We have not seen new close up views of the tiny planet for over 30 years, and new images reveal vast amounts of information about the geology of the celestial neighbor. Not since the 70s, when Mariner 10 gave us a view of Mercury, have scientists been so excited about new discoveries of the tiny world. Comment Here (0) Blue Moon of a different kind Posted by Brenda on January 20th, 2008 Recent tradition stipulates that a Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month. Those Moons are not really the colour blue, but a real blue Moon can be seen if the atmospheric conditions are right. One of the conditions to provide views of a real blue-coloured Moon is for the atmosphere to have large amounts of ash-sized pollutants floating in it to scatter light.

The Topic: Astronomy Easier - Astronomy is the study of things found in space such as the sun, planets, moons, and stars. Harder - Astronomy, one of the oldest sciences, is the study of celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and other objects in space. Astronomers locate objects in the daytime or nighttime skies and measure their magnitudes and motions, searching to find what they are made of and how they create their light.

Overview Welcome! Department History People Faculty ... Maps Affiliated Programs Yale Physics Dept. Active Research At Yale Gravitational Lensing by Galaxy Clusters Priyamvada Natarajan The presence of mass concentrations like massive galaxies or clusters causes light rays traveling from background sources (often galaxies or quasars) to be deflected, not unlike the bending effects caused by an optical lens. The amount of deflection produced is directly proportional to the `strength' of the lens, which is the mass in this case, as well as to the relative orientations of the lens and the object emitting the light. This HST image of the lensing cluster Abell 2218 (courtesy Kneib et al. 1996) at a redshift of 0.175 illustrates the dramatic `strong' lensing effects: arcs - the highly distorted structures that can be picked up by eye. Using the shapes of all the distorted background galaxies a high resolution mass map of this cluster has been constructed. Gravitational lensing provides incontrovertible evidence for the presence of copious amounts of dark matter in clusters of galaxies like this one. More January 29, 2008 - 2:00 pm
