Webb telescope sees once invisible structures inside spiral galaxies

JAZMIN: IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, WE TALK ABOUT ROCKETS AND LAUNCHES ALL THE TIME. BUT WE바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE CREATING OUR OWN THIS MORNING WITH OUR FRIENDS AT THE ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER. HERE바카라 게임 웹사이트�S WESH 2바카라 게임 웹사이트�S ALEX ALECCI WITH THIS WEEK바카라 게임 웹사이트�S EPISODE OF "THE SCIENCE OF IT." ALEX: HELLO AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF "THE SCIENCE OF IT." I MET THE ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER WITH YOU. >> THE COOL THING ABOUT ROCKETS IS THEY COME IN ALL SIZES AND VARIETIES. WE ARE NOT SENDING A ROCKET TO THE MOON OR MARS. WE WILL LEAVE THAT TO NASA AND SPACEX, BUT WE WILL USING SOME OF THE ROCKETS TODAY. ALEX: ICY PAPER. >> WE WILL BE MAKING PAPER ROCKETS. WHEN YOU ARE LAUNCHING A ROCKET, YOU NEED A FORCE OFF THE BOTTOM. THIS RUNS ON NEWTON바카라 게임 웹사이트�S LAWS. THE LAW WE ARE WORKING WITH TODAY SAYS FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION. IF WE APPLY FORCE TO THE BOTTOM, IT WILL SHOOT IN THE AIR. TODAY, WE WILL BE USING A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH ALKA-SELTZER AND AIR PRESSURE. THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES AND REALLY COOL. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE THAT WILL FIT AROUND THIS. CHOOSE A COLOR. ALEX: WHAT ARE THESE? >> GOOD POINT. THESE ARE FILM CANISTERS. BACK IN THE ANCIENT DAYS, WE USE TO USE THESE WEIRD THINGS CALLED CAMERAS THAT WOULD HAVE TO PRODUCE FILM ON STRIPS. NOWADAYS, WE HAVE CELLPHONES. THEY ARE COOL. THEY CAN HOLD ONTO THE FILM ROLES. WE ARE USING THEM AS A CONTAINER TO LAUNCH THE ROCKETS. YOU CAN USE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. AS LONG AS A HAS A POP TOP, IT WILL BE GOOD TO GO. LET바카라 게임 웹사이트�S MAKE SOME ROCKETS. YOU CAN CHOOSE WHATEVER COLOR YOU WOULD LIKE. GO FOR IT. ALL RIGHT. GOT THAT ONE READY TO GO. WE ARE USING A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH ALKA-SELTZER TABLETS AND WATER. I AM GOING TO POUR IN WATER-BASED PAINT WITH THE TABLET. THE PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP INSIDE AND WILL BE TOO MUCH, POPPING THE TOP OFF AND LAUNCHING IT IN THE AIR. I WILL GIVE YOU ONE OF THOSE. I WILL TAKE ONE AS WELL ALEX: THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN TRY AT HOME? >> YOU CAN. JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU WEAR EYE PROTECTION. YOU CAN USE THIS WATER-BASED PAINT TO MAKE SOME COOL ARTWORK. LET바카라 게임 웹사이트�S SEE IF WE CAN DO THAT. I AM GOING TO GRAB A PAINT. CHOOSE A COLOR. WE WANT TO PUT JUST A SQUIRT, NOT VERY MUCH, JUST ENOUGH TO COAT THE BOTTOM REALLY. ALEX: PERFECT. >> NAILED IT. MAKE SURE THE TOP FITS SNUG BEFORE YOU PUT THE ALKA-SELTZER IN. TOP THAT OFF. WE WANT TO PUT PROBABLY ONE THIRD OF A TABLET. WE DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T WANT TO PUT THE WHOLE TABLET IN BECAUSE THAT WILL CREATE THE REACTION TOO QUICKLY. WE WANT TIME TO PUT IT DOWN BEFORE IT EXPLODES. THIS WILL HAPPEN