Quasar HE0450-2958

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2007/16/background/ >"Quasars have been so elusive and mysterious that the hunt to define them would have taxed even the superior analytical skills of detective Sherlock Holmes. Since their discovery in 1963, astronomers have been trying to crack the mystery of how these compact dynamos of light and other radiation, which lie at the outer reaches of the universe, produce so much energy. Quasars are no larger than our solar system but outshine galaxies of hundreds of billions of stars. These light beacons have left trails of evidence and plenty of clues, but scientists have only just begun to understand their behavior. Astronomers using Hubble tracked down the "homes" of quasars to the centers of faraway galaxies. Hubble's observations bolstered the idea that quasars are powered by a gush of radiation unleashed by black holes in the cores of these galaxies. "<

Something slams thru Saturn's "F" ring

2009-09-23T05:11:42Z

Perfect alignment of the transient object with the ring combined with the timing + camera angle of this snapshot makes this event especially interesting I think. Details are at JPL in Cassini images Search for: "Punching through the F Ring"
