Milky Way Shows 84 Million Stars in 9 Billion Pixels

Side Note: The two images shown above are mere crop outs from ESA’s recent hit: The 9 Billion Pixel Image of 84 Million Stars. These two focus on the bright center of the image for the purpose of highlighting what a peak at 84,000,000 stars looks like.

Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile have released a breathtaking new photograph showing the central area of our Milky Way galaxy. The photograph shows a whopping 84 million stars in an image measuring 108500×81500, which contains nearly 9 billion pixels.

It’s actually a composite of thousands of individual photographs shot with the observatory’s VISTA survey telescope, the same camera that captured the amazing 55-hour exposure. Three different infrared filters were used to capture the different details present in the final image.

The VISTA’s camera is sensitive to infrared light, which allows its vision to pierce through much of the space dust that blocks the view of ordinary optical telescope/camera systems.

simplypotterheads:

In February, Scholastic revealed they would be revamping the covers of our beloved series for the 15th anniversary of the release of Sorcerer’s Stone by releasing a preview of the book’s new art. Today, artist Kazu Kibuishi, who is responsible for the redesigns, has revealed the second book cover while on-site at Book Expo America. We’re excited to see the rest of the covers, so far they’ve been gorgeous!

It’s weird that pirates would go from shore to shore looking for buried treasure when the real treasure was in the friendships they were making

This is my favorite thing.

Some practice.

These amazing images look more like paintings from the Baroque era than they do like underwater photographs — but that’s exactly what they are. Photographer and artist Christy Lee Rogers first discovered her visual style (which is often compared to that of the Baroque painter Caravaggio) photographing a friend in her pool several years ago.

“Do you remember the hardest you’ve ever laughed?”
“Yes, but it’s stupid and simple.”
“What was it?”
“My sisters and I were dancing around the living room in our socks, and I tried to do a kick, but ended up throwing my legs out from under me and landing on my butt.”

I love people.

Harry and Hermione made their way to the back of the room, where there was a small, vacant table between the window and a handsome Christmas tree, which stood next to the fireplace. Ron came back five minutes later, carrying three foaming tankards of hot butterbeer.

“Merry Christmas!” he said happily, raising his tankard.

Harry drank deeply. It was the most delicious thing he’d ever tasted and seemed to heat every bit of him from the inside.

—Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter 10

This was one of the most vivid and touching moments for me while reading this book. It’s simple and heartwarming, just the way I love it.
