Mystic Mountain Dust Pillars
It's stars versus dust in the Carina Nebula and the stars are winning. More precisely, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Located in the Carina Nebula and known informally as Mystic Mountain, these pillar's appearance is dominated by the dark dust even though it is composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. Dust pillars such as these are actually much thinner than air and only appear as mountains due to relatively small amounts of opaque interstellar dust. About 7,500 light-years distant, the featured image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, digitally reprocessed by an industrious amateur, and highlights an interior region of Carina which spans about three light years. Within a few million years, the stars will likely win out completely and the entire dust mountain will be destroyed.

Honoring Jackie Robinson
"Honoring #JackieRobinson today! #42" wrote NASA astronaut Terry Virts, wearing a replica Jackie Robinson jersey on orbit in the cupola of the International Space Station. April 15, which was baseball’s opening day in 1947, has now come to commemorate Jackie Robinson’s memorable career and his place in history as the first black major league baseball player in the modern era. He made history with the Brooklyn Dodgers (now the Los Angeles Dodgers) and he was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Image Credit: NASA

April 15th 1865: Abraham Lincoln dies
On this day in 1865, after being shot the previous day, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln died. Lincoln had overseen the American Civil War since 1861, and had furthered the abolition of slavery by issuing his Emancipation Proclamation and encouraging the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. Almost a week after the Confederacy’s surrender to the Union forces at Appomattox, Confederate sympathiser John Wilkes Booth shot the President while he was watching ‘Our American Cousin’ at Ford’s Theatre in Washington D.C. Booth shot Lincoln in the head at point blank range, and whilst Lincoln was taken across the street to Petersen House the wound was clearly fatal and after a nine hour coma he died at 7.22am. Booth was soon tracked down and killed, and Lincoln was widely mourned in the North as a great leader, while the nation was shocked at the first presidential assassination. Lincoln’s Vice President, Andrew Johnson, was swiftly sworn in as seventeenth President of the United States.
“Now he belongs to the ages.”
- Secretary of War Edwin Stanton after Lincoln’s death
