scatter light efficiently, so that levels of solar radiation decrease as it descends through the cloud cover depth, leading to the sometimes dark appearance at the base of the clouds. Thin clouds can seem to have acquired the color of their background and when illuminated by non-white light, such as sunrise or sunset, can seem multi-coloured. They can take some awesomely attractive shapes, as the picture demonstrate.Yellowstone Morning Glory Pool
The original name of the Morning Glory Pool was Convolutus. It was given that title in 1883 by the wife of an assistant park superintendent, after the Latin word for the morning glory flower, which the pool’s blue color resembles. Recently, however, the pool has started to go by another name “Fading Glory.”
The delicate blue water is created by thermophilic bacteria, which thrive in the pool’s searing heat. Long a major tourist stop in Yellowstone National Park, the Morning Glory Pool suffers from inconsiderate visitors who have thrown coins, bottles, and trash into the pool for over a century. The trash has slowly built up and blocked some of the thermal vents and reduced the heat of the pool, allowing other bacteria to begin working their way in at the edges, creating a red and yellow ring around the pure blue center. While this rainbow hue is indeed beautiful, it is a fragile beauty, as the invasive yellow bacteria continues to close in.

The Hidden Beauty of Pollination
Award-winning cinematographer, director and producer Louie Schwartzberg has spent over 35 years capturing the hidden life of flowers and their pollinators which have co-evolved over 50 million years. In this TED talk, he shows a clip of the "Wings of Life" - bees, bats, hummingbirds and butterflies - that humans depend on for over a third of our food; a fascinating intersection between the animal and plant worlds.

The numbers video… So amazing— should be shown to every school age child… A picture is worth a 1000 words!
Standing ovation for the producers!!!
Kathryn Hughes Kelson
the photos taken from nature (torres del Paine and so on)are just pure paradise…and I think probably,the camera sees more than what the naked eye can see…
Hi there to every one, the contents existing at this web site are genuinely awesome
