Hubble Telescope: Looking Deep

Since its launch is 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided scientists with a vast amount of quality data and has contributed to a number of important discoveries. One of the best-known images — the Hubble Deep Field — shows some of the earliest and faintest galaxies ever seen. In this video s

Galileo Galilei's discoveries

Galileo Galilei's telescope was a milestone for his astronomical observations. One major finding: The Milky Way is not a nebula, but consists of millions of stars. However, he was wrong about the cause of the tides. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/S. Hillmann/B. v. Dadelsen/S. Utzt/C. v. Westphalen/M. Mohr T

Swift and Hubble Probe an Asteroid Crash

Discover how astronomers determined the unexpected brightening of an asteroid named Scheila was likely the result of an impact with a much smaller asteroid. This video from NASA looks at how the Swift satellite and the Hubble Space Telescope helped astronomers investigate what they thought was an un

Swift: Gamma-Ray Bursts

In the late 1960s, scientists accidentally discovered gamma-ray bursts — intense flashes of energy that typically last no more than a few minutes and are often as short as a fraction of a second. For decades after the discovery of these powerful bursts, they remained one of the greatest mysteries in

Liebherr – Mobile and Crawler Cranes UpLoad 3/2021

Our third edition 2021 of the UpLoad video magazine starts with a visit to the Atomium in Brussels. An LR 1350/1-LN was used for the full refurbishment in 2005. In the "Background" category, our Managing Director Dr Hamme answers the question why our LTC compact crane is now available with two boom

Saturn's Record-Setting Storm | NASA Planetary Sciences

Learn how a giant storm on Saturn sent temperatures soaring in this video from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. About once a Saturn year, the planet develops a massive storm called a Great White Spot. Planetary scientist Brigette Hesman describes observations of the storm that erupted on Saturn i

What Is a Dwarf Planet? | NASA Planetary Sciences

In this video from NASA, learn about the history of defining a planet, and examine how classification changes based on new knowledge. Our understanding of the solar system has evolved since the ancient Greeks, who first used the word planetes to distinguish the objects that moved against the backdro

The Formation of Stars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover how the James Webb Space Telescope will help us better understand solar system formation in this video from NASA. Images from the Hubble Space Telescope show star-forming regions within the Eagle nebula: visible light images show vast clouds of gas and dust, and infrared images provide a gl
