Title Gemini North Images Bow Shock Near Galactic Center
Explanation What's going on near the center of our Galaxy? Glowing across the electromagnetic spectrum [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html ], the center of our Milky Way Galaxy [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/milky_way.html ] is thought to be home to massive stars, rotating gas rings [ http://www.astronomica.org/Gallery/infrared/infrared23.html ], and a massive black hole [ http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/staff/hfalcke/bh/sld1.html ]. Now the central Galactic zoo [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000120.html ] just got larger. The 8-meter Gemini North telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990629.html ] in Hawaii [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap980725.html ] in its first scientific observation has just imaged the Galactic Center [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990911.html ] and revealed a star only three light years out colliding with gas and dust [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990509.html ]. The bow shock [ http://www.windows.ucar.edu/glossary/bow_shock.html ], similar to that caused by a boat moving through water, appears arrow-shaped and is visible on the upper right of the above photograph [ http://www.gemini.edu/galactic.html ] taken in representative infrared [ http://www.gemini.anu.edu.au/public/infrared.html ] colors. Gemini [ http://www.gemini.edu/ ]'s new flexible-mirror [ http://www.gemini.edu/public/adaptive.html ] technology has imaged this structure [ http://www.gemini.edu/project/announcements/press/2000-2.html ], known as IRS8 [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001017.html http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1994A%26A...292L...9A ], in finer detail than ever before.

Rendezvous Docking Simulator
Title Rendezvous Docking Simulator
Full Description Multiple exposure of Rendezvous Docking Simulator.

Title AFGL 2591: A Massive Star Acts Up

The massive star is expelling outer layers of dust [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010813.html ]-laced gas as gravity pulls inner material toward the surface. AFGL 2591 [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2000ApJ...541L..63M ] is estimated to be about one million years old -- much younger than our own Sun [ http://www.nineplanets.org/sol.html ]'s 5 billion-year age -- and has created a nebula over 500 times the diameter of our Solar System [ http://www.nineplanets.org/overview.html ] in just the past 10,000 years. The above image [ http://www.gemini.edu/project/announcements/press/2001-1.html ] in infrared light [ http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Outreach/Edu/infrared.html ] is one of the first from the new NIRI instrument [ http://www.gemini.edu/sciops/instruments/niri/NIRIIndex.html ] mounted on one of the largest ground-based optical telescopes [ http://www.seds.org/billa/bigeyes.html ] in the world: Gemini North [ http://www.gemini.edu/public/ ]. Sharp details are discernable that are blocked by opaque dust [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990509.html ] in visible-light [ http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l1/emspectrum.html ] images. Close inspection of the image [ http://www.gemini.edu/project/announcements/press/2001-1.html ] reveals at least four expanding rings, indicating an episodic origin to the mysterious activity. AFGL 2591 lies about 3000 light years [ http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/cosmic_distance.html ] away toward the constellation [ http://www.att.virtualclassroom.org/vc99/vc_04/cons_stars/cons/hist_cons.html ] of Cygnus [ http://www.allthesky.com/constellations/cygnus/ ].
