NGC 7635: Bubble in a Cosmic Sea
Do you see the bubble in the center? Seemingly adrift in a cosmic sea of stars and glowing gas, the delicate, floating apparition in this widefield view is cataloged as NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula. A mere 10 light-years wide, the tiny Bubble Nebula and the larger complex of interstellar gas and dust clouds are found about 11,000 light-years distant, straddling the boundary between the parental constellations Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Also included in the breathtaking vista is open star cluster M52 (upper left), some 5,000 light-years away. The featured image spans about two degrees on the sky corresponding to a width of about 375 light-years at the estimated distance of the Bubble Nebula.

The 30 Years’ War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, was the most costly religious war in European history. The fighting in central Europe claimed something around 8 million lives. But the war also took lives by accident. You see, it almost directly led to a devastating plague which marched across the Italian peninsula…
An empress by any other name
Empress Cixi was originally Concubine Yi. When she and the dowager empress Zhen successfully staged a coup to overthrow the regents of the 5-year-old Emperor Tongzhi (Concubine Yi’s son), both women took new names to mark the event. The Dowager Empress Zhen became “Ci'an” meaning “kindly and serene.” Concubine Yi became “Cixi” meaning “kindly and joyous.” This would remain her name until her death, forty-seven year later.
Menina fantasma aparece na parte de trás de carro em movimento
Um vídeo mostrando o que se parece com uma mulher sentada na parte de trás de um carro em alta velocidade se tornou viral nesta semana.
A filmagem peculiar, que foi gravada pelo fotojornalista Powarit Katkul na Tailândia, mostra um carro vermelho em uma estrada movimentada à noite e o que parece ser uma jovem sentada em cima dele com as pernas balançando.
Segundo relatos, Katkul entrou em contato com a polícia para informar o incidente e soube que o registo do veículo já havia sido cancelado pelo Departamento de Transportes Terrestres.
Autoridades estão tentando contactar o proprietário do veículo em um esforço para chegar ao fundo do mistério.
A Potential New Viking Site Found in Canada!
An expert in detecting buried structures from satellite images, Sarah Parcak, identified a second likely site on the southernmost tip of Newfoundland. Well-known is L’Anse aux Meadows is on the northern tip of the island. It was debated whether the sagas’ account of a place good for growing grapes was true. The new site, Point Rosee, broke ground in the summer of 2015. The dig found remains of turf walls and an ironworking fireplace. This is not solid evidence yet. The excavations could be evidence, for instance, of the Basque whalers who sheltered on the island from the early 1500s. But the excavations continue. Hopefully they will find more proof, one way or the other, about the Vikings’ exploration of America.
Prototype of Space Station's Advanced Plant Habitat
A high fidelity test version of NASA’s Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), the largest plant chamber built for the agency, arrived at Kennedy Space Center the third week of November, 2016. The APH unit, containing small flowering plant seeds, will be delivered to the International Space Station in 2017.
