Conhece todos os miradouros em Lisboa?... Miradouro da Rocha do Conde de Obidos

Miradouro da Rocha do Conde de Óbidos, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisboa


Officially called Jardim 9 de Abril, the garden in front of the Ancient Art Museum is also known as Rocha Conde de Óbidos. It’s a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the harbor and 25 de Abril Bridge, at the top of a staircase leading down to the bustling Avenida 24 de Julho.
O Jardim 9 de Abril, em frente ao Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, também é conhecido por Rocha do Conde de Óbidos. É um belo miradouro com vista para o porto e para a Ponte 25 de Abril, junto à escadaria que desce até à movimentada Avenida 24 de Julho.

Explanation: A broad expanse of glowing gas and dust presents a bird-like visage to astronomers from planet Earth, suggesting its popular moniker - The Seagull Nebula. This portrait of the cosmic bird covers a 1.6 degree wide swath across the plane of the Milky Way, near the direction of Sirius, alpha star of the constellation Canis Major. Of course, the region includes objects with other catalog designations: notably NGC 2327, a compact, dusty emission region with an embedded massive star that forms the bird's head (aka the Parrot Nebula, above center). Dominated by the reddish glow of atomic hydrogen, the complex of gas and dust clouds with bright young stars spans over 100 light-years at an estimated 3,800 light-year distance.

Explanation: Driven by the explosion of a massive star, supernova remnant Puppis A is blasting into the surrounding interstellar medium about 7,000 light-years away. At that distance, this colorful telescopic field based on broadband and narrowband optical image data is about 60 light-years across. As the supernova remnant expands into its clumpy, non-uniform surroundings, shocked filaments of oxygen atoms glow in green-blue hues. Hydrogen and nitrogen are in red. Light from the initial supernova itself, triggered by the collapse of the massive star's core, would have reached Earth about 3,700 years ago. The Puppis A remnant is actually seen through outlying emission from the closer but more ancient Vela supernova remnant, near the crowded plane of our Milky Way galaxy. Still glowing across the electromagnetic spectrum Puppis A remains one of the brightest sources in the X-ray sky.
