Five Minutes for Freedom

Posted by Kris Baldwin  Published in Uncategorized

Honestly, I always kind of thought that it was okay to have a more protected environment regarding the Internet in K-12 school settings.  But then I listened to a discussion about access versus control (again) and I realized something.  Filtering sometimes goes beyond protection to truly interfere with learning.  And that’s when my age old [...]

NASA Image of the Day

A Chameleon Sky

 
The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.
