Chateau - Abbadia Observatory - Abbadia Castle - Property of the Academy of Sciences, located in Hendaye, in the Atlantic Pyrenees, this castle was the home of Antoine d'Abbadie (1810 - 1897), a scholar and explorer. It was built between 1864 and 1879 by the architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc (1814 - 1879), instead of an astronomical observatory dating back to 1858. The castle houses a new observatory, equipped with a Meridian bezel of 2.05 m focal length, with which d'Abbadie participated in the elaboration of the map of the sky “”. Passionate about astronomy, Antoine d'Abbadie made many trips, notably to observe total eclipses of the Sun in Norway (1851), Spain (1860) and Algeria (1867). In 1882 he observed Venus's passage before the Sun from the West Indies. He was president of the Academy of Sciences in 1891 and 1892. Abbadia Castle, owned by the French Academy of Sciences, was built by Eugene Viollet le Duc between 1864 and 1879. It houses a former astronomy observatory.

Open cluster Trumpler 5 in Unicorn - Open cluster Trumpler 5 in Monoceros - Trumpler 5 is a cluster of stars aged 125 million years. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope As they age, open clusters of stars begin to lose their identity. This is partly because the brighter members tend to self - destruct as supernovae, and, though the group members share a common motion through space, they are only loosely bound. Thus stars drift away from the cluster in a process that accelerates with time. However, some clusters are big enough to retain their identity much longer than usual, and Trumpler 5 is one such. Its age is estimated to be 125 million years, and it must have been a spectacular sight in its youth. It seems to be at the edge of the Monoceros molecular cloud, where star formation is continuing new generations of young clusters

Globular cluster M30 in Capricornus - Globular cluster M30 in Capricornus - The globular cluster M30 (NGC 7099) is located about 28,000 light years away from Earth. Globular clusters are generally peoples of very old stars, but here the Hubble space telescope has identified some young stars, blue stragglers. Messier 30 formed 13 billion years ago and was discovered in 1764 by Charles Messier. Located about 28 000 light - years away from Earth, this globular cluster - - a dense swarm of several hundred thousand stars - - is about 90 light - years across. Although globular clusters such as this one are mainly populated by old stars, the crowded field of stars leads to some old stars apparently reclaiming their youth in the form of blue stragglers. Researchers using data from Hubble's now - retired Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) have identified two types of blue stragglers in Messier 30: those that form in near head - on collisions with one another and those that are in twin (or binary) systems where the less massive star siphons “” life - giving”” hydrogen from its more massive companion. This image of Messier 30 (M30) was taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS)

Clusters of distant galaxies CL0024+1654 - Distant cluster of galaxies CL0024+1654 - False color image of cluster CL0024+1654 obtained with the 12k camera of CFHT (Canada France Hawaii Telescope) in Hawaii. This cluster is 4.5 billion light years away. This is a colour image of the galaxy cluster CL0024+1654 obtained with the CFHT12k camera at the Canada France Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea (Hawaii). Distance of 4.5 thousand million light - years (about one third of the look - back time to the Big Bang) from Earth. The cluster clearly appears as a concentration of yellow galaxies in the centre of this image although cluster galaxies actually extend at least to the edge of this image. This image measures 21 x 21 arc - minutes
