Two interesting articles from Science Daily today regarding the lovely cosmos we find ourselves in. The first is entitled Young Star Cluster Trumpler 14 Revealed in Stunning Image and entirely lives up to it’s name. It’s a photograph (pictured all tiny to the left) of the Trumpler 14 cluster in the Carina Nebula, and it’s quite stunning. Taken by the good folks at ESO with their Very Large Telescope!
The second is entitled First Direct Observation of a Planet-Like Object Orbiting Star Similar to Sun and offers some insight into some research from Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope focussed on GJ 758. It looks like a fairly near (in space-boy terms, 300 trillion miles is fairly near) planet or possibly a brown dwarf star.¬† At any rate, read the articles and find out more!
