Hubblecast 01: The Comet Galaxy

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 12:20:17 +0000

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster’s gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years. Read more on:

Little virtual observatory – trying out Cartes du Ciel software (animation)

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:23:34 +0000

Please don’t be harsh – I just started using the program Im not too familiar . WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY it makes a difference – I had to convert it, Ithe original file was 1GB so it lost some quality + YT lowered the quality (as usual)
But I wanted to show you this program people – Cartes du Ciel – it’s very nice, very interesting – beside exploring stars and constellations you can make animation videos in it – and it’s freeware! There are additional databases to download with various maps. Enjoy.

Sky Map Fail

admin — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:18:27 +0000

This is what happens when you stay awake for 30+ hours and then try to do a video demo of an Android Application. I later redid this… but I thought it would be enertaining to pick on myself a little bit. It was a rather stupid sequence of events and hopefully you’ll enjoy this “Blooper” version of my Google Sky Map for Android Review.
