For the first time, scientists spot an alien planet as it is being formed Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . This image shows the disc around the young AB Aurigae star, where ESOβs Very Large Telescope (VLT) has spotted signs of planet birth. Close to the center of the image, in the inner region of the disc, we see the βtwistβ (in very bright yellow) that scientists believe marks the spot where a planet is forming. This twist lies at about the same distance from the AB Aurigae star as Neptune from the Sun. The image was obtained with the VLTβs SPHERE instrument in polarized light.

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.

Carl Sagan Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . Some of Sagan's most memorable contributions occurred outside the classroom. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was NASA's astronaut whisperer. He offered advice to the Apollo crew before their journeys to the moon and conceived experiments for other planetary expeditions, including an interstellar record designed to greet the unknown inhabitants of deep space. And that's just one cool thing on the list of his achievements.

Emotional interview about SpaceX by Elon Musk Follow to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum The companyβs first three launches failed which sparked scepticism in many investors. They only had enough money for one more launch; they were almost at the verge of bankruptcy. It was a very stressful time for Musk. The fourth launch was a huge success, and as a consequence SpaceX received a contract from NASA for $1.6 billion. SpaceX was sending rockets to space at one third the cost of any other agencies in the business. Musk had gone all out for the SpaceX launch which, fortunately for him, turned out to be a success.

Signs of Life? Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . Saturn's sixth largest moon, Enceladus, has loomed large in the minds of astrobiologists since 2005, when Cassini first spotted geysers of water ice erupting from "tiger stripe" fissures near its south pole. Scientists think these geysers are blasting material from a sizable ocean buried beneath the satellite's ice shell, indicating that Enceladus has liquid water, one of the key ingredients required for life.

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.

Ring Nebula (M57) is probably the most famous celestial band. Its classic appearance is understood to be due to our own perspective, though. Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . The recent mapping of the expanding nebula's 3-D structure, based in part on this clear Hubble image,indicates that the nebula is a relatively dense, donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of a (American) football-shaped cloud of glowing gas.

All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend. These mysterious substances are called dark energy and dark matter. Astronomers infer their existence based on their gravitational influence on what little bits of the universe can be seen, but dark matter and energy themselves continue to elude all detection.

Follow us for more @the_astrophysics_forum An annular solar eclipse occurs when the apparent size of the moon is only slightly less than the Sunβs β or the Moon almost covers the Sun β leaving only the outer rim of the Sun uncovered, and hence giving the appearance of a βring of fireβ. According to experts, during the solar eclipse on Sunday, the ring is expected to be very thin, as the Moon will cover over 98.8 percent of the Sun, making it the deepest annular eclipse of the century in India. The eclipse is expected to begin at 09:56 am on June 21, and last till 02:28 pm. While most of India will witness a partial solar eclipse, certain places in Haryana, Uttarkhand and Rajasthan are expected to witness the phenomenon of Bailyβs Beads. These include, Dehradun, Kurukshetra, Chamoli, Joshimath, Sirsa and Suratgarh. In Delhi, the eclipse will begin at 10:19 am and end at 01:48 pm, with the maximum phase occurring at around noon, the report has said. The eclipsed Sun should not be viewed with the naked eye, even for a short time. It will cause permanent damage to the eyes, leading to blindness, even when the Moon covers most portion of the Sun.

Atmospheric Ring of Venus || follow:- @the_astrophysics_forum Why is Venus surrounded by a bright ring? Sometimes called a ring of fire, this rare ring is caused by the Sun's light being visible all around an object. Usually seen around the Moon during an annular solar eclipse, the ring of fire is also visible when either Venus or Mercury cross the face of our Sun. the complete atmospheric ring was caused by sunlight refracting through Venus' thick atmosphere. Venus passed within one degree of the Sun during its inferiorΓΒ conjunction, as it moved from the evening to the morning sky.ΓΒ The extreme brightness of the nearby Sun made capturing such an image very difficult -- the featured image was only made possible by using a temporary filter to block direct sunlight.
