History of Space

February 2/20/2008

The Eclipse is when the sun, moon and earth line up together. Then the moon starts to change red .

This is the sun seen through a special filter.

A comet is made out of  small objects made up of ice, dust and gas that orbit the sun. Jets of gas and dust form long tails that can be seen from Earth.

The new record holder, known as XTE J1650, formed in the center of a dying star. The star's core was a giant nuclear reactor, generating energy by turning light elements such as hydrogen into heavier elements such as oxygen. But eventually, the reactor ran out of fuel and shut down. The core collapsed due to its own gravity and formed a black hole.

The lowest-mass known black hole belongs to a binary system named XTE J1650-500. The black hole has about 3.8 times the mass of our sun, and is orbited by a companion star, as depicted in this illustration. Credit: NASA/CXC/A. Hobar