REALLY QUICKLY. WE HAVE TO NAIL IT ON OUR FIRST TRY. POP THE TABLET IN, SQUEEZE THE TOP ON TIGHT. FLIP IT UPSIDE DOWN. THEN YOU바카라 게임 웹사이트�RE GOING TO PUT THE ROCKET DOWN AND WAIT FOR IT TO GO IN THE AIR. READY? HERE WE GO. OOP. [LAUGHTER] YOURS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY. MINE WILL TAKE A MOMENT. I WILL WAIT FOR IT. I THINK IT IS GOING TO GO. THE FUN, ANXIOUS PART IS WAITING TO SEE IF IT WILL POP. RIGHT NOW, THE PRESSURE IS BUILDING UP. THE CHEMICAL REACTION IS CREATING PRESSURE INSIDE, SO IT IS PRESSURIZED. THERE WE GO! FANTASTIC! AS YOU CAN SEE, IT LAUNCHED INTO THE AIR. DEPENDING ON THE NOSE CONE AND FIN, IT WILL CHANGE TRAJECTORY. YOU CAN EXPERIMENT WITH THAT. IF YOU NEEDED TO GO FURTHER, YOU NEED A BIGGER FORCE. THANKFULLY, I HAVE SOME PREMADE SO WE DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T HAVE TO MAKE THEM. THESE ARE STOP ROCKETS. THESE ARE STOMP ROCKETS. WE MADE IT WITH PVC PIPING. YOU HAVE THE ANGLE HERE. IT IS THE IDEAL ANGLE, 45 DEGREES. YOU CAN CHANGE THE ANGLE TO MAKE IT GO HIGHER OR LOWER AND NOT AS FAR. WE ARE PUTTING A TWO LEADER BOTTLE -- TWO-LITER BOTTLE ON THE END. WANT TO TRY IT? FANTASTIC. ALEX: THESE SHOULD BE GOING FURTHER. >> THE LITTLE ROCKETS WE HAD DID NOT PRODUCE MUCH FORCE. THIS WILL BE A LOT MORE. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO FORCE IT ALL OUT AT THE SAME TIME INTO THE ROCKET. ALEX: ALL OF THE AIR IS GOING THROUGH THE TUBE AND INTO THE ROCKET. >> HOW FAR DO YOU THINK THEY WILL GO? ALEX COLOME AT LEAST THREE FEET. >> I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. I AM HOPING IT WILL GO EVEN FURTHER. 3, 2, 1. ALEX: NICE. >> THAT IS 10 OR 15 FEET. ALEX: HIGH IS GOOD, JUMP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. >> 3, 2, 1. WHOA! YAY! ALEX: MINE GOT HEIGHT BUT NOT SO MUCH DISTANCE. >> CAUGHT THE WIND A LITTLE BIT. ALEX: YOU CAN DO IT MORE THAN ONCE. >> THE BOTTLES ARE REUSABLE. THEY LOOKED CRUSHED BUT IF YOU BLOW INTO THEM, THEY WILL POP OUT. YOU CAN PROBABLY GET 10 OR 15 USES OUT OF THEM. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IT. YOU CAN DO THIS AT HOME. I RECOMMEND IT. IT IS SUPER FUN. YOU CAN DO IT FOR HOURS AND LEARN SCIENCE. ALEX: THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON "THE SCIENCE OF IT." JAZMIN: I DON바카라 게임 웹사이트�T THINK I바카라 게임 웹사이트�M GOING TO BE ABLE TO UNHEAR "WHOA." IF YOU WANT SEE WHAT OTHER COOL STUFF HAPPENING AT THE ORLAN

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths.The space observatory can see the universe in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, making the telescope uniquely poised to look through the dust that obscures some galactic features when less powerful telescopes are used.Researchers participating in the PHANGS collaboration, or Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby Galaxies, are using Webb바카라 게임 웹사이트�s infrared capabilities to study 19 spiral galaxies.So far, the telescope has observed five of them in detail, including galaxies M74, NGC 7496, IC 5332, NGC 1365 and NGC 1433.In visible light, the galaxies appeared dark and dim.
