ruthiesgotopinions: A solar eclipse, from space Some people travel thousands of miles to see a total eclipse of the sun – when the full moon passes between the sun and Earth, temporarily blotting the sun from the sky. Travelers on the Mir space station captured this rare image of the spectacle as seen from space on Aug. 11, 1999. For Nemiroff, it’s a fantastic educational tool: “People suddenly understand that when the moon covers the sun, there’s a shadow on the earth – and if you stand in the shadow, that’s where you see the total eclipse of the sun,” he says.

brightestofcentaurus: Arp 87 Arp 87 is a pair of interacting galaxies located about 300 million light years away in the constellation Leo, the Lion. The two galaxies are spiral galaxy NGC 3808 seen face on in the the right side of the image and companion spiral galaxy NGC 3808A seen edge on at the left. NGC 3808A has an odd rotating ring of stars and material perpendicular to the galactic plane, called a polar ring. The two galaxies appear joined by a swath of material 75,000 light years long. This is strong evidence that the two galaxies passed close to each other, undergoing strong mutual gravity. Further evidence is found in the high number of young, blue stars in the face on galaxy on the right that were formed in a burst of star formation. Eventually, multiple passes should eventually culminate in the two galaxies merging into one system. Image from NASA, information from NASA and HubbleSite.
