Instagram favs - "Cats eye" - all-sky view of the Milky Way's eye over ESO Paranal observatory πŸ˜€This is a 360 panorama of one of the best night skies in the world. Stripe of Zodiacal light spans across the sky with very bright Venus in the middle. Domes of 8-m ESO VLT telescopes are visible in the lower part of the image. The greenish color is due to airglow emission of the atmosphere. We do live in a spiral galaxy (edge on view) ! #Chile #milkyway #special_shots #hot_shotz #natgeospace #nightsky #night #nighttime #discoversouthamerica #astrophotography #apod #stargazing #longexpoelite #universetoday #travel #earthpix #awesome_earthpix #discoverearth #awesomeearth #thebest_capture #wonderful_places #travel_captures #instagood #instacool #amazing_longexpo #longexpoelite #SpaceAttraction #nightphotography #nightscaper #ig_astrophotography @earthpics @nightphotography @nightphotography_exclusive @natgeo

Instagram favs - Solar Storms Ignite X-ray "Northern Lights" on Jupiter: Solar storms are triggering X-ray auroras on Jupiter that are about eight times brighter than normal over a large area of the planet and hundreds of times more energetic than Earth's "northern lights," according to a new study using data from our Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result is the first time that Jupiter's auroras have been studied in X-ray light when a giant solar storm arrived at the planet. The image show Jupiter and its aurora in October 2011. X-ray data from Chandra (purple) have been overlaid on an optical image from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Instagram favs - photos by @joelsartore | The #PhotoArk is an extensive collection of studio portraits documenting nearly 6,000 species so far. The Ark's mission is to showcase the beauty of Earth's biodiversity, and to inspire us to care before these animals disappear forever. April's issue of National Geographic features 10 different covers photos of Ark animals, a first in the publication's history. The story is available in print on March 29 and you can read it online now. The Ark was also featured on the Today Show this morning. Here are the links to the story and the clip: http://on.today.com/1TLbZz3 and http://ift.tt/1V9tEAb

Instagram favs - This is what geologists call ‘bladed’ terrain in a region known as Tartarus Dorsa, located in the rough highlands on the eastern side of Tombaugh Region on Pluto. A moment’s study reveals surface features that appear to be texturally ‘snakeskin’-like, owing to their north-south oriented scaly raised relief. A digital elevation model created by the New Horizons’ geology shows that these bladed structures have typical relief of about 550 yards (500 meters). Their relative spacing of about 3-5 kilometers makes them some of the steepest features seen on Pluto. Spectroscopic measurements of this region made by New Horizons’ Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) instrument show that this region of Pluto’s surface has a predominance of methane (CH4)—with a smattering of water as well. Naturally, one then would ask, “Can pure methane ice support such steep structures under Pluto’s gravity and surface temperature conditions over geologic time?” The answer is a meek “maybe.” To date, there are only two known published studies examining the rheological properties (i.e., how much a material deforms when stresses are applied to it) of methane ice in the extreme temperature range of Pluto—a bitterly cold -300 to -400 degrees Fahrenheit. According to one study, the answer is a definite ‘no,’ because methane ice of those dimensions would flatten out in a matter of decades. Yet in another study, methane ice may maintain such a steepened structure if the individual CH4 ice grains constituting the collective ice are large enough. Which study is right? Or is there a way to reconcile them? This is something we simply do not know at the moment. #NASA #newhorizons

Instagram favs - Photograph by @thomaspeschak Aerial photography is one of my passions, I love to hang out (tied into a safety harness) of helicopters and document the sheer exuberance of our planet from above. I have been fortunate to witness some incredibly scenes, but flying over the Amirantes Islands in the Seychelles was a very special moment. The kaleidoscope of the deep blue sea, yellow sandbanks and glowing turquoise lagoon of St. Joseph atoll made for sight I will never forget. This ring of islands was once commercially exploited for fish and coconuts but today it is protected and prized for its marine biodiversity and seabird colonies. Shot on assignment for @natgeo magazine for the March 2016 story “Return to the Seychelles” While this looks like a fairly straightforward photograph to make, it was anything but. Not only did we have to fly a helicopter across 250 km of Open Ocean, but we also had to stash enough fuel on other islands to shoot aerials and get the helicopter back to base safely. To get this shot we circled the atoll for 1.5 hours…. until finally the clouds parted, perfectly framing the atoll’s ring of islands. Running low on fuel and knowing I had gotten this shot I decided to call it quits and we prepared to land on an adjacent island. Halfway to the landing site I decided to take one last look back and saw something over the atoll that I just had to photograph. The pilot gave me just five minutes and with rain lashing at me through the open door I fired away. To see the resulting image follow me @thomaspeschak and check my feed in one hour. #seychelles #aerials #conservation @saveourseasfoundation @thephotosociety @natgeocreative @natgeo
