The Mystery Object May Be the Clue

Columbia, the space shuttle launched on January 16^th, will remain a memoir to everyone after the disaster happened to the astronauts it was carrying. However, the investigations are still going on the tragedy. They figured a mystery object that was assumed to be detached from the left wing of the spacecraft, after 24 hours of its launch. It slowly entered into the earth’s lower orbit and burned up in the atmosphere over the South Pacific 3 days later. And investigators think this could be somehow related with crash of the spacecraft. The radar blip from the foot-long fragment was so weak that the space trackers did not even notice it during the flight. Only after Columbia was lost on Feb. 1 did they manually review the 3,000 raw records from their worldwide tracking network. It took five days to find the radar signature. The object might have something to tell to the investigators about the crash of the spacecraft and also about the inefficiency of NASA to have that identified only after losing the astronauts. However, they are still trying to argue that it was not their fault at all.

It’s Awesome to Watch the Beauty of Space

Everyone has a desire and eagerness to know what really lies in the space. The invention and development of highly sophisticated cameras has made the scientists and the astronauts easy to taken thousands of pictures in the space. The space pictures not only help the scientists to do their research for finding the hidden secrets of nature but also for the common people to know about what the space really looks like. Some times we get an opportunity to see some exciting things on those pictures which we cannot see through our naked eye. The pictures are taken some thousands of miles away from the earth.

The most fascinating thing about the space pictures is that they show us the immaculate beauty of space. The cloud formations, the Tropical thunderstorms formed over the ocean, the beautiful sparkling stars and the moving comets it’s all amazing to watch.

There are things in the space which are beyond our imagination, the gigantic rocks and the colliding objects. Kevin w. Kelley an artist, best-selling author and entrepreneur who has effectively translated complex information about our existence into simple but powerful visualization that convey deep intuitive understanding.

One of those Images of the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82) is remarkable for its bright blue disk, webs of shredded clouds, and fiery-looking plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out of its central regions.

Spiral Galaxy M101 which is twice the size of the Milky Way shows stunning features of stars and dust seen along the galaxy's face-on disk. It is quite interesting and exciting to see the space objects through these pictures which show us the true beauty of the nature.
