Mars Helicopter Flies a Fifth Time!

The Ingenuity rovercraft has flown for a fifth time, and now enters into a new phase of operation. On its first on-way trip, the helicopter flew 129 meters and has landed at a new location – in Perseverance’s direction of travel.

Fifth flight successful! The #MarsHelicopter begins a new phase to test the future of aerial exploration. https://t.co/PLapgbHeZU https://t.co/jwHlPgv6c1

The Sky - In the Sky

Jupiter and Saturn continue to appear in the southeastern predawn sky – as they have done for several weeks… I must sound like a broken record here…

From Port Hedland, Australia, in the southern hemisphere, Jupiter and Saturn appear high in the eastern predawn sky all week.

Mercury returns to the west-northwestern sky at sunset, appearing a bit higher in the sky with each evening until May 17th – where it hangs there for 2 days, and then after May 19th, starts getting lower with each evening. The wafer-thin waxing crescent Moon appears near Mercury after sunset on May 13th.

Mars appears high above the western horizon after sunset, getting a wee bit lower with each evening.

The Moon appears in conjunction with Mars above the western horizon after sunset on April 15th.

The Moon - In the Sky

The New Moon occurs on May 11th.

After May 11th, the Moon will be a Waxing Crescent – visible toward the southwest in early evening.

If you click the image on that page, you will download a high-rez TIFF image annotated with the names of prominent features – helpful for logging your lunar observations!

Moon News:

Before NASA’s next lunar rover heads to the Moon, it must first pass a series of mobility tests. The SLOPE Lab is home to multiple sandboxes that mimic the lunar and Martian terrain to evaluate the performance and limitations of current rover designs. https://t.co/1lbzzWYPNa

The Sun - In the Sky

The Sun has 2 spots! Spaceweather.com says that “Sunspot AR2822 has a ‘beta-gamma’ magnetic field that harbors energy for M-class solar flares.”

Spaceweather.com also reports “A CME is coming. Hurled toward Earth by an erupting filament of magnetism on May 9th, the solar storm cloud is expected to arrive on May 12th or 13th. This is not an especially fast or powerful CME, but it could spark G1-class geomagnetic storms and auroras at high latitudes.”

A couple intense regions of coronal loop activity are rotating towards the center of the Sun’s face

The northern and southern coronal hole is small-ish, while the southern coronal hole seems to have opened up a bit since last week.

A long coronal hole appears near the center of the Sun’s face, a large coronal hole is rotating into view in the southern hemisphere.

SOLARACTIVITY PICTURE OF THE DAY for Tuesday, May 11th, 2021 goes out to Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau for this awesome full disk image. Eduardo commented: “This morning, despite the great turbulence in the atmosphere, I was able to find a moment of stability and get this image of the sun. On the top left you can see the sunspot AR2822 that has been transiting the disk of the sun for a few days, below you can see a new, smaller spot that appeared this Monday.”

Aurora - In the Sky

“BLACK AURORAS OVER SCOTLAND: Red. Green. Purple. These are the colors we usually see during any display of auroras. On April 18th, Alan C. Tough of Hopeman, Moray, Scotland saw something else. “Black,” he says. In the photo below, “note the dark vertical strip above the green band, which is devoid of any normal auroral colour.”

Black auroras have been seen before. They are dark rings or black blobs that sometimes appear in an otherwise ordinary expanse of auroral light. Some researchers call them “anti-auroras.” The black auroras in Tough’s photo are circled here.

Ordinary auroras are caused by electrons raining down from space, hitting Earth’s upper atmosphere and making the air glow. Black auroras are the opposite. Instead of electrons raining down, electrons are propelled upward, back into space.”

The Universe - In the Sky

Hubble – Beautiful Universe: 30 Doradus

30 Doradus. NASA, ESA, D. Lennon and E. Sabbi (ESA/STScI), J. Anderson, S. E. de Mink, R. van der Marel, T. Sohn, and N. Walborn (STScI), N. Bastian (Excellence Cluster, Munich), L. Bedin (INAF, Padua), E. Bressert (ESO), P. Crowther (University of Sheffield), A. de Koter (University of Amsterdam), C. Evans (UKATC/STFC, Edinburgh), A. Herrero (IAC, Tenerife), N. Langer (AifA, Bonn), I. Platais (JHU), and H. Sana (University of Amsterdam)

Several million young stars are vying for attention in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of a raucous stellar breeding ground in 30 Doradus, located in the heart of the Tarantula Nebula. Early astronomers nicknamed the nebula because its glowing filaments resemble spider legs.

30 Doradus is the brightest star-forming region visible in a neighboring galaxy and home to the most massive stars ever seen. The nebula resides 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small, satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. No known star-forming region in our galaxy is as large or as prolific as 30 Doradus.

The composite image comprises one of the largest mosaics ever assembled from Hubble photos and includes observations taken by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. The Hubble image is combined with ground-based data of the Tarantula Nebula, taken with the European Southern Observatory’s 2.2-meter telescope in La Silla, Chile. NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute are releasing the image to celebrate Hubble’s 22nd anniversary.

Collectively, the stars in this image are millions of times more massive than our Sun. The image is roughly 650 light-years across and contains some rambunctious stars, from one of the fastest rotating stars to the speediest and most massive runaway star.

The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars’ birth and evolution. Many small galaxies have more spectacular starbursts, but the Large Magellanic Cloud’s 30 Doradus is one of the only extragalactic star-forming regions that astronomers can study in so much detail. The star-birthing frenzy in 30 Doradus may be partly fueled by its close proximity to its companion galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud.

The image reveals the stages of star birth, from embryonic stars a few thousand years old still wrapped in cocoons of dark gas to behemoths that die young in supernova explosions. 30 Doradus is a star-forming factory, churning out stars at a furious pace over millions of years. Hubble shows star clusters of various ages, from about 2 million to about 25 million years old.

The region’s sparkling centerpiece is a giant, young star cluster (left of center) named NGC 2070, only 2 million years old. Its stellar inhabitants number roughly 500,000. The cluster is a hotbed for young, massive stars. Its dense core, known as R136, is packed with some of the heftiest stars found in the nearby universe, weighing more than 100 times the mass of our Sun.

The massive stars are carving deep cavities in the surrounding material by unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light, which is etching away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud in which the stars were born. The image reveals a fantasy landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys. Besides sculpting the gaseous terrain, the brilliant stars also may be triggering a successive generation of offspring. When the radiation hits dense walls of gas, it creates shocks, which may be generating a new wave of star birth.

The colors represent the hot gas that dominates regions of the image. Red signifies hydrogen gas and blue, oxygen.

Hubble imaged 30 separate fields, 15 with each camera. Both cameras were making observations at the same time. Hubble made the observations in October 2011.

Note: There is an absolutely monster-sized (20323 X 16259 – 169.95 MB) JPG of this image here.
