The Eagle Nebula is part of a diffuse emission nebula, or H II region. This region of active current star formation is about 7000 light-years distant. Several spires of gas that can be seen coming off the nebula.

This graphic presents a view of Pluto and Charon as they would appear if placed slightly above Earth’s surface and viewed from a great distance.
Recent measurements obtained by New Horizons indicate that Pluto has a diameter of 2370 km, 18.5% that of Earth’s, while Charon has a diameter of 1208 km, 9.5% that of Earth’s.

This Is The Closest Photo Yet of Pluto From A NASA Spacecraft Flyby
After nine-and-a-half years, 3 billion miles and heart-stopping drops in communication, the moment has arrived: New Horizons, NASA’s spacecraft designed to explore the furthest reaches of our solar system, passed Pluto at 8:15 a.m. EST on Tuesday.

Ancient Star Raises Prospects of Intelligent Life
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 09, 2015
Can life survive for billions of years longer than the expected timeline on Earth? As scientists discover older and older solar systems, it’s likely that before long we’ll find an ancient planet in a habitable zone. Knowing if life is possible on this exoplanet would have immense implications for habitability and the development of ancient life, one researcher says. In January, a group led Full article
New Hor-Eyes-On Pluto
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, after a journey of more than nine years, will make its closest fly-by of the mysterious dwarf planet Pluto early this summer. Just about 100 days to go!
Today, NASA released this new movie of Pluto and its moon Charon stitched together from telescope images captured by the New Horizons craft. It shows what could be a bright polar cap (which would likely be nitrogen ice) and some significant color variation on its surface indicating there’s probably some interesting terrain features down there (Pluto looks lumpy in this movie, but that’s just an illusion caused by the light/dark patches).
Check out the New Horizons mission page to stay up to date as we fly closer to everyone’s favorite non-planet. The pictures are only going to get better over the next couple months!

Galaxy Arp 273
Arp 273 is a group of interacting galaxies, lying 300 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was first described in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, compiled by Halton Arp in 1966.

NASA prepares for key pre-flight test of second LDSD vehicle. Last June, NASA’s potential next-generation atmospheric reentry vehicle made its maiden test flight above Hawaii. Now, the second Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator vehicle is preparing for its flight in June. Before the agency sends the test vehicle to Hawaii for its flight, it first must complete a series of tests at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where it is being assembled. One of these is a spin table test to ensure the vehicle is properly balanced.
This spin test will occur at later this afternoon, with the agency providing a live video stream of the event. The hour-long coverage of the test will begin on JPL’s UStream channel at 2:30 PM EDT. Once testing at JPL is complete, the vehicle will be shipped to the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range Facility on the island of Kauai. The first LDSD vehicle that launched in June of 2014 is still undergoing post-flight analysis and inspection. After this summer’s flight, two more tests remain before the completion of the program. LDSD aims to provide a more efficient method of landing heavy payloads on the surface of planets with thick atmospheres. The inflatable ballute, known as the Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator, will be coupled with the largest supersonic parachute ever flown, will decelerate incoming spacecraft to speeds allowing for a safe touchdown.
This Supersonic Disk Sail Parachute did not properly deploy on the inaugural LDSD flight and will be tested again on this second flight. At 33.5 meters in diameter, it is twice the size of the largest supersonic parachute previously flown on the Mars Science Laboratory mission in 2012. For more information on the LDSD program, check out the directorate’s fact sheet. To watch coverage of the test - scheduled for 2:30 PM EDT - click here.

Today, Google honours Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist and chemist known to the world as the inventor of the first electrical battery! This doodle was done by Mark Holmes for Volta’s 270th birthday. Volta’s breakthrough came in 1799 when he took two different metals, zinc and silver, and experimented with placing them together. A zinc disc was put down, then a silver disc, and finally a disc of damp cardboard. This was repeated several times to create a pile of discs. Volta’s electrical pile was the first device that was able to produce a reasonably consistent source of electricity. Read more about the discovery, inculding the famous frog story, and the doodle here
Volta’s work even influenced modern neuroscience! Check out this video from BrainCraft to discover how giving a dead frog an electric shock led to today’s futuristic (and maybe even risky) electric brain enhancement technologies:

Get ready, the teeny robots are coming…
Modeled after hyper-mobile insects like ants and cockroaches, these robots can run, jump and scamper. The possibilities are endless as to what tiny bots could accomplish: look for survivors in disaster wreckage, inspect bridges for flaws, even swim through our veins and perform surgery. And, of course, take over the world.

These are awesome!
…but they are also so cute!
I have a problem…I think everything when teeny or tiny is all of the sudden adorable. I’m going to blame it on evolution biology.
