EARTH SCIENCE NEWS - VOLCANOES VOLCANOES Encore - Black Sand Beach on South Coast of Iceland Valle de la Luna Mount Etna Eruption, Lenticular Clouds and Waning Moon Mount Pissis Encore - Klyuchevskoy Eruption Landmannalaugar, Iceland Researchers using a suite of telescopes including the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have spotted a supermassive black hole blowing huge bubbles of hot, bright gas - one bubble is currently expanding outwards from the black hole In NGC 3921, we have discovered over 100 new young clusters. There are two reasons to believe that all these young clusters formed from GMCs in the merging spiral galaxies. The photograph shows a pair of L-shaped images with striking mirror-symmetry. These are thought to arise from a very distant galaxy seen through a cluster of foreground galaxies The luminous heart of the galaxy M61 dominates this image, framed by its winding spiral arms threaded with dark tendrils of dust. As well as the usual bright bands of stars, the spiral arms of M61 are studded with ruby-red patches of light. This image shows the exoplanet WASP-12b - an alien world as black as fresh asphalt, orbiting a star like our Sun This artist’s impression shows the super-Earth 55 Cancri e in front of its parent star. Using observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and new analytic software scientists were able to analyse the composition of its atmosphere.
