talkingOwl User ID: 841845 Canada 12/15/2009 05:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.sky-map.org] Quoting: ThesonofhendrixOfficial explanation; Adrift in the rich star fields of the constellation Cygnus, this lovely, symmetric bubble nebula was only recently recognized and may not yet appear in astronomical catalogs. In fact, amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich identified it as a nebula on July 6 in his images of the complex Cygnus region that included the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). He subsequently notified the International Astronomical Union. Only eleven days later the same object was independently identified by Mel Helm at Sierra Remote Observatories, imaged by Keith Quattrocchi and Helm, and also submitted to the IAU as a potentially unknown nebula. Their final composite image is seen here, including narrow-band image data that highlights the nebula's delicate outlines. What is the newly recognized bubble nebula? Like the Crescent Nebula itself, this cosmic bubble could be blown by winds from a massive Wolf-Rayet star, or it could be a spherically-shaped planetary nebula, a final phase in the life of a sun-like star. ___________________________________________________________ Why has this only just been discoverd and why did sombody else spot it just 11 days later?? [link to apod.nasa.gov] OP, looks more like a cloaked planet or something of similar size than a wormhole. |

Quoting: ThesonofhendrixWhy has this only just been discoverd and why did sombody else spot it just 11 days later?? [link to apod.nasa.gov] It's a vast universe out there. The second discovery (confirmation) was done eleven days after notification. Notification of findings to have independent confirmation is quite normal. So perhaps the coordinates were given, and some organization ran the calculations, looked it up against theories, anomalies etc. and confirmed the existence of the nebula. |
