COLUMBIA, Md., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Astronomers are still trying to understand how stars and galaxies formed in the early universe.

Key Points: 
  • COLUMBIA, Md., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Astronomers are still trying to understand how stars and galaxies formed in the early universe.
  • Data from SOFIA suggestthat this nebula may be representative of how stars formed in the early universe.
  • The expansion is triggering the birth of stellar neighbors at breakneck speeds and revealing the nebula is younger than previously believed.
  • The surrounding gas clouds are getting compressed as the nebula pushes into them triggering the birth of new stars near the clouds' edges."

Key Points: 
  • and MOUNTAIN VIEW,Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --What's fueling the massive ejection of gas and dust out of the Cigar galaxy, otherwise known at Messier 82?
  • SOFIA, a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center, DLR, previously studied the direction of magnetic fields close to the core of Messier 82, as the Cigar galaxy is officially known.
  • These extended magnetic fields may help explain how gas and dust spotted by space telescopes have traveled so far away from the galaxy.
  • Using SOFIA's existing observations of central magnetic fields, the research team modified this method to estimate the magnetic field 25,000 light-years around the Cigar galaxy.

CGG Prepares for Nebula Phase II, in Deepwater Brazil

Key Points: 
  • CGG Prepares for Nebula Phase II, in Deepwater Brazil
    CGG is pleased to announce that Nebula 3D Phase I is nearing completion and acquisition will soon commence on Phase II.
  • Nebula 3D is a large, long-offset BroadSeis survey located in the prospective Campos and Santos Basins offshore Brazil.
  • Phase I covers approximately 17,700 square kilometers on the southeastern side of the survey area providing 3D data coverage where currently no other 3D data exists.
  • The Nebula Phase II dual azimuth data will better illuminate pre-salt events and address significant challenges posed by thick volcanic layers in this portion of the survey.

  • and HONOLULU, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Universities Space Research Association today announced that SOFIA revealed a new view of the Swan Nebula showing that parts of it formed separately to create the swan-like shape seen today.
  • The new image from theStratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, is helping scientists chronicle the history and evolution of this well-studied nebula.
  • SOFIA lets us do this, so we can understand why the nebula looks the way it does today."
  • Massive stars, like those in the Swan nebula, release so much energy that they can change the evolution of entire galaxies.
