Silicate crystal formation at the disk of an erupting star || follow us for more @the_astrophysics_forum When the disk warms from the star's outburst, the amorphous particles of silicate melt. As they cool off, they transform into forsterite a type of silicate crystal often found in comets in our solar system.

Milkyway through the light house. Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . Can a lighthouse illuminate a galaxy? No, but in the featured image, gaps in light emanating from the Jose Ignacio Lighthouse in Uruguay appear to match up nicely, although only momentarily and coincidently, with dark dust lanes of our Milky Way Galaxy. The central band of the Milky Way Galaxy is actually the central spiral disk seen from within the disk. The Milky Way band is not easily visible through city lights but can be quite spectacular to see in dark skies.

Why would clouds form a hexagon on Saturn? Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum. Nobody is sure. Originally discovered during the Voyager flybys of Saturn in the 1980s, nobody has ever seen anything like it anywhere else in the Solar System. Acquiring its first sunlit views of far northern Saturn in late 2012, the Cassini spacecraft's wide-angle camera recorded this stunning, false-color image of the ringed planet's north pole. The composite of near-infrared image data results in red hues for low clouds and green for high ones, giving the Saturnian cloudscape a vivid appearance. This and similar images show the stability of the hexagon even 20+ years after Voyager. Movies of Saturn's North Pole show the cloud structure maintaining its hexagonal structure while rotating. Unlike individual clouds appearing like a hexagon on Earth, the Saturn cloud pattern appears to have six well defined sides of nearly equal length. Four Earths could fit inside the hexagon.

Click on the link in the bio to watch the eclipse Follow us for updates on the eclipse @the_astrophysics_forum . The entire eclipse will last about 3.75 hours, but the duration as it passes over individual locations will equal to around a minute and a half. During the peak, that will actually shorten to just over 30 seconds. Do's:- *NASA suggests the use of special solar filters or βeclipse glassesβ to protect your eyes, while looking towards the sun an viewing the ecliptic event. Dont's:- * Donβt look at the Sun directly. * Ordinary sunglasses should not be used to view the phenomenon. * Do not look at the reflection of the Sun in the water. * Do not try to cover glass with lampblack or carbon soot and then try to view the eclipse.
