Shedding Light on Dark Matter with Hubble
Eduardo Vitral, Space Telescope Science Institute
Dark matter plays an elusive role in the universe, especially in its gravitational influence within dwarf galaxies. Despite being invisible, dark matter's presence can be inferred through its gravitational effects on galactic structures and the motions of stars. Traditional observational techniques have provided only partial insights into these effects, leading to debates that question the details of how dark matter is distributed within galaxies.
Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has enriched our understanding by allowing for the measurement of stars' movements in three dimensions. This analysis offers refined evidence to support current theories of dark matter distribution, and contributes meaningfully to the ongoing dialogue between theoretical predictions and empirical observations. Dr. Vitral will detail how these advancements in observation techniques have improved our understanding of dark matter's nature, marking a significant step forward in the study of our universe.

A Tour of Messier 76
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
In celebration of the 34th anniversary of the launch of NASA's legendary Hubble Space Telescope on April 24, 1990, astronomers took a snapshot of the Little Dumbbell Nebula. Also known as Messier 76, M76, or NGC 650/651, it is composed of a ring, seen edge-on as the central bar structure, and two lobes on either opening of the ring. Explore Messier 76 in this video tour.

The Enigmatic World of Brown Dwarfs: Failed Stars or Errant Planets?
Переглядів 2,5 тис.5 місяців тому
Elena Manjavacas, Space Telescope Science Institute During their formation, brown dwarfs did not manage to accrue enough mass to ignite hydrogen fusion, and hence, they are not stars. In addition, they generally do not orbit a star, making them also not planets. Existing in the gap between planets and stars, brown dwarfs can be curious beasts. Some have very low mass, down to the range of some ...

    Не случится столкновения, потому что оно рассчитано компъютером на принципах притяжения тел, а реально они приталкиваются вселенским полем и любая галактика может изменить вектор полета, если давление поля вселенной векторно изменится. Другими словами мы не притягиваемся, а приталкиваемся полями других тел во вселенной и не факт, что друг к другу.

    Primordial matter was almost all hydrogen and helium. Our solar system was formed from "blown up stars" (only a bit of a simplification) and the matter from the fusion in those stars. Nebula consist of lots of H and less of, but still lots of, other elements. They're formed (roughly) from colliding ejecta from the older stars. So, there will be currents. That is, not necessarily spherical. BUT. Even a spherical distribution of gravitationally bound interacting (colliding) particles with completely random velocities will evolve into a disk. (The symmetry is broken in a statistically random direction (around the center).) Why? Well, think of a crowd. Is it easier (i.e lower energy) for each individual to move randomly, or will it be (lots!) easier for the crowd to settle on a single direction and move together? Similar logic applies to particles (as long as other directions are penalized - like by being more likely to crash into one-another.) BTW, awful introduction in video. I never had a lecturer that stood up in class and read the textbook, but I have had the unfortunate experience of sitting thru presentations in which the speaker just repeated, verbatim, the Power Point slides' text. In the first couple of minutes we learn what? That the September talk doesn't yet have a title? ?? Really? Yeah, definitely critical to put that up front rather than at the end.(/sarc) Anyway, I can't complain too much because I stopped watching at that point. MC didn't even tell us what the current lecture was about!

    Why "Newborn stars are surrounded by disks of gas and dust", not a sphere of dust given the presumed randomness of the primordial matter?

    In relation to repairing Hubble, my opinion, they should take one of the shuttles out of retirement for one last mission. Any of the three has the capabilities of what Hubble needs to be repaired. If NASA wants to keep Hubble in operation, then this would be the step to take.

    There's only one error in this video: if an observer flies this fast and far they should see the nebulas and stars relative shape and position change. We see the sky objects back in time, and if we come closer, we should see them change.
