Nasa sky-map data's stellar spectacular

Awesome stuff, some of the most beautiful things you could ever see are out in space, new pictures are always exciting.



Here's the gallery, and this is the Multimedia gallery for you technical people, you can select an object, download it, and save it, of course you need to know where the object is (Right Ascension and Declination)and these are in different filters (red, blue,green,)you can view them combined or separately, but you can't view in the all four band mode, but hey it is good enough!

Nasa has released a trove of data from its sky-mapping mission, allowing scientists and anyone with internet access to peruse millions of galaxies, stars, asteroids and other hard-to-see objects.

Many of the targets in the celestial catalogue released online this week have been previously observed, but there are significant new discoveries. The mission’s finds include more than 33,000 new asteroids floating between Mars and Jupiter and 20 comets.

Nasa launched the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, which carried an infrared telescope, in December 2009 to scan the cosmos in finer detail than previous missions. The spacecraft, known as WISE, mapped the sky one and a half times during its 14-month mission, snapping more than 2.5 million images from its polar orbit.

The spacecraft’s ability to detect heat glow helps it find dusty, cold and distant objects that are often invisible to regular telescopes.

The batch of images made available represents a little over half of what has been observed in the all-sky survey. The full cosmic census is due for release next spring.

Goce satellite views Earth's gravity in high definition

Photographing Gravity ?
Supposedly this will help Climatologists in their evaluation of Global warming , Al Gore will be all over this one , If he has some time out of his Busy Massage Schedule !



BBC
It is one of the most exquisite views we have ever had of the Earth.

This colourful new map traces the subtle but all pervasive influence the pull of gravity has across the globe.

Known as a geoid, it essentially defines where the level surface is on our planet; it tells us which way is "up" and which way is "down".

It is drawn from delicate measurements made by Europe's Goce satellite, which flies so low it comes perilously close to falling out of the sky.

Scientists say the data gathered by the spacecraft will have numerous applications.

One key beneficiary will be climate studies because the geoid can help researchers understand better how the great mass of ocean water is moving heat around the world.

Did Boobquake actually cause an earthquake?


Any red blooded male would have heard of Boobquake, women going topless in order to prove a crazy imam that scantily dressed women don't cause earthquakes. Boobquake was held this past Monday and coincidentally there was an earthquake near Taiwan.

Now clearly one trial doesn't prove or disprove a hypothesis. So, I think they should hold boobquake a few more times just to be sure.
