... 2003 August 11 . Elements of the Swan Nebula . ... Explanation: In the depths of the dark clouds of dust and molecular gas known as M17 , stars continue to form. Also known as the Omega Nebula and Horseshoe Nebula, the darkness of M17's molecular clouds results from background starlight being absorbed by thick filaments of carbon-based smoke-sized dust . As bright massive stars form, they produce intense and energetic light that slowly boils away the dark shroud. ... About APOD | ...

... August 30, 1999 . Looking Back on an Eclipsed Earth . ... Explanation: Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. ... Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse - others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon . This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station , as Mir is being decommissioned after more than ten years of productive use. ...

What if we could determine if a given star is likely to host a planetary system like our own by breaking down its light into a single high-resolution spectrum and analyzing it? ... The dark bands result from specific chemical elements in the star s outer layer, like hydrogen or iron, absorbing specific frequencies of light. By carefully measuring the width of each dark band, astronomers can determine just how much hydrogen, iron, calcium, and other elements are present in a distant star. ...

... Content Model: %Body.Content . ... Note that the ID, LANG and CLASS attributes can be used with virtually all of the elements permitted in the document body. ... CLASS . ... The CLASS attribute is most commonly used to attach a different style to some element, but it is recommended that where practical class names should be picked on the basis of the element's semantics, as this will permit other uses, such as restricting search through documents by matching on element class names. ...

All stars derive their energy through the thermonuclear fusion of light elements in to heavy elements. High temperatures are required so that the mutual electrostatic repulsion of the protons in each fusing atomic nucleus is overcome. ... Elements with more protons in their nuclei require higher temperatures. ... This sequence is now shown in the animation below. ... First Step of the Proton-Proton Chain Narration . Second Step of the Proton-Proton Chain Narration . ...

... Bringing news from across the Universe to children all around the world . ... Yet, all of these things are made from the same stuff: chemical elements. ... In total, there are only 118 chemical elements. That means that everything in your room and everything that we can see on Earth is made up from different amounts of some of these chemical elements. ... There might be some extra chemical elements out there, but astronomers only know about 118 chemical elements so far. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...
