The center of our Milky Way galaxy is hidden from the prying eyes of optical telescopes by clouds of obscuring dust and gas. But in this stunning vista, the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared cameras penetrate much of the dust, revealing the stars of the crowded galactic center region. The upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will offer a much-improved infrared view, teasing out fainter stars and sharper details. The center of our galaxy is a crowded place: A black hole weighing 4 million times as much as our Sun is surrounded by millions of stars whipping around it at breakneck speeds. This extreme environment is bathed in intense ultraviolet light and X-ray radiation. Yet much of this activity is hidden from our view, obscured by vast swaths of interstellar dust. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is designed to view the universe in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, but is very important for looking at astronomical objects hidden by dust. After its launch, Webb will gather infrared light that has penetrated the dusty veil, revealing the galactic center in unprecedented detail.

Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of Whitehall outside Downing Street. They were rallying to demand that prime minister Theresa May repudiate Donald Trump's shameful blanket entry ban on all Syrian, Iraqi, Somali, Yemeni, Iranian, Sudanese and Libyan nationals for the next 90 days as well as the indefinite ban on all Syrian refugees. Some also demanded that his planned state visit as a guest of the queen be revoked and that the British government also take decisive action to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers. An estimated ten thousand gathered outside Downing Street including human rights activist Peter Tatchel, former England striker Gary Lineker and singer Lily Allen. Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". Protesters pointed out that all the countries effected were Muslim majority nations and yet none of the countries targeted had any nationals implicated in any recent terrorist attack within the United States. Ironically it is US foreign policy in the Middle East, including years of bombing and support for regional dictators that is one of the main causes of the current refugee crisis.

Icebergs in the High Arctic .The image was sent to a glaciologist , Thomas Allen Neumann. It is what he wrote about the coloration of the iceberg: It's too red to be oxidation (like blood falls in Taylor Valley ).The debris loading isn't particularly extensive (the apparent slip plane is interesting, or perhaps a former water channel), but the color is usual. Red algae would be a good guess.Two colleagues have also seen your photo and suggested the majority of the debris was from, ah, biological activity. Specifically, they suggested the reddish appearance may be due to walrus excrement - another example is here ( [1] ). That would explain the color, but perhaps not the discoloration along the band through the ice berg. The part of his email to me was added with his permission.

“Schwäbisches Donaumoos”, by nature a special western part of the natural region Donauried . The area next after Ulm / Langenau is a permanent wetland of ca. 7,5x15 km, devided by the border Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. In this area the meltwater of the pleistocene river Upper Danube transported gravel , over time forming gravel beds of enormous size, functioning as a groundwater reservoir, which kept the surface a wetland. This kind of “full water tub” contains the karst waters of the southeastern Swabian Alb, mainly from river Lone and its dry valley -tributaries. This river network meanwhile percolates ca. 80% of its precipitation underground to the wetland area of the Danube. Four large karst springs in Langenau, the biotope / geotope ]/ natural monument Grimmensee, the Naturschutzgebiet “Langenauer Ried”, „Leipheimer Moos” and “Gundelfinger Moos” are legally protected.
