PDN PHOTO OF THE DAY
Hubble: A Journey ThroughSpace and Time (6 Photos)APR 09, 2010 01:00A.M.
All images courtesy of NASA.
The core of the spectacular globular cluster Omega Centauri glitters with
the combined light of 2 million stars. The entire cluster contains 10
million stars, and is among the biggest and most massive of some two
hundred globular clusters orbiting the Milky Way galaxy. Globular
clusters are ancient swarms of stars united by gravity.
This image and caption, and those that follow, are from the recently
released Hubble: A Journey Through Space and Time by Edward J.
Weiler, published by Abrams in collaboration with NASA to mark the
20th anniversary of the April 24, 1990, launch of the Hubble Space
Telescope.
This sweeping panorama, 300 light-years in width, is the sharpest
infrared picture ever made of the core of our Milky Way galaxy. It offers
a nearby laboratory for how massive stars form and influence their
environment in the often-violent nuclear regions of other galaxies. The
galactic core is obscured in visible light by intervening dust clouds, but
infrared light penetrates the dust. This view combines the sharp imaging
of Hubble’s Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer
(NICMOS) with color imagery from a previous Spitzer Space Telescope
survey done with it’s Infrared Astronomy Camera (IRAC). The NICMOS
mosaic required 144 Hubble orbits to make 2,304 exposures.
This magnificent image from NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble space
telescopes shows the Orion Nebula in an explosion of infrared,
ultraviolet, and visible-light colors. It was “painted” by hundreds of baby
stars on a canvas of gas and dust, with intense ultraviolet light and
strong stellar winds as brushes. At the heart of the nebula, in the
brightest part of the image, is a group of monstrously massive stars,
collectively called the Trapezium. Located 1,500 light-years from Earth,
the Orion Nebula is the brightest “star” in the sword of the Hunter
constellation.
The Crab Nebula is a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star’s
supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this
violent event nearly one thousand years ago in 1054, as did, almost
certainly, Native Americans. The orange filaments are the tattered
remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. The neutron star
embedded in the center of the nebula, which has a mass equivalent to the
Sun crammed into a rapidly spinning ball of neutrons 12 miles across, is

the dynamo powering the nebula’s eerie interior bluish glow. The blue
light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around
magnetic field lines from the neutron star.
Remnants from a star that exploded thousands of years ago created a
celestial abstract portrait called the Pencil Nebula. Officially known as
NGC 2736, the Pencil Nebula is part of the huge Vela supernova
remnant, located in the southern constellation Vela. Discovered by Sir
John Herschel in the 1840s, the nebula’s shape suggests that it is part of
the supernova shock wave that recently a region of dense gas. It is this
interaction that causes the nebula to glow, appearing like a rippled sheet.
Astronaut F. Story Musgrave, anchored on the end of the Space Shuttle’s
Remote Manipulator System arm, prepares to be elevated to the top of
the towering Hubble Space Telescope to install protective covers on the
magnetometers. Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman (bottom of frame)
assisted Musgrave with final servicing tasks on the telescope.

Canon PowerShot A495 ReviewAPR 08, 2010 07:50P.M.
As camera manufacturers increasingly add more bells, whistles and
megapixels to their compacts in order to outdo the competition, it’s easy
to overlook the cheaper yet still very capable end of the market. This is
where cameras like the new Canon Powershot A495 aim to provide the
core functionality and image quality of their more expensive brethren in
a more accessible and of course cheaper package. Read our in-depth 10-
page Canon PowerShot A495 review to find out if this budget shooter

After six years of drought, measuring sticks are useless at the Ziglab Dam
in Jordan, built to catch water flowing west into the Jordan River for
irrigation. Its reservoir has shrunk to a fifth capacity and hasn’t filled
since 2003, forcing Jordan to ration water. This image is part of a new
exhibition organized by National Geographic and the Annenberg Space
for Photography. The exhibition is based on “Water: Our Thirsty World,”
the current issue of National Geographic. Read more about the

Did Simon Hogsberg Shoot theWidest Photo Ever Taken?APR 06, 2010 10:00P.M.
The trouble with photographers like Simon Hoegsberg is that it’s difficult
to choose only one of his projects to tell you about.
To create We’re All Gonna Die – 100 meters of existence, he stood on a
railroad bridge in Berlin for 20 days, photographing strangers.
The result: a print 30 inches high, and 100 METERS wide. Gasp.
He captured 178 people in all, each experiencing a beautifully simple
moment of their lives, completely unaware.
Thanks, Simon, for reminding us that sometimes you don’t need to go far
for inspiration, you just need to wait.
