Exoplanete Gliese 1214 b - Gliese 1214 b (or GJ 1214 b) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting the star Gliese 1214 in the constellation Ophiuchus, whose discovery was announced on 16 December 2009. It is located about 40 years from the Sun. It is the third discovered exoplanet whose size is smaller than that of a gas giant and the first on which water could be present in large quantities given its size and estimated mass. It could be the first ocean planet discovered. Gliese 1214 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits the star Gliese 1214. The parent star is 13 parsecs (approximately 40 light - years) from the Sun, in the constellation Ophiuchus. The planet was discovered in December 2009. It is classified as a super - Earth because it is larger than Earth but has a mass and radius significantly less than those of the gas giants in the Solar System. After COROT - 7b, it is the second such planet to be known and is the first of a new class of planets with small size and relatively low dens

Halley Comet - Halley's Comet - Halley's Comet seen in April 1986 in the Scorpio Region. Halliy's Comet on April 10 1986 in the region of the Scorpius Milky Way. The comet is located here just southwest of the Scorpius Jewel Box and IC 4628. Bright star clouds in this region made Halley's tail difficult to distinguish from the background. Antares and the Rho Ophiuchus region is at upper left, and the Milky Way is punctuated by numerous red emission nebula as well as sweeping clouds of obscuring dust

The center of our galaxy, the milky way - The center of our galaxy, the milky way - This billion pixel mosaic shows the central region of our galaxy, the Lactee Way. The 52 assembled images cover an area that extends from Sagittarius (with the galactic center and nebulae M8 and M20) on the left, to the Scorpio, with the star Antares and the colored cloud of Rho Ophiuchus on the right. Image obtained with a Takahashi FSQ 106 Ed bezel at Cerro Paranal Observatory in Chile; 200 hours of poses. This image is a 1 billion pixel RGB mosaic of the galactic center region (340 million pixels in each R, V and B color). It shows the region spanning from Sagittarius (with the Milky Way center and M8/M20 area on the left) to Scorpius (with colorful Antares and Rho Ophiuchus region on the right) and cat paw nebula (red nebula at the bottom). This mosaic was assembled from 52 different sky fields made from 1200 individual images and 200 hours total exposure time, final image size is 24000x14000 pixels

Pipe Nebula in the Scorpion and Antares - Rho Ophiuchi - Pipe Dark Nebula to Antares and Rho Ophiuchus Two original gas - hypersensitized Fujicolor Super HG 400 negatives were exposed for 15 minutes each through an Nikon 85 mm f/1.4 telephoto lens working at f/2.8 on May 9, 1993 at 12:23 am and 12:38 am from Massai Point in Arizona. The two original negatives were then physically stacked in register and copied onto Kodak's 5072 film to produce a transparency. The transparency was then scanned and digitally enhanced in Photoshop

Molecular cloud B 68 in Ophiuchus seen in infrared - False - colour composite based on a visible (here rendered as blue), a near - infrared (green) and an infrared (red) image. Since the light from stars behind the cloud is only visible at the longest (infrared) wavelengths, they appear red. At a distance of only 410 light - years, Barnard 68 is one of the nearest dark clouds. Its size is about 12,500 AU (= 2 million km; 1 Astronomical Unit [AU] = 150 million km), or just about the same as the so - called “” Oort Cloud””” of long - period comets that surrounds the solar system. The temperature of Barnard 68 is 16 Kelvin (- 257* C) The total mass of the cloud is about twice that of the Sun

Dark stars and nebulae in Sagittarius and Ophiuchus - Dark Nebulae in Sagittarius and Scorpius - Dark nebulae on the edge of the Pipe nebula. This complex of dust clouds that block the light of the stars is located between the Sagittarius and the Scorpio, near the center of our lactee road. Also visible, the nebulae emitted from the Lagoon, Trifide, and Omega. Image obtained with Canon 20Da, 50 mm f/1.4, 6 x 5 min ISO 1600 poses. This amazing complex of dark nebulae and dust in Sagittarius and Ophiuchus lies near the central bulge of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Dark nebulae are non - luminous clouds of obscuring matter and dust which block the light from stars behind them. Many of the dark nebulae seen here are listed in E.E. Barnard's catalog of dark nebulae and are given a “” B” designation, such as B72, the Snake Nebula. Almost the entire complex of dark nebulae seen on the right hand side of the image make up the “Dark Horse and Rider””. The Pipe Nebula, Lynds Dark Nebula 1773,

Also visible, the nebulae emitted from the Lagoon, Trifide, and Omega. Image obtained with Canon 20Da, 50 mm f/1.4, 6 x 5 min ISO 1600 poses. This amazing complex of dark nebulae and dust in Sagittarius and Ophiuchus lies near the central bulge of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Dark nebulae are non - luminous clouds of obscuring matter and dust which block the light from stars behind them. Many of the dark nebulae seen here are listed in E.E. Barnard's catalog of dark nebulae and are given a “” B” designation, such as B72, the Snake Nebula. Almost the entire complex of dark nebulae seen on the right hand side of the image make up the “Dark Horse and Rider””. The Pipe Nebula, Lynds Dark Nebula 1773,

