Warping back to 2011 with our original line up. This was taken after playing a ripping set at the Badlands in Syracuse, NY. The badlands was a sick DIY venue where we had the honor of both playing with and seeing sick bands from all over.

Fascinating!

Inside the star cluster NGC 602 (a stellar nursery in the Small Magellanic Cloud) radiant blue newborn stars shape an immense cavity.

Their powerful radiation sculpts the surrounding edges, steadily wearing away the outer layers and drawing in material from beyond.

Hails #metalsky ! We are Cosmic Sea, a Progressive Death Metal band from New York.

Our new record will be out sometime later this year.

Hubble Catches Heavyweight Runaway Star Speeding from 30 Doradus

Image: ESO 2.2-m WFI Image of the Tarantula Nebula

A blue-hot star, 90 times more massive than our Sun, is hurtling across space fast enough to make a round trip from Earth to the Moon in merely two hours. Though the speed is not a record-breaker, it is unique to find a homeless star that has traveled so far from its nest. The only way the star could have been ejected from the star cluster where it was born is through a tussle with a rogue star that entered the binary system where the star lived, which ejected the star through a dynamical game of stellar pinball. This is strong circumstantial evidence for stars as massive as 150 times our Sun's mass living in the cluster. Only a very massive star would have the gravitational energy to eject something weighing 90 solar masses. The runaway star is on the outskirts of the 30 Doradus nebula, a raucous stellar breeding ground in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud. The finding bolsters evidence that the most massive stars in the local universe reside in 30 Doradus, making it a unique laboratory for studying heavyweight stars. 30 Doradus, also called the Tarantula Nebula, is roughly 170,000 light-years from Earth.

Please stand up for political cartoonists around the country as they are starting to be pushed out for their content and/or due to "needed cuts". Art has spoken truth to power throughout history and is one of the first things crushed in regimes.

An interesting globular cluster situated toward the galactic core, NGC 6496 shines betwixt many of the stars within our own Milky Way. I would describe the colors here as dubious at best, but bluer stars are roughly brighter in UV light while red stars are brighter in near-infrared. Anywhere away from the center of the image you will notice the colors get weird and in some places are even monochrome. The datasets do not overlap perfectly but that is ok because even some funky Hubble data is still pretty darn good.

This image was possible thanks to proposals 10775 (An ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters) and 13297 (The HST Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: Shedding UV Light on Their Populations and Formation)

The following datasets were used roughly in these channels. It's important to note that this is a complete hodge podge and the datasets did not overlap with one another in many places and I had to mix the channels in those places. The F606W data is also used to brighten the blue channel because it wasn't bright and glowy enough to match the other two. Sorry if this explanation is hard to follow.

Red: ACS/WFC F814W
Green: ACS/WFC F606W
Blue: WFC3/UVIS F275W + F336W + F438W

North is NOT up. It is 44.3ยฐ clockwise from up.
