... STScI-PRC98-11A STARING INTO THE WINDS OF DESTRUCTION: HST/NICMOS IMAGES OF THE PLANETARY NEBULA NGC 7027 The Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has captured a glimpse of a brief stage in the burnout of NGC 7027, a medium-mass star like our sun. ... The material settles into a wind of gas and dust blowing away from the dying star. ... During this phase, intense ultraviolet radiation from the central star lights up a region of gas surrounding it. ...

We investigate the effects of dust on Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) H II region spectral energy distributions using arcminute-resolution far-ultraviolet (FUV), HЮБ, far-infrared (FIR), and radio images. Widely used indicators of the amount of light lost to dust (attenuation) at HЮБ and in the FUV correlate with each other, although often with substantial scatter. ...

... The Tarantula Nebula , also known as 30 Doradus and NGC 2070 , is a large region of ionized gas surrounding a collection of newly-forming stars at the eastern end of the stellar bar in the Large Magellanic Cloud (many similar regions are scattered through the LMC; see Kennicutt et al. ... The false-color image above is a log-scale display of a mosaic of several images taken with a CCD camera on the 0.6m Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in December 1994. ...

These images reveal light from a massive stellar outburst in the Carina Nebula reflecting off dust clouds surrounding a behemoth double-star system. The color image at left shows the Carina Nebula, a star-forming region located 7,500 light-years from Earth. The massive double-star system Eta Carinae resides near the top of the image. ... The three black-and-white images at right show light from the eruption illuminating dust clouds near the doomed star system as it moves through them. ...

Photon Scattering: Basic Principle of Photon Scattering . Audio Narration is available . No Scattering: Photon Source and Detector . ... For optical photons, scattering goes as wavelength to the -4 power. In the case of blue photons compared to red photons, this means that blue photons are about 10 times more likely to get scattered than red photons. ... Watch the blue photons scatter away from the detector . ... Interstellar dust make stars appear redder than they really are . ...
