Many navigators, including Ferdinand Magellan who lends his name to the SMC, used it to help find their way across the oceans. NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope has made the first detection of X-ray emission from young solar-type stars—stars with characteristics broadly similar to those of our sun—that lie outside our Milky Way galaxy. These stars live in a region known as the \"Wing\" of the SMC. This image of the Wing is a composite that combines data from three sources into one. X-ray data from Chandra are shown in purple; optical (i.e., visible) light seen by the Hubble Space Telescope is in red, green, and blue; and infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are colored red. X-rays from young stars trace the activity and strength of stellar magnetic fields. Magnetic activity provides clues to a star's convection (the rising and falling of hot gas in the star's interior) and rotation rates. The combined X-ray, optical, and infrared data also reveal, for the first time outside our galaxy, objects that resemble very young, lowmass stars, which scientists call \"young stellar objects.\" These objects have ages of a few thousand years and are still embedded in the pillar of dust and gas from which stars form.Used in 2014 Calendar. || ", "hits": 68 }, { "id": 30358, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30358/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2013-10-22T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hemispheric View of Venus", "description": "The hemispheric view of Venus, as revealed by more than a decade of radar investigations culminating in the 1990-1994 Magellan mission, is centered at 180 degrees east longitude.

A mosaic of the Magellan images (most with illumination from the west) forms the image base. Gaps in the Magellan coverage were filled with images from the Earth-based Arecibo radar in a region centered roughly on 0 degree latitude and longitude, and with a neutral tone elsewhere (primarily near the south pole). The composite image was processed to improve contrast and to emphasize small features, and was color-coded to represent elevation.

Hot gas detected by Chandra in X-rays is seen as two pink clumps in the image and contains most of the \"normal,\" or baryonic, matter in the two clusters. The bullet-shaped clump on the right is the hot gas from one cluster, which passed through the hot gas from the other larger cluster during the collision. An optical image from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope shows the galaxies in orange and white. The blue areas in this image show where astronomers find most of the mass in the clusters. The concentration of mass is determined using the effect of so-called gravitational lensing, where light from the distant objects is distorted by intervening matter. Most of the matter in the clusters (blue) is clearly separate from the normal matter (pink), giving direct evidence that nearly all of the matter in the clusters is dark. The animation below shows an artist's representation of the huge collision in the bullet cluster. Hot gas, containing most of the normal matter in the cluster, is shown in red and dark matter is in blue. During the collision the hot gas in each cluster is slowed and distorted by a drag force, similar to air resistance. In contrast, the dark matter is not slowed by the impact, because it does not interact directly with itself or the gas except through gravity, and separates from the normal matter. || ", "hits": 360 }, { "id": 11293, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11293/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-06-03T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA Swift Provides the Best-Ever UV View of the Nearest Galaxies", "description": "Astronomers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa., have used NASA's Swift satellite to create the most detailed surveys of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, the two closest major galaxies, in ultraviolet light.Thousands of images were assembled into seamless portraits of the main body of each galaxy to produce the highest-resolution surveys of the Magellanic Clouds at ultraviolet wavelengths. The project was proposed by Stefan Immler, an astronomer at Goddard.The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, or LMC and SMC for short, lie about 163,000 and 200,000 light-years away, respectively, and orbit each other as well as our own Milky Way galaxy. Compared to the Milky Way, the LMC has about one-tenth its physical size and only 1 percent of its mass. The SMC is only half the size of the LMC and contains about two-thirds of its mass. The new images reveal about a million ultraviolet sources within the LMC and about 250,000 in the SMC. Viewing in the ultraviolet allows astronomers to suppress the light of normal stars like the sun, which are not very bright at these higher energies, and provide a clearer picture of the hottest stars and star-formation regions. Only Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope, or UVOT, is capable of producing such high-resolution wide-field multi-color surveys in the ultraviolet. The LMC and SMC images range from 1,600 to 3,300 angstroms, UV wavelengths largely blocked by Earth's atmosphere. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are readily visible from the Southern Hemisphere as faint, glowing patches in the night sky. The galaxies are named after Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who in 1519 led an expedition to sail around the world. He and his crew were among the first Europeans to sight the objects.Watch this video on YouTube. || ", "hits": 219 }, { "id": 11135, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11135/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2012-11-16T20:00:00-05:00", "title": "Operation IceBridge 2012 Antarctic Campaign video series", "description": "This year Operation IceBridge completed 16 science flights over Antarctica and nearby sea ice, flying once again out of Punta Arenas, Chile.
