Jan 22, 2012
M15 - Globular Cluster - Deep Sky Videos
Astonomers have found the the super massive black hole at the center of spiral galaxies is always about one percent of the mass of the galaxy's central bulge. They are now interested in determining if this the relationship applies to globular clusters, such as Messier 15, which resemble galactic bulges. In other words, are globular clusters tiny galaxies?
Jan 29, 2012
M105 - Elliptical Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 105 is a normal run of the mill elliptical galaxy which, along with it's nearby cousins, is surrounded by a huge ring of primordial hydrogen and apparently lacking in dark matter.

Feb 08, 2012
M24 - Sagittarius Star Cloud - Deep Sky Video
Messier 24 is one of many gaps in the dust clouds of the Milky Way that permits some of the star behind the clouds to be seen.
Feb 12, 2012
M34 - Open Cluster - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 34 is one member of a group of nearby clusters of stars. It is classified as an open cluster because it formed rather recently and is too small for the star to stay together so they will gradually disperse.
Feb 19, 2012

An introduction to the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Feb 24, 2012
M30 - More & More & More Stars - Deep Sky Videos
As globular clusters age they evolve leading to a phenomenon called core collapse. Messier 30 seems to be well into this process.
Mar 04, 2012
M33 - Triangulum Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
The Tirangulum galaxy, Messier 33, is a spiral galaxy with no central bulge. Astonomers believe that such galaxies do not have a central super massive black hole and have absorbed few if any small galaxies.
Mar 07, 2012
M66 - Deformed Spiral Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Spiral Galaxy Messier 65 recently encountered another galaxy causing one of its spiral arms to partially disappear by falling into the galactic center.
Mar 12, 2012
M104 - Sombrero Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos

Astonomers have identified a red star in a Hubble Space Telescope image that generated the 2012 supernova in Messier 95.
Mar 27, 2012
M13 - Alien Life - Deep Sky Videos
In 1974 Human Kind used the Aracebo radio telescope to send a message to the Hercules globular cluster. With luck we'll hear and answer in about 50,000 years. But it's unlikely because globular clusters are not good place to live.
Mar 29, 2012
M83 - Southern Pinwheel Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Several supernovae in Messier 83 in the past hundred years indicate it is one of the most active star forming galaxies nearby.
Apr 01, 2012
M40 - Double Star - Deep Sky Videos
Unlike the fuzzy objects in Messier's catalog, Messier 40 is pair of stars that aren't even a binary. So does the object belong in the catalog? Well, that was Messier's decision.
Apr 08, 2012
M53- Which way is up in space? - Deep Sky Videos
Up and down are meaningful on Earth but make little sense in space. But what about North and south? How do astronomers determine direction?
Apr 11, 2012
M27 - Dumbbell Nebula and Biscuits - Deep Sky Videos
The Dumbell Nebula resulted from a star shedding a large portion of it's outer surface as it evolved. That gas now glows from the light of the star.
May 02, 2012
M93 - Caroline Herschel - Deep Sky Videos
May 06, 2012

