Check out this time lapse video of the ALMA Array Operations Site, with its powerful radio telescopes pointing at the sky. But the real stuff happens in the sky, as the Milkyway Galaxy is seen sailing across the night sky. The ALMA Array Operations Site is still under construction and will be completed next year, ...
Everyone’s attention is on the upcoming release of Sony’s camcorder with interchangeable lens. But Brando seems to have one already with this digital video camcorder with telescope available via their store. Of course, this camera is not as appealing as the upcoming Sony camcorders. This video camcorder with telescope retails for only $99 and comes ...
Now here's a shocker from out of nowhere--Pluto, that planet that was formerly a planet but is now merely just a dwarf planet, is apparently changing color. Sure, it may look like a yellow-orange speck out in the distance to us, and with a whole lot of gray shot through it besides, but according to researchers ...
You might not believe the idea that if you fire infrared light into space, it manages to make things at least temporarily visible that weren't before. Thus, a three hundred and twenty million dollar infrared camera is going into orbit to get infrared pictures of celestial neighbors we didn't even really know we had. I know, ...
I know, sounds like a bad joke, doesn't it? But there are several central points of that post that make a whole lot of sense: 1. There really is a place called Tongue River 2. It has an elementary school 3. It will be playing host to a massive telescope array It's going to be part of a telescope ...
Okay, if you're anything like me you love a good meteor shower. It's an incredible sight as giant rocks fall through the atmosphere and burn up on contact. And last night, there was a really great one called the Orionid Meteor Shower that was visible throughout much of the planet, assuming you didn't have any ...
Now here's a quick dose of awesome for you this morning, folks: apparently, the Hubble Telescope, that former laughingstock turned invaluable contribution to science forever, caught the LCROSS...bombing? Landing? What WOULD you call it, exactly? Well, anyway, the Hubble caught it, and apparently it even managed to generate a pic or two. Sadly, we don't actually ...
Oh, sure, you think you've got a pretty awesome camera. You think you've got the top of the line, twelve megapixel, turning out images of fantastic clarity. But you haven't seen ANYTHING yet--the most sensitive astronomical camera even has been developed and released, and the first unit so far has been sold. But you won't believe ...
Over the years--decades now--that we've been out in space, we've left a lot of random bits and pieces and detritus floating in orbit. Today, we've got a picture of the earth, WITH the junk in the shot. The pic comes to us by way of the European Space Agency, and gives you a visual representation of the ...
The word is in, folks, and the unsettlingly ambitious Planck space telescope from the European Space Agency has started returning images. Sadly, those images aren't being released to the public yet, but word is that they're extremely impressive. The European version of the Hubble was recently launched on the same rocket as the Henschel space telescope, ...
