Search Results For: Astronomy/Space Title: Refractor Telescope Contact: David Fierstein Description: An illustration of Chabot Science Center's refracting telescope "Rachel" Title: Nano Satellite Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: Made for the NASA Goddard ST-5 project. The image depicts a hypothetical future mission to study the Earth's magnetosphere using a large number of very small spacecraft using nano technology for construction and self-directed swarming behaviors to carry out the mission. Title: WMAP Spacecraft Flyby Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) orbits around the L2 Lagrange point, one million miles beyond Earth. The sun shield/solar panels will always protect it from the radiation generated by the Sun. (H.264 encoded QT) Title: Cassini and Titan Contact: David Fierstein Description: Illustration of the Cassini spacecraft approaching Saturn's moon Titan and dropping off a probe. Title: WMAP Spacecraft Portrait Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: WMAP studies Cosmic Microwave Radiation for NASA Title: Bombardment of the Early Earth / Exogenesis Contact: Dr Jon Heras Description: A young Earth being bombarded with multiple comets in a solar system which was hostile to life. The comets bring minerals and organic compounds, which are essential building blocks for the development of life. The exogenesis theory (also called panspermia) sugests that extraterrestrial life may have hitched a ride on such a comet or meteorite, rather than developing independently here on Earth. Title: Earth Orbit Contact: Melisa Beveridge Description: This image was created for a T-shirt design that explains how light and warm it is on Earth during its orbit around the Sun. Photoshop and Illustrator were used for this project Title: Antarctica and Australia from Space Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: This image of Antarctica, Australia and New Zealand was created using satellite data images from NASA Goddard's Blue Marble image series. Title: Vulcanoid Asteroid Contact: Dr Jon Heras Description: Computer artwork of a vulcanoid asteroid, which is a hypothetical group of asteroids which may orbit the Sun inside the orbit of Mercury, with a gravitationally stable orbit between 0.08 and 0.21 astronomical units (AU). Confirmation or dismissal of this theory has been difficult due to their proximity to the Sun, the Sun's glare, and the relatively poor exploration of the near-solar region. The intense heat would have evaporated much of the material, leaving concentrated deposits of metals such as iron, nickel and gold - and so would be of interest for commercial space mining. Title: Gravity Well Detection Tests Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: Illustration for an article by Dr. Charles Bennett on Einstein's Legacy for the magazine Science, vol 307 11 February 2005. Time and space are affected by mass. This hypothesis of Einstein's theory of general relativity can be tested and confirmed through physical observation. In this illustration; 1- light loses energy as it climbs the gravitational potential, undergoing a red shift (right). 2- the light path of a distant star is deflected as it passes near the sun (left). 3- the perihelion of the orbit of Mercury (blue path) is slightly altered. Title: Timeline of the Universe Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: A representation of the evolution of our universe from the beginning- 13.7 billion years ago. Created for the release of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data analysis from March 2006. The main point of interest is that they have been able to define the characteristics of the light polarize by the creation of the early stars and then eliminate its contamination of the data they use to study the light emitted by the Surface of Last Scattering (Afterglow Light Pattern), 379,000 years after the Big Bang.. This will allow them to better understand the parameters that controlled the earliest moments of the creation of the universe which we can't see directly, only a few trillionths of a second after the creation (called "Inflation"). Title: Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe Heading toward L2. This is a digital image created in photoshop showing the WMAP mission as it appeared soon after launch in June 2001. This image may be distributed only with the permission of the NASA / WMAP ScienceTeam.. Title: Solar Prominence in H-Alpha bandwidth Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Solar Prominence viewed in the Hydrogen-Alpha wave length. This narrow bandwidth of 6562.8 Angstroms allows a visual view of solar activity which is normally blocked by the sun's photosphere. The sun's surface is not visible with white light observation. Restricting the wavelengh to the hydrogen-alpha range of 6562.8 Angstroms, one can see the surface of the sun. The bright areas cause solar eruptions or mass solar eruptions. They can cause electrical black outs on earth and play havoc with satellite and radio communications. The prominence at the edge of the sun is several times larger than the earth. The dark line is called a filament, a cool area on the surface of the sun. Black and White digital image enhanced through color filtration. Title: Milky Way Contact: Diana Marques Description: This illustration was commissioned to be in an important and extensive museum exhibition on the origins of the universe and life as we know it. Title: Colliding Bubble Universe Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: Created for Science News Magazine, this illustration shows the possibility of two universes (potentially our own) colliding. Some theorize that universes exist as bubbles, and many exist beyond our own. Title: Antarctica from Space Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: This image of Antarctica was composited and enhanced in Photoshop from 4 separate satellite data images. This view is not possible to see optically from orbiting spacecraft because of the angle and height this image is rendered to represent. It is a unique view of the most remote continent on Earth. Originally used in a National Geographic Children's Atlas. Title: Early Mars with Oceans 3,800 mya Contact: Michael Rothman Description: This is an image of what the surface of Mars might have looked like between 4.0 and 3.8 billion years ago. Geothermal activity, vulcanism, and ice covered oceans may have been present at that time. The image appeared in the book "The Mystery