mothernaturenetwork: The Arctic fox can be found in most Arctic ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere, even in Iceland where it is the only native land mammal. It arrived in Iceland during the last Ice Age, where it journeyed over the frozen water to the volcanic island. This fox species is endangered in Scandinavia where it has been strictly protected for decades. 13 animals of the arctic Earth is filled with magnificently beautiful creates, like this one…a favorite of mine.
the-star-stuff: Beautiful New Image of a Rare Blue Nebula This wispy blue cloud of gas and dust is a star-forming region surrounding the star R Coronae Australis, which is about 420 light-years away. The new portrait was taken with the Wide Field Imager at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. The image, a combination of 12 separate snapshots in three different colors, depicts a young family of stars still embedded in and interacting with the cloud of dust and gas from which they formed. The image spans about 4 light-years, and focuses on a nascent star-forming region located in the small, tiara-shaped constellation Coronae Australis, the Southern Crown. The infant stars there give off hot, intense radiation, and the surrounding gas and dust either reflects or absorbs this radiation and re-emits it at a different wavelength. While most nebulae glow with a characteristic red tint, the R Coronae Australis region takes an unusual blue hue. The stars are about the mass of the sun, and don’t emit enough ultraviolet light to strip the surrounding hydrogen gas of its electrons, which would produce the familiar red glow. The blue fog is mostly due to starlight reflecting off small dust particles. It’s a rare blue one!!  A beautiful show put on by magnificent space!
‘the moon is traveling around the Earth at over 2,000 miles (3,200 km) per hour, at its average distance of 239,000 miles (382,000 km) from Earth, its orbital motion is barely perceptible.’  Amazing fact…I ♥ mothernaturenetwork: 10 misconceptions about astronomy debunkedFrom fallacies about meteor showers and comets to total solar eclipses, here are the most popular misconceptions in skywatching and astronomy.
