The 2012 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition winners  Australian based photographer Martin Pugh has claimed the top prize in the Royal Observatory’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition for the second time, after originally winning the accolade back in 2009. As well as securing the £1,500 top prize, his image takes pride of place in the exhibition of winning photographs opening at the Royal Observatory Greenwich on 20 September.

Wasn't that picture made by the Hubble, pointed somewhere near the big dipper? It should be in the Fornax constellation in the southern sky, according to NASA. Tullio |

Everyone, Famous for dazzling the eye, the Hubble Space Telescope may blow a few minds today too, by peering deeper into the universe—and therefore further back in time—than ever before. 13.6 billion years ago. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/09/120926-hubble-space-telescope-deepest-most-detailed-view-science-nasa/ |

 The famous Betelgeuse is a star in serious trouble. Not only is it rapidly approaching the end of its life, it’s also speeding toward a honking huge interstellar wall! Fortunately, this wall is made of dust, so it probably rates quite low on the red supergiant’s list of concerns. http://news.discovery.com/space/astronomy/betelgeuse-rip-interstellar-wall-130124.htm |

i won't be around in four billion years. I would like to know how it turns out.  The ring-like swirls of cool dust filling the Andromeda galaxy stand out colorfully in these new images from ESA's Herschel Space Observatory. Read about it |
