A Chameleon Sky
 The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

Started Lifting AgainI started lifting again. Rob recently decided to setup a gym in his basement. I was able to get my brothers weights for Rob and now I am taking advantage of them (o: Started last night. A light workout to get things working again. I suprised myself and was able to bench more than 100lbs. That doesnt sound like much but I only weigh 130 so thats 80% of my body weight. not too shabby for the first start. I am also trying to eat correctly to gain muscle/wieght. we will see how that goes. |
