TEC4613882: The Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Paris 19th arrondissement. On the will of Napoleon III (1808-1873) to offer the laborious classes green lungs, the park was brought to old gypsum quarries, which explains its topography. Adolphe Alphand (1817-1891), grand authorizer of Parisian parks with architect engineer Alfred Darcel (1818-1893) drew up the plan of the park. The landscape artist Pierre Barillet Deschamps (1824-1873) planted the park from 1866. Gabriel Davioud (1824-1881) built the restaurant, the guard house, the brewery and the Sibyl temple.

PIX4613898: Sculptor's Dwarf Galaxy - Sculptor dwarf galaxy - The Sculptor's dwarf galaxy belongs to the local group, just like our galaxy or the Andromede galaxy. The Sculptor dwarf galaxy is one of our Milky Way's neighbouring dwarf galaxies. The Milky Way is, like all large galaxies, thought to have formed from smaller galaxies in the early days of the Universe. These small galaxies should also contain many very old stars, just as the Milky Way does, and a team of astronomers has now shown that this is indeed the case.

PIX4619305: Nebula NGC 6188 in the Altar - The NGC 6188 nebula and NGC 6193 in Ara - Nebula NGC 6188 is located about 4000 years from Earth. It is home to a cluster of young stars NGC 6193, formed three million years ago. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. Here we see two bright stars whose radiant energy is beating down on to the surface of a dark cloud, very similar to the Horsehead in Orion. The cloud itself is opaque and because of that, very cold inside. These conditions are ideal for the formation of organic molecules on the surfaces of the chilled dust particles. The opacity of the cloud protects the fragile molecules within from the energetic radiation of nearby stars, but as its surface is gradually warmed and eroded, the delicate organic molecules are destroyed and the hydrogen released glows as a distinctive red emission nebula / Bridgeman Images
PIX4619532: Trifide nebula (M20) in the constellation Sagittarius: View of the Trifide nebula (M20/NGC 6514) located in the constellation Sagittarius between 5000 and 10,000 light years from Earth. Measuring some forty light years across, this nebula contains enough gas to make many thousands of suns. Trifid is located in Sagittarius constellation between 5000 and 10,000 light-years away / Bridgeman Images