of Mars", ISBN 0-51770971-6. Title: Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX (GEMS) Contact: Theophilus Britt Griswold Description: The Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX (GEMS) Mission will use an X-ray telescope to track the flow of highly magnetized matter into supermassive black holes. Created using Strata CX 3D Pro. Title: Hubble Contact: Steven Melendrez Description: Hubble telescope in motion. Title: Venus transit across the sun Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Transits of the planet Venus across the face of our sun occur roughly every 220 years. The last transit was in 1882. This is a view of Venus at mid-point in its journey across the sun. Taken from Venice, Italy with a solar blocking filter which blocks 99.1% of the visibile light. Transits are used to determine the distance to the sun from the earth. Title: Global Warming and the Ocean Contact: Taina Litwak Description: Water's ability to absorb heat helps protect the earth from wld temperature swings from day to night and summer to winter. Its high heat capacity means that you can add a lote of heat to water and the temperature will only go up a little bit. But as the composition of the atmosphere changes and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, the temperature of the oceans will also slowly rise. Title: The Professor Contact: Denise Wagner Description: Poser creation of an Alien Title: Isotope Formation from Stars to Geology Tool Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: This epic illustration ultimately describes how calcium isotopes are used as a geological tool to 'fingerprint' different ecosystems and environments. The illustration starts out showing how elements and ultimately isotopes are created, and dispersed through the Earth. Created digitally for Dr. Jacobson at Northwestern University. Title: An Evolving Star Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: The gravity from this star's huge mass caused the hydrogen to convert into helium. When the helium "ash" became dense enough and hot enough, it ignited and sequentially formed carbon, nitrogen and oxygen; silicon; and magnesium and neon. Finally, at the very center, there was a core of iron nuclei, and the star essentially ran out of fuel. The star collapsed into a blackhole, and the resulting release of energy quickly tore the star apart, turning it into a supernova. Title: Solar prominances, total solar eclipse Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Solar prominances visible during totality of the total solar eclipse of June 21, 2001. Karibe, Zimbabwe. 35mm Ektachrome transparancy Title: Lunar eclipse Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Total lunar eclipse, North America, January 2000. 35mm Ektachrome transparancy. Title: happy Go Lucky Alien Contact: Denise Wagner Description: A Poser creation of a Happy Alien Title: Comet Ikeya-Zhang Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Comet Ikeya-Zhang, periodic Comet. April, 2002, Mt. Figueroa, California. Digital image as it made its closest approach to earth. Published in Astronomy Magazine, June, 2003. Title: Sun Spots Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Ektachrome image of a sunspot series developing across the sun. Sunspots are found near intense magnetic fields visible in the photosphere. The dark central portion of the spot is known as the umbra and the surround ligher rim is know as the prenumbra. The sun rotates in about 27 days, with spots constantly moving and changing. Title: Solar sun spot Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Solar sun spot detail. Digital image. Title: Hypercube / Tesseract Contact: Dr Jon Heras Description: view of a hypercube (tesseract), which is a 4-dimensional (4D) cube intersecting with 3-dimensional (3D) space. Title: Full Moon Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Earth's moon at full phase. Title: Life Beginning from Meteors Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: Some scientists theorize that the organic molecules which make up life were brought to earth in the center of meteorites. These meteorites crashed to earth, and combined to form the beginning of life. Shown here are some of the first molecules to form the outer membranes of cells. Digitally rendered. Title: Comet Hale-Bopp Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Comet Hale-Bopp returning to the solar system after a 4000 years journey into deep space. The two color streamers show how sun's energy ionizes and breaks down some of the comet's components. Title: Comet Hale-Bopp and the Pleiades Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Comet Hale-Bopp approaching the star cluster known as the Pleiades during a full moon. Title: Mercury molten core Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: Title: Sun Spot Maxium Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Sunspot activity across the surface of the sun. Each sunspot is larger than the earth's diameter. The sun's diameter is 100 times that of the earth's diameter. Title: Star Trails Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: Star trails around Polaris, the North Star. This 40 minute exposure illustrates how the earth rotates about the polar axis. The streaks are meteors which have have been captured on film. The variation in star color illustrates the temperatures of various stars. Title: Surface of the Sun in H-Alpha light Contact: Anthony Galvan III Description: The sun's surface is not visible with white light observation. Restricting the wavelengh to the hydrogen-alpha range of 6562.8 Angstroms, one can see the surface of the sun. This image shows sunspots and plages (beaches) on the surface of the sun where cooler regions (sunspots - light areas) are surrounded by much hotter areas. The bright areas cause solar eruptions or mass solar eruptions. They can cause electrical black outs on earth and play havoc with satellite and radio communications. When a solar eruption occurs the aurora borealis in the polar regions will be come active. Title: Dark Matter Surrounding Galaxy Contact: Nicolle Rager Fuller Description: This illustration demonstrates the halo of 'dark matter' surrounding our galaxy. Dark matter is invisible to current methods of observation, but scientists know it exists because our galaxies gravitational pull is far too strong to be accounted for by the visible matter's mass. It is predicted that dark matter extends 10 times past the visible stars of the galaxy.
