APOD 2.6

On December 10th, a total solar eclipse occured. Many pictures were taken before and after the solar eclipse. This picture was taken over Shanti Stupa Peace Pagoda in New Delhi, India. The moon was tinted red, which was created by the sunlight first passing through the Earth's atmosphere which scatters blue light but refracts red light. Each eclipse has its own appearance as there are different amounts of dust particles in the air.

APOD 2.5

The sun is getting more active every year. This will result in the auroras to be brighter and more astonishing. The aurora over Norway was one of the most memorable of the season. There were visible mixtures of red and green lights and some stars are seen in the background. There is also and auroral corona, rays and distant curtains.

APOD 2.4

ALMA (Atacama larger milimeter array) is located on the chilean andes on the chajnantor plateau where the atmosphere is extremely dry and 50% sea level pressure. It is designed to explore the universe at wavelengths of 1000 times longer than visible light. It is the largest astronomical project in existence and is a partnership between North America, Europe and Asia. the meteors streak covers the night.

APOD 2.3

This image shows a chromatic bow being created in Iceland. In this pic there is a waterfall, chromatic bow, and an aurora. In the sky the Big Dipper can be seen which is part of Ursa Major.  It is not a rainbow since the water is from the waterfall and not from rain. The water is being illuminated by the nearly full moon.

APOD 2.2

Nanmen Asterism might be the first supernova ever recorded in history which was spotted in 185AD by chinese explorers. This picture is showing the gas created by the expanding explosion. This supernova is 8200 light years away and is about 50 light years in radius. This certain type of supernova can destroy anything in its pass including dwarf stars and zombies. This supernova also accreates space debris from its binary star companion- CHAIT

APOD 2.1

This picture shows are pretty clear astronomical object called Cepheus Flare, which contains several star forming regions. It is located in the northern Milky Way, and in the constellation Cepheus. This molecular clous is located 1,200 light years away. this system is crumbling apart and is similar in its stage as a binary star in its infancy. THIS CLOUD IS SO CHAIT like 10-20

APOD 1.8

Comet Garrad is now visible in Earth's night sky with the help of a small telescope or a pair of binoculars. A close observation and surveilance of this celestial object is extremely easy with these tools because it is barely below naked eye visibility. Pictures from past days show how this comet leaves a trail of a nice green color behind. This comet is now in the constellation Hercules. This relatively big comet will never come into close contact to Earth of the sun. Nasa chose a great picture for a graceful and awesome date. October 20