Young stars in Rho Ophiuchi - Young stars in Rho Ophiuchi - Image of the central part of Rho Ophiuchi obtained in infrared by the Spitzer space telescope. Rho Ophiuchi is a vast dark cloud of molecular hydrogen located 407 years - light from Earth in the constellations of Ophiuchus and Scorpio. More than 300 young stars aged only 300,000 years have been observed. On this picture in false colors highlighting the temperature differences present in this cloud, the younger stars appear in red, the more evolute stars in blue. Newborn stars peek out from beneath their natal blanket of dust in this dynamic image of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud from Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope. Called “” Rho Oph””” by astronomers, it's one of the closest star - forming regions to our own solar system. Located near the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus, the nebula is about 407 light years away from Earth. Rho Oph is a complex made up of a large main cloud of molecular hydrogen, a key molecule allowing new

Planetary nebula NGC 6369 in Ophiuchus/HST - NGC 6369 is known to amateur astronomers as the “” Little Ghost Nebula,”” because it appears as a small, ghostly cloud surrounding the faint, dying central star. NGC 6369 lies in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus, at a distance estimated to be between about 2,000 and 5,000 light - years from Earth. When a star with a mass similar to that of our own Sun nears the end of its lifetime, it expands in size to become a red giant. The red - giant stage ends when the star expels its outer layers into space, producing a faintly glowing nebula. Astronomers call such an object a planetary nebula, because its round shape resembles that of a planet when viewed with a small telescope. The Hubble photograph of NGC 6369, captured with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in February 2002, reveals remarkable details of the ejection process that are not visible from ground - based telescopes because of the blurring produced by the Earth's atmo

Constellation Scorpio - Milky way and constellation of Scorpius - Scorpius is one of the few constellations whose star pattern resembles its name. The curved stinging tail is marked by the star Shahula, probably from the Arabic 'Al Shaulah' meaning 'raised tail', as seen in a scorpion. In the body of the scorpion lies Antares, meaning 'rival of Mars' for its reddish colour. The head of the scorpion is echoed in the star name Dschubba, meaning 'forehead'. However, the scorpion shape looks trucated in our photograph and it is. In ancient times it extended into what is now Libra, where the brightest stars (not seen here) still carry the resonant names Zeubenelgenubi (a1,2 Lib, the southern claw) and Zeubeneschamali (ss Lib, the northern claw). This celestial scorpion was sent by a jealous Artemis to kill Orion, who still fees the venomous insect: as Scorpius rises Orion sets, and vice - versa.

Planetary nebula M2 - 9 in Ophiuchus/HST - M2 - 9 is a striking example of a “” butterfly”” or a bipolar planetary nebula. Another more revealing name might be the “Twin Jet Nebula.”” If the nebula is sliced across the star, each side of it appears much like a pair of exhausts from jet engines. Indeed, because of the nebula's shape and the measured velocity of the gas, in excess of 200 miles per second, astronomers believe that the description as a super - super - sonic jet exhaust is quite apt. Ground - based studies have shown that the nebula's size increases with time, suggesting that the stellar outburst that formed the lobes occurred just 1,200 years ago. The central star in M2 - 9 is known to be one of a very close pair which orbit one another at perilously close distances. It is even possible that one star is being engulfed by the other. Astronomers suspect the gravity of one star pulls weakly bound gas from the surface of the other and flings it into a thin, dense disk which su

Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) in the Snake - detail - Young stars in the Eagle nebula - Detail on young stars located in the north - west part of the Eagle Nebula (M16). Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. This picture shows the northwestern part of the Eagle nebula (M16), well away from the centre, and features some very bright young stars that formed from the same cloud of material. These energetic toddlers are part of an open cluster and emit ultraviolet radiation that causes the surrounding nebula to glow. The star cluster is very bright and was discovered in the mid - eighteenth century. The nebula, however, is much more elusive and it took almost a further two decades for it to be first noted by Charles Messier in 1764. Although it is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, its official designation is Messier 16 and the cluster is also named NGC 6611. One spectacular area of the nebula (outside the field of view) has been nicknamed The Pillars of Creation”” ever since the Hubble S

Remains of the supernova Kepler in Ophiuchus - Nasa's three Great Observatories - - the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X - ray Observatory - joined forces to probe the expanding remains of a supernova, called Kepler's supernova remnant, first seen 400 years ago by sky watchers, including famous astronomer Johannes Kepler. The combined image unveils a bubble - shaped shroud of gas and dust that is 14 light - years wide and is expanding at 4 million miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per second). Observations from each telescope highlight distinct features of the supernova remnant, a fast - moving shell of iron - rich material from the exploded star, surrounded by an expanding shock wave that is sweeping up interstellar gas and dust. Each color in this image represents a different region of the electromagnetic spectrum, from X - rays to infrared light. The X - ray and infrared data cannot be seen with the human eye.
