This antique star jewelry box, a global cluster called NGC6397, shines with the light of hundreds of thousands of stars. The blue stars in the cluster are nearing the end of their lives, they have already run out of their hydrogen fuel, and they are shining. Now they convert helium into energy in their nuclei, which melts at higher temperatures and turns blue. Astronomers used the NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope to measure distances of 7,800 light-years from the cluster, one of the closest global clusters to Earth.

They are images captured by various instruments built by man to observe the universe, trapped on Earth or wandering in space.

Conquest of Mars

This second week of February 2021 marked two successful missions to Mars: the first orbit Al Amal (Belief in the Arabic Language) Study from the United Arab Emirates. On February 8 – and Tianwen-1, The first Chinese orbital device to succeed in this maneuver on 10 February.

A NASA, The United States Space Agency, is scheduled to orbit on February 18 and then on the perseverance of a new robot on Mars soil.

Exomars Mission

There are also plans for Mars in Europe: mission Exomers It is a project of the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with Russian astronauts Roscosmos.

A two-phase project, the first of which has been underway since March 2016, while the second phase is scheduled to begin in 2022.

Some images are captured by a space telescope Hubble, Go into space already for 30 years and amaze us with the things he “sees”.

Copernicus Mission

A International Space Station (ISS) is the largest scientific laboratory built outside the Earth. It has been in orbit for 22 years at an altitude of about 400 km. The first volume was launched on November 20, 1998, but the evolution continues. Man is the largest structure that created the earth through the partnership that unites the “rival” nations.
