Aurora Over White Dome Geyser
17 OCTOBER 2012
In this photo we can see a red aurora borealis and a green aurora borealis on the back, and in
the front a geyser in eruption. The photo has been taken in the in Yellowstone National Park
in the western USA. The geyser erupted because inside the Earth there are water, it gets
warm and it goes to the surface.
A view from next door

Alpha Centauri is the closest star to de Sun. This photo has been taken at 4,3 light-years away. The crescent is
a planet that orbits Alpha Centauri B so it is the closest known exoplanet.
It was discovered by Xavier Dumusque. It is not an habitable zone because it is too close to
Alpha Cen B.
This photo has been taken in the north of Maine, USA. In the october sky we can see above the
horizon our galaxy, The Milky Way . We can see a zodiacal light, it is a light that extends throughout
the Milky Way. The most brilliant point that we can observe is Jupiter. There are a lot
of constelations like Orion, the Pleaides star cluster...
The horsehead nebula
It is one of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky, the Horsehead Nebula in Orion. It is a part of a large, dark, molecular cloud. It was discovered in 1800. The red glow originates from hydrogen gas. The bright points in the Horsehead Nebula's base are young stars just in the process of forming.
