The Pleiades: Closest Star Cluster to Earth | Kitt Peak National Observatory Support FriendsofNASA.org | High-res image: https://lnkd.in/gru9AWu9 This image was obtained with the wide-field view of the Mosaic camera on the WIYN 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona. The Pleiades are an open cluster easily visible to the naked eye. The cluster is dominated by several hot, luminous and massive stars. The blue nebulosity surrounding the brightest stars are due to blue light from the stars scattering off of dust grains in the interstellar gas between us and the stars. The cluster is also known as the 'Seven Sisters'. The image was generated with observations in the B (blue), V (green), and I (red) filters. In this image, North is right, East is up. The Pleiades is located approximately 440 light-years away towards the constellation of Taurus (The Bull). The cluster’s central region spans about eight light-years, with the diameter of The Pleiades as a whole estimated at 43 light-years. The Pleiades is a very prominent sight to the unaided eye during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, while in summer the cluster is best seen by observers in southern latitudes. Most of the cluster’s members are very young, hot blue stars formed within the last 100 million years. So far, about 1,000 stars have been confirmed. The hint of bluish nebulosity around the brightest stars originates from a cloud of interstellar gas and dust that the cluster is passing through at the moment. The tiny particles of dust scatter the blue light from the nearest stars more favorably than other colors, so the region appears to twinkle in blue. The cluster contains many brown dwarfs, or failed stars. These objects, though more massive than planets, do not possess enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion reactions in their cores and burst into life as bright stars. Credit: NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/T.A.

A thunder of jets in an open sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful ‘Hi’! (theme song of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon - https://lnkd.in/gSe_6-U9) While flying squirrels are amazing creatures, unlike the cartoon Rocky they can not actually fly. However, they can glide up to 150 feet from tree to tree using a fold of skin, called a patagium, that extends from their nimble wrists to their flexible ankles. They glide at angles of 30 to 40 degrees and can even maneuver around obstacles in midair. Also unlike the intrepid Rocky, they are nocturnal and thus are rarely seen by people. Amazingly, it has recently been discovered that under ultraviolet light all three species of New World flying squirrels (genus Glaucomys) are fluorescent in varying intensities of pink! The range of the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) and the Humboldt's flying squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) overlap in Western Washington. The two species look very similar, but genetic analysis has shown that they are distinct species that were separated during past glacial expansion. If you are not already doing so, please follow us to see more camera trap videos and to get updates on how we are applying machine learning to accelerate conservation efforts. #WildlifeConservation #AIForConservation #Wildlife #CameraTraps #FlyingSquirrels

Spacetech startup Pixxel has inked a deal with the Ministry of Defence under the Innovations for Defense Excellence (iDEX) scheme to manufacture miniaturised multi-payload satellites for the Indian Air Force👇 Pixxel’s miniaturised satellite will be capable of carrying electro-optical, infrared, synthetic aperture radar, and hyperspectral payloads of up to 150 kgs. Founded in 2019 by Awais Ahmed and Kshitij Khandelwal, Pixxel is building a constellation of hyperspectral earth imaging satellites to provide insights to sectors like agriculture, mining, environment, among others. The startup plans to launch six satellites, named Fireflies, in 2024 and 18 more by 2025. It was earlier reported that it would launch the first three satellites in June this year. The satellites will weigh around 50 kg each, significantly higher than the 15 kg weight of the demo satellites, Shakuntala and Anand, launched by Pixxel in 2022. 📎 To read more in detail, click here: https://lnkd.in/gtvSkKTq #news #spacetech #startup #defence

😲 OMEN HAS HOW MANY RESPONSE MODES?? 😲 The FireTech OMEN Warning Lightbar has 4 response modes: 🚨Responding day 🚨Responding night 🚨On scene day 🚨On scene night These response modes are triggered by an E-master input and a park brake input that tells whether you’re on scene or responding. As for day/night, we have light sensors in both the left and right-side modules. Those sensors calculate how much light is hitting each side of the light bar! The OMEN and HVC Lighting System is the smartest lighting system on the market: Every fixture has its own microcontroller, and every fixture can make independent decisions about what intensity it should be operating at based on the input data that the fixtures are receiving. 🫨 https://hubs.li/Q02ryPPH0

What does it take to be a Slinger on the infrastructure? For OTM or PTMP, all learners must hold CPCS A40 for Slinger to be awarded on sentinel as a competence alongside PTS For OTP, all learners must hold OTP Core and a valid host machine I.e MC DPV, MC MEWP or MC MH. This one often causes confusion for sponsors!! Our next OTP Slinger course is 7th-8th May in Ripley, Derbyshire RTAS0462 [email protected] TRAIN. GAIN.
