Voyager 1's 'Pale Blue Dot'



Taken 14 February 1990 at a distance of 6.4 billion km (40.5 AU). Earth is barely visible at center right in a light beam from our Sun.

Carl Sagan said this about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader', every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there -- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

The Andromeda galaxy, or M31, was formerly known as the Andromeda nebula until the 1920s when astronomers such as Edwin Hubble with improved-resolution telescopes determined it was an entire galaxy outside of our own Milky Way.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field



Quote:
This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colours. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies--the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals--thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old.

. . I find it impressive and interesting how so much 'stuff out there' , i. e. heavely bodies are named after antique deities . . i. e. Mars , Neptune , the Pleiades etc . .

It already started during the Renaissance when certain heavenly bodies caught the attention of the then-astonomers . .

The Renaissance drew hard on ancient antique thought.

As it's commonly called , the re-birth of antique mind . .



. . so , no wonder many heavenly bodies which caught the attention back then were named after antique figures . . and have that name to this day . .


The original Mars . .


The original Pleiades . .

Since already during the Middle Ages Latin was the language of the educated , no wonder many expressions until this day from 'science-jargon' originate in Latin . . sometimes Greek too.

The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn got their names in ancient times, not during the Renaissance.

In The Dream of Scipio, Cicero wrote about the planets to an audience who would be expected to know them, as they had been know for centuries.
Quote:
See! the universe is linked together in nine circles or rather spheres; one of which is that of the heavens, the outermost of all, which embraces all the other spheres, the supreme deity, which keeps in and holds together all the others; and to this are attached those everlasting orbits of the stars. Beneath this there lie seven, which turn backwards with a counter revolution to the heavens; and of these spheres that star holds one, which men on earth call Saturn's star.

Next is that bright radiance, rich in hope and healing for the sons of men, which is called Jove's star; then one fiery red and dreaded by the world, which you call Mars; next lower down the sun holds nearly the middle region, the leader, chief and ruler of the other lights, the mind and ordering spirit of the universe, of such magnitude that he illumines the whole and fills it with his light. With him Venus and Mercury keep pace as satellites in their successive spheres; and in the lowest zone of all the moon revolves lighted up by the rays of the sun.

Black Holes actually redistribute physical matter into a gaseous state and then the gas creates more stars planets etc. There are Super Massive Black Holes the size of Galaxies. Think of them as a giant recycle mechanism for the Universe.

I thought that was M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, but it's a different one. The "exploding star" is probably a foreground star in our own Milky Way galaxy, which accounts for the brightness. It's extremely rare to photograph supernovae or exploding stars in the act.
