The Earth




Credit: Esa


Our search for knowledge about the distant universe has led to better understanding of our own planet. Looking at Earth from space has in fact been pivotal for geoscience. The Earth rise, the famous picture that an astronaut on the Apollo mission took, still fascinates us. And this image of a crescent Earth taken by Rosetta is reminding us of the beauty and vulnerability of our own planet.

Atlas Splash



They are at it again down at CERN, colliding particles and everything. Well, so far there are only splashes. I think...

Bulging Galaxy



Pretty neat image of a bulging galaxy. :-)

Did I mention that the galaxy is bulging?

Miracle Machine



Photo: Michael Hoch (CERN/CMS)


This CMS tracker can be found as part of LHC at Cern. It is made by about 200 square meters of silicon detectors: it is the largest such detector ever built, with the highest number of electronic channels ever put together in such a devise.

If you are living close to an installation like this (there are several huge scientific machine several places on this planet; ESRF in Grenoble, Brookhaven in US etc), you should try to visit. It is mighty impressive to be close to these technological wonders.

A Black Hole or Not A Black Hole




Credit: Nasa

That is the unanswered question based on the shape of the galaxy. Meaning, the shape of a galaxy does not necessarily reveal the fact of a black hole in it.
