Galaxy Gallery Credit: Courtesy Adam Block (KPNO Visitor Program),
NOAO, NSF - Explanation: A tantalizing assortment of island universes is
assembled here. From top left to bottom right are the lovely but distant
galaxies M61, NGC 4449, NGC 4725, NGC 5068, NGC 5247, and NGC 5775/5774.
Most are spiral galaxies more or less like our own Milky Way. The color
images reveal distinct pink patches marking the glowing hydrogen gas clouds
in star forming regions along the graceful spiral arms. While Virgo cluster
galaxy M61 is perhaps the most striking of these spirals, the interesting
galaxy pair NGC 5775/5774 neatly contrasts the characteristic spiral edge-on
and face-on appearance. The one exception to this parade of photogenic
spiral galaxies is the small and relatively close irregular galaxy NGC
4449 (top middle). Similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud, companion galaxy
to the Milky Way, NGC 4449 also sports young blue star clusters and pink
star forming regions. All the galaxies in this gallery were imaged with
a small (16 inch diameter) reflecting telescope and digital camera by public
participants in the Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center's Advanced
Observing Program. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry

360° Tour Prague's
Old Town Square Czech Republic. City of one hundred spires: You
are standing in Prague's Old Town Square, where decorative rooftops and
spires top the 14th-century buildings around you. Cobblestones underfoot
have felt the cart wheels of medieval merchants, treads of Soviet tanks,
and footsteps of independence-era revelers. Now travelers are rediscovering
Prague, a charming eastern European city unique for its rich architectural
legacy and optimistic outlook. Expedia.
Hai
(Shark) Germany | 19:59 Comedy Extreme International.
Synopsis: Finishing dinner in a nearly empty restaurant, the waiter wants
to kick this lonely diner out to make room for a private party. He doesn't
want to go out into the rain, so he says he'll leave when the first guests
arrive. He orders coffee, puts some cream in it, and that's when things
go haywire! He sees a shark in his coffee. It's gotta be the cream. Now
he decides he needs to protect the patrons of the restaurant, while the
waiter just wants to get rid of him.
NGC
2264: Stars, Dust, and Gas Credit & Copyright: Michael Bessell
(RSAA, ANU), MSO - Explanation: The nebula surrounding bright star S Mon
is filled with dark dust and glowing gas. The strange shapes that haunt
this star forming region originate from fine interstellar dust reacting
in complex ways to the energetic light and hot gas being expelled by the
young stars. The above picture, in representative color, isolates the northern
part of a greater nebula designated NGC 2264, which lies about 2500 light-years
away and includes the Cone Nebula. The blue glow directly surrounding S
Mon results from reflection, where neighboring dust reflects light from
the bright star. The more diffuse red glow results from emission, where
starlight ionizes hydrogen gas. Pink areas are lit by a combination of
the two processes. A small group of stars surrounds S Mon, the brightest
star in the picture and a star visible with the naked eye toward the constellation
of Monoceros. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry

360° Tour Florentine
skyline Florence, Italy. This panoramic view of Florence seems
little changed since the city's 15th-century glory days as a hotbed of
the Italian Renaissance. No office towers compete with its magnificent
cathedral dome, no modern bridges hurry across the slow Arno River. Rather,
the city brims with art by Renaissance luminaries. Mopeds aside, Michelangelo
might find himself right at home in this city that bears much of his artistic
imprint. Expedia.

dollar is left unspent when the franchise calls the shots.
Space
Shuttle Lifts Off for Space Station Credit: STS-100, NASA - Explanation:
Last Thursday, Space Shuttle Endeavor lifted off on course for the latest
round of building the International Space Station (ISS) in orbit around
Earth. One of the highlights of the 11-day mission promises to be the installation
of Canadarm2, a robotic arm that will assist in the future construction
and utilization of the ISS. Canadarm2, a larger and more sophisticated
version of the shuttle's own robotic arm, will be able to move around the
station's exterior. This is the ninth shuttle mission to build the ISS
-- many more are planned over the next several years. When completed, the
ISS should enclose about the same room as the passenger cabin of a 747
jet.Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff (MTU) & Jerry Bonnell (USRA)

Uluru (Ayers Rock) Outback Australia - Majestic monolith: Rising
from the vast red desert of central Australia, Uluru (Ayers Rock) is without
a doubt the country's most recognized landform. Held sacred by the indigenous
Anangu people, Uluru and the nearby rock formations, Kata Tjuta (the Olgas),
blend ancient culture with fascinating geology-a combination that makes
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park one of the country's most compelling sites.

- Director: Imogen Murphy Producer: Martina Niland Writer: Imogen Murphy
Principal Cast: Alan Pentony, Lesley Conroy, Maclean Burke Synopsis Little
Marty's father always told him, "If you find a person's flaw, you have
them for life." However, there are two catches. First, Marty has to
find that flawed person, and second, can that person ever look past his
stunted stature? Fortunately, along comes Allison one day, followed by
a hike on a local mountain and plenty of toast.
A
Higher Dimensional Universe? Applet
Credit & Copyright: Mark Newbold Explanation: Does our universe
have higher but unusual spatial dimensions? This idea has been gaining
popularity to help explain why vastly separated parts of our universe appear
so similar, and why the geometry of our universe does not seem to result
naturally from the amounts of matter it seems to contain. In a new incarnation
of an old extra-dimensional idea, some astrophysicists hypothesize that
we live in a universe dubbed Ekpyrotic, where our four dimensions (three
spatial plus one time) resulted from the fiery collision of two four-dimensional
spaces (branes) in a five-dimensional universe. This big-bang hypothesis
is meant to compete with another big-bang hypothesis that our universe
underwent a superluminal inflation event in the distant past, and does
make distinct testable predictions. Above, a dynamic three-dimensional
drawing (two spatial plus one time) of a four-dimensional depiction of
a five-dimensional cube (a hypercube with four spatial dimensions is also
known as a tesseract) is shown. Donning red-blue glasses will give the
best multi-dimensional perspective. Authors & editors: Robert Nemiroff

360° Tour Mayan
city ruins Tikal, Guatemala City of echoes: You've ventured into
the greatest of all Mayan cities-Tikal, deep in the Guatemalan jungle.
Strolling across the Great Plaza, you can almost glimpse the Mayan priests
and noblemen who ruled here a millennium ago. Gathering your breath, you
climb the North Acropolis and gaze across the ruins of an imperial city
whose majesty is matched only by the mystery of its fall. - Expedia.
