Astronomy picture of the day 30-09-2014 - A Full Circle Rainbow over Australia
Image Credit & Copyright: Colin Leonhardt (Birdseye View Photography)
Explanation: Have you ever seen an entire rainbow? From the ground, typically, only the top portion of a rainbow is visible because directions toward the ground have fewer raindrops. From the air, though, the entire 360 degree circle of a rainbow is more commonly visible.Pictured here, a full circle rainbow was captured over Cottesloe Beach near Perth, Australia last year by a helicopter flying between a setting sun and a downpour. An observer-dependent phenomenon primarily caused by the internal reflection of sunlight by raindrops, the 84-degree diameter rainbow followed the helicopter, intact, for about 5 kilometers. As a bonus, a second rainbow that was more faint and color-reversed was visible outside the first.

Astronomy picture of the day 29-09-2014 - Unusual Rocks near Pahrump Hills on Mars
Image Credit: NASA,JPL-Caltech,MSSS
Explanation: How did these Martian rocks form? As the robotic Curiosity rover has approached Pahrump Hills on Mars, it has seen an interesting and textured landscape dotted by some unusual rocks. The featured image shows a curiously round rock spanning about two centimeters across. Seemingly a larger version of numerous spherules dubbed blueberries found by the Opportunity rover on Mars in 2004, what caused this roundness remains unknown. Possibilities include frequent tumbling in flowing water, sprayed molten rock in a volcanic eruption, or a concretion mechanism. The inset image, taken a few days later, shows another small but unusually shaped rock structure.As Curiosity rolls around and up Mount Sharp, different layers of the landscape will be imaged and studied to better understand the ancient history of the region and to investigate whether Mars could once have harbored life.

Astronomy picture of the day 28-09-2014 - Two Black Holes Dancing in 3C 75

Explanation: What's happening at the center of active galaxy 3C 75? The two bright sources at the center ofthis composite x-ray (blue)/radio(pink) image are co-orbiting supermassive black holes powering the giant radio source3C 75. Surrounded by multimillion degree x-ray emitting gas, and blasting out jets of relativistic particles thesupermassive black holesare separated by 25,000 light-years. At the cores oftwo merging galaxies in theAbell 400 galaxy cluster they are some 300 million light-years away.Astronomers conclude that these two supermassiveblack holes are bound together by gravity in a binary systemin part becausethe jets' consistent swept back appearance is most likely due to their common motion as they speed through the hot cluster gas at 1200 kilometers per second. Such spectacular cosmic mergers are thought to be common in crowdedgalaxy cluster environments in the distant universe. In their final stages the mergers are expected to be intense sources ofgravitational waves.
