This is a solarised version of the Total Solar Eclipse filmed on the 29 March 2006 from Mamprobi Accra Ghana West Africa. I did not film the beginning of this event because I did not have the camera ready, or think it would have been such a mystical event that was about take place, I found myself directly under or close to the center of what you see in this clip. One would have to experience it to feel the vibes and see the colors. Only some of the wonders were captured for future viewing. I sol

A mere 50 light-years away, young star
Beta
Pictoris
became one of the most important stars in the sky
in the early 1980s.

Satellite and ground-based telescopic observations revealed
the presence of a surrounding outer, dusty,
debris disk and an inner
clear zone about the size of our solar system -- strong evidence for
the formation of planets.

Infrared observations
from European Southern Observatory telescopes
subsequently detected a source
in the clear zone, now confirmed as a
giant planet
orbiting Beta Pic.

The confirmation comes
as the planet is detected at two different
positions in its orbit.

Designated
Beta Pictoris b,
the giant planet must have formed rapidly
as Beta Pic itself is only 8 to 20 million years old.

With an orbital period estimated between 17 and 44 years,
Beta Pictoris b could lie near the orbit of Saturn if found in
our solar system,
making it the closest planet to its parent star
directly imaged ... so far.

Put a satellite
in a circular orbit about 42,000 kilometers from the
center of the Earth (36,000 kilometers or so above the surface)
and it will orbit once in 24 hours.

Because that matches Earth's rotation period, it is known as
a geosynchronous orbit.

If that orbit is also in the plane of the equator,
the satellite will hang in the sky over a fixed location in
a
geostationary orbit.

As predicted in the 1940s by futurist
Arthur C. Clark,
geostationary
orbits are in common use
for communication and weather satellites,
a scenario now well-known to astroimagers.

Deep images of the night sky made with telescopes that follow
the stars can also
pick up geostationary
satellites glinting in sunlight still shining
far above the Earth's surface.

Because they all move with the Earth's rotation against the
background of stars, the satellites leave trails that
seem to follow a highway across the celestial landscape.

For example, in this wide view of the nearly equatorial
Orion region,
individual frames were added to create a 10 minute long exposure.

It shows Orion's belt stars and
well-known nebulae along with many
2.5 degree long geostationary satellite trails.

The frames are from an ingenious movie, featuring the
geostationary
satellite highway.

This
sharp, wide-field view features
infrared light from the spiral
Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

Dust heated by Andromeda's young stars is shown in yellow and red,
while its older population of stars appears as a bluish haze.

The false-color skyscape is a mosaic of images from NASA's new
Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
satellite.

With over twice the diameter of
our Milky Way, Andromeda is the largest galaxy in
the
local group.

Andromeda's own satellite galaxies M110
(below) and
M32 (above)
are also included in the combined fields.

Launched in December 2009, WISE began a six month long infrared
survey of the entire sky on January 14.

Expected to discover
near-Earth asteroids
as well as explore
the distant universe, its sensitive infrared detectors are
cooled by frozen hydrogen.

Some 40 million light-years distant,
edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4216
is nearly 100,000 light-years across, about the size of our
own Milky Way.

Found in the dense
Virgo Galaxy Cluster, NGC 4216 is centered in
this deep telescopic portrait
flanked by fellow
Virgo cluster members NGC 4206 (right) and NGC 4222.

Like other large spirals, including the Milky Way, NGC 4216 has
grown by cannibalizing
smaller satellite galaxies.

In fact, this view has caught it in the act, with still distinct satellite
galaxies showing faint
star streams extending
for thousands of light-years into the halo of NGC 4216.

Taken as part of a survey
hunting for star
streams in nearby spirals,
the image was recorded with a small telescope and camera able to
convincingly detect faint, extended features.

Having trouble spotting the star streams?

Slide your cursor over the image to see a composite
negative view.

The streams should more easily stand out as dark swaths
against a white background.

This stunning vista represents the highest resolution image
ever made of the
Andromeda Galaxy (aka M31) at ultraviolet
wavelengths.

Recorded by NASA's Swift satellite,
the mosaic is composed of 330 individual images covering
a region 200,000 light-years wide.

It shows about 20,000 sources,
dominated by hot, young stars
and dense star clusters that radiate strongly in
energetic
ultraviolet light.

Of course, the Andromeda
Galaxy
is the closest large spiral galaxy
to our own Milky Way, at a distance of some 2.5 million light-years.

Just slide your cursor over the image to compare the appearance
of this
gorgeous island universe
in optical light with its ultraviolet portrait.

The 16th century Portuguese navigator
Ferdinand
Magellan and his crew had plenty of time to study the
southern sky during the
first
circumnavigation of planet Earth.

As a result, two fuzzy cloud-like
objects easily visible to southern hemisphere skygazers are known as the
Clouds of Magellan,
now understood to be
satellite galaxies of our much larger, spiral Milky Way galaxy.

About 180,000 light-years distant in the constellation
Dorado,
the Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is seen here in a remarkably
deep, colorful composite image, starlight from the
central bluish bar
contrasting with the telltale reddish glow of
ionized atomic hydrogen gas.

Spanning about 15,000 light-years or so, it is
the most massive of the Milky Way's
satellite
galaxies and is the home of the
closest
supernova in modern times, SN 1987A.

The prominent patch at top left is 30 Doradus,
also know as the magnificent
Tarantula Nebula.

The giant star-forming region is about 1,000 light-years across.
