¿Qué ha sucedido en el centro de esta galaxia? Vastos y dramáticos cinturones de polvo cruzan el centro de la inusual galaxia elíptica Centaurus A. Estos cinturones son tan densos que casi ocultan por completo el núcleo de la galaxia en luz visible. Esto es especialmente raro, pues las estrellas antiguas y la forma ovalada de Cen A muestran características típicas de una galaxia elíptica gigante, un tipo de galaxia que usualmente no tiene mucho polvo oscuro. En esta imagen profunda se observa una compleja red de gas y polvo en primer plano, así como conchas de estrellas poco brillantes y un chorro que se proyecta hacia la parte superior derecha. Cen A, también conocida como NGC 5128, es seguramente el resultado de la colisión de galaxias que creó muchas estrellas jóvenes y generadoras de polvo. Sin embargo, aún se están investigando detalles sobre el origen del centro activo y los icónicos cinturones de polvo centrales de Cen A. Se encuentra a solo 13 millones de años luz, siendo la galaxia activa más cercana a nosotros.

A Message from Earth

🔭 A Message from Earth

#APOD #NASA

¿Qué intentan decirnos estos terrícolas? El mensaje presentado fue enviado desde la Tierra hacia el cúmulo estelar globular M13 en 1974. Durante la inauguración de una mejora en el Observatorio de Arecibo, que en ese momento era el radiotelescopio único más grande del mundo, se transmitió una cadena de unos y ceros que representan este diagrama. Este intento de comunicación extraterrestre fue más ceremonial, ya que la humanidad regularmente transmite señales de radio y televisión hacia el espacio de manera accidental. Aunque este mensaje fuera recibido, M13 está tan lejos que deberíamos esperar casi 50,000 años para escuchar una respuesta. El mensaje contiene algunos datos sencillos sobre la humanidad y su conocimiento: de izquierda a derecha se muestran números del uno al diez, átomos como hidrógeno y carbono, algunas moléculas interesantes, ADN, un ser humano con su descripción, los conceptos básicos de nuestro Sistema Solar y aspectos básicos del telescopio emisor. Actualmente, se están llevando a cabo diversas búsquedas de inteligencia extraterrestre.

Robert H. Goddard, considerado el padre de la cohetería moderna, nació en Worcester, Massachusetts en 1882. A los 16 años leyó el clásico de ciencia ficción 'La guerra de los mundos' de H.G. Wells y soñó con viajes espaciales. Para 1926 había diseñado, construido y volado el primer cohete de combustible líquido del mundo. Lanzado hace 100 años, el 16 de marzo de 1926, desde la granja de su tía Effie en Auburn, Massachusetts, el cohete llamado 'Nell' alcanzó una altitud de 41 pies en un vuelo que duró aproximadamente 2 segundos y medio. En esta foto posada, Goddard aparece junto al cohete de 10 pies de altura, sosteniendo el marco del soporte de lanzamiento. Para lograr un vuelo estable sin aletas, el motor pesado del cohete estaba ubicado en la parte superior, alimentado por líneas desde los tanques de oxígeno líquido y gasolina en la parte inferior. Reconocido ampliamente como un experimentador dotado y un genio de la ingeniería, sus cohetes estaban adelantados a su tiempo. Goddard recibió más de 200 patentes en tecnología de cohetes, la mayoría póstumas tras su muerte en 1945. Un cohete de combustible líquido construido siguiendo los principios desarrollados por Goddard llevó a los humanos a la Luna en 1969.
