... Credit Copyright: Markus Noller ( Deep-Sky-Images ) Explanation: Why is the sky near Antares and Rho Ophiuchi so colorful? ... Antares , a red supergiant and one of the brighter stars in the night sky , lights up the yellow-red clouds on the lower center of the featured image . Rho Ophiuchi lies at the center of the blue nebula on the left. ... These star clouds are even more colorful than humans can see, emitting light across the electromagnetic spectrum . ...

Featured here is a star forming region rich in glowing gas and dark dust toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus), near the bright star Sadr. ... Toward the right of the image is Barnard 344, a dark and twisted dust cloud rich in cool molecular gas. ... While the glowing red gas is indicative of small emission nebulas , the blue tinted areas are reflection nebulas -- starlight reflecting from usually dark dust grains. ... About APOD | ...

On the Metallicity-Color Relations and Bimodal Color Distributions in Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems by M. Cantiello and J. P. Blakeslee . Many observations on globular cluster systems (GCS) show bimodal distributions in color and metallicity space. ... Based on their simulation study, (V-H) and (V-K) are confirmed to be good colors for revealing unbiased bimodal metallicity distributions in GCS. ...

... MATERIAL: astronomical data visualization software like ds9 , IRAF, and the two galaxy images in the V-band and I-band . ... You received images in the V and I-band of an unknown, partially resolved Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxy. Your task is to generate a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of this stellar system, find out what kind of stellar population it is made of (old, young?) and estimate its distance from the sun using well-known features identified in the CMD. ...

We present IRAC and MIPS images and photometry of a sample of previously known planetary nebulae (PNe) from the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) performed with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Of the 233 known PNe in the survey field, 185 objects were detected in at least two of the IRAC bands, and 161 detected in the MIPS 24 ЮМm images. ... We also explore the potential value of IR PNe luminosity functions (LFs) in the LMC. ...

... STScI-PRC99-44 HUBBLE TELESCOPE REVEALS SWARM OF GLITTERING STARS IN NEARBY GALAXY NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has peered at a small area within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to provide the deepest color picture ever obtained in that satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. Over 10,000 stars can be seen in the photo, covering a region in the LMC about 130 light-years wide. ... The range of star colors visible in the WFPC2 image reveals the variety of stellar surface temperatures. ...

... High-velocity clouds (HVCs) were discovered by Muller, Oort & Raimond (1963) in the 21-cm line emission of neutral, atomic hydrogen. They are gas clouds which are characterised by high radial velocities incompatible with a participation in the rotation of our Galaxy. ... This suggestion was seized by Braun & Burton (1999) who identified 66 compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) with positional and kinematic characteristics being compatible with a distribution across the entire Local Group. ...

The Milky WayтАЩs near neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), has accreted a smattering of stars from its smaller neighbor, the Small Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In this image, the LMC is shown as it appears in observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope at 3.6, 8.0, and 24 microns. Overlaid in red and blue, with colors representing the light of sight velocities (red = away, blue = towards) are the locations of stars whose origin has been traced to the SMC. ...
