For some people this is Super Tuesday, a very exciting day...for some...so, what about us? The day includes many super stars... The above blue super giant has already exploded, it couldn't wait for Super Tuesday! The party is still going on in spiral galaxy NGC 3310. Roughly 100 million years ago, NGC 3310 likely collided with a smaller galaxy causing the large spiral galaxy to light up with a tremendous burst of star formation. The changing gravity during the collision created density waves that compressed existing clouds of gas and triggered the star-forming party.
Some of the star clusters in the galaxy are quite young, indicating that starburst galaxies may remain in star-burst mode for quite some time. NGC 3310 spans about 50,000 light years, lies about 50 million light years away, and is visible with a small telescope towards the constellation of Ursa Major. The best Super Tuesdays are celebrated by real super stars like you. Go out tonight an celebrate by taking a pair of binoculars and see if you can find something spectacular in the sky!

I always have liked Tuesday. It isn't like Monday where you just medal through it and try to live. It is wonderful for me.

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