The Eagle Nebula is on of the most beautiful objects in the sky (once you take a long exposure photograph of it). What is going on to make it so beautiful?
May 13, 2012
M56 - Old & Not That Exciting - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 56 is little studied globular cluster because it's difficult to observe being close to the galactic plane and one of the most distant. But it is known to be one of the oldest globular clusters, nearly as old as the Milky Way.
May 15, 2012
M92 - Rare Earths in a Globular Cluster - Deep Sky Videos
Paul shares a photo of comet Garradd, that happened to be near Messier 92, to show how much they look alike and why comet hunter Charles Messier was so annoyed by these nebulae that he cataloged all those he saw.
May 16, 2012
M77 - A Special Kind of Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 77 is a Seyfert galaxy meaning it has an active galactic nucleus with a large cloud of hot gas being absorbed by the central super massive black hole. That places it between the Milky Way with a mostly dormant nucleus and a quasar with an extremely active nucleus.
May 24, 2012
M110 - Andromeda's Companion - Deep Sky Videos
M110 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy left over from the formation of M31 Andromeda galaxy which it now orbits. It is a late addition to the Messier catalog as Messier discovered it but didn't specifically catalog it.
May 28, 2012
M4 - White Dwarfs - Deep Sky Videos
Messiers 4 is a nearby globular cluster of very old stars many of which are white dwarfs. The dwarfs' were individually resolved by the Hubble Spce telescope and the oldest dated to about 12 billion years, consistent with the age of the universe.
Jun 02, 2012
Smashing into Andromeda (NEWS) - Deep Sky Videos
The first ever measurement of the proper motion of the Andromeda galaxy confirmed it is heading for a collision with the Mily Way in about four billion years.
Jun 06, 2012
M101 - Supernova and Pinwheel Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
The Pinwheel galaxy, M101, is a jumble of spiral arms thought to be produced by stars formed by compression waves propagating around the galaxy. It is also the site of the most recent type 1a supernova.
Jun 10, 2012
M45 - Seven Sisters or Pleiades - Deep Sky Videos
The Pelieades is an open cluster of stars that is passing through a diffuse cloud and dust to create a reflection nebula visible in long exposure photographs. Although there are about a thousand stars in the cluster the seven brightest are easily visible with the naked eye for now as they will eventually explode as supernovae.
Jun 20, 2012
M37 - Clusters of Stars - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 37 is a typical open cluster of stars. But it is useful for demonstrating how to determine the age of a cluster.
Jul 02, 2012
M35 - Motion of Stars - Deep Sky Videos
Astronomers recorded the positions of the stars in the open cluster Messier 35 for decades to track their motion and from that determine the mass of the cluster. Based on their measurement it does not contain much if any dark matter.
Jul 05, 2012
Most Massive Star in the Universe - Deep Sky Videos
The Tarantula Nebula is an absolutely huge star forming region in the Large Mangellenic Cloud with equally huge brightly burning stars.
Jul 22, 2012
Really, Really Old Spiral Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Galacy BX442 is a very old galaxy ten billion light years from earth. It resembles a grand design spiral galaxy but its spectra reveals it is far to turbulent. So the spiral structure is probably due to a passing or nearby companion galaxy.
Jul 24, 2012
M97 - Owl Nebula or a Pokemon - Deep Sky Videos
The Owl nebula is a shell of gas cast off from a star when it evolved into a red giant. This nebula is oriented relative to Earth so the geometry of the gas release is apparent to astronomers.
Jul 29, 2012
M32 - Satellite Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 32 is an unusually compact dwarf elliptical galaxy. Astronomers thing it was once a larger spiral galaxy that lost its disk of stars to the Andromeda Galaxy leaving only the core behind.
Aug 20, 2012
M76 - Little Dumbbell Nebula - Deep Sky Videos
The central star of the planetary nebula Messier 76 is quite rare. It is a white dwarf with a surface layer of carbon rather than hydrogen or helium. Apparently after its first expansion phase when it release most of it's remaining hydrogen creating the nebula it contracted and experienced a helium flash converting the helium to carbon and created a second nebula.
Aug 23, 2012
M20 - Trifid Tebula - Deep Sky Videos
The Trifid is a remarkable astronomical object of stars dust and gas because it presents three types of nebula; emission, reflection and absorption.
Aug 28, 2012
M74 - Shooting a Spiral Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos

Aug 29, 2012
M31 - Andromeda Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
The Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, shares the title of the largest galaxy in the Local Group with the Milky Way. It was key to astronomers' realization that the universe is larger than the Milky Way.
Sep 03, 2012
M85 - Lenticular Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos
Lenticular galaxies, such as Messier 85, often look like elliptical galaxies to us but they are disk shaped rather than spherical like the ellipticals. They are common in galaxy clusters where spiral galaxies are rare and rare outside the clusters where spirals are common. So astronomers think they are formed when a spiral galaxy encounter the gas cloud of a cluster and has its dust and gas, and hence spiral arms, stripped from it.
Sep 05, 2012
M71 - Star Spotting - Deep Sky Videos
James McCormac explains the stellar transit process and the challenge of finding a transiting exoplanet.
Sep 10, 2012
M96 - Coffee Break Galaxy - Deep Sky Videos

Oct 02, 2012
M67 - Where did the Sun come from? - Deep Sky Videos
The open cluster Messier 67 has been thoroughly studied because it looked liked the best candidate for the location where the star nearest and dearest to our hearts was formed; our sun Sol.
Oct 07, 2012
M57 - Ring Nebula - Deep Sky Videos
The ring nebula was once thought to be a sphere of matter discharged by its central star that was so thin that only the edges were visible. It is now thought to be truly ring shaped and oriented so we see through it from Earth.
Oct 14, 2012
M29 - Pants Cluster - Deep Sky Videos
Messier 104 is an open cluster that is difficult to see due to intervening dust. Absent the dust it would likely be very bright as seen form Earth.
Oct 25, 2012
M22 - Black Hole Clusters - Deep Sky Videos
Mike shares a paper that suggests Messier 22 contains a cluster of black holes around it's center in contract to prevailing theories.
Nov 04, 2012
M65 - An Easy Life - Deep Sky Videos
Spiral galaxy Messiar 65 has been undisturbed in its recent history in contract to it's companion in the Leo Triplet, Messier 66, which has many regions of active star formation.
May 29, 2013
M2 - Recycled Stars - Deep Sky Videos
The traditional theory of globular clusters is that their stars all formed at roughly the same time so stars of the same mass should have the same properties. But a close look at the clusters' color magnitude diagrams reveals most have two, occasionally, three populations of stars likely formed hundreds of millions of years apart. Spectra of certain elements in the stars reinforce the presence of multiple stellar populations.
Aug 20, 2013
Green Flash and Belt of Venus - Deep Sky Videos
Pete Lawrence explains the phenomenon and captures pictures of the green flash.
Dec 05, 2013
Magellanic Clouds (and Apollo 16) - Deep Sky Videos
The Large and small Mangellanic clouds are dwarf galaxies that orbit the the Milky Way and possibly each other as well. They are rather close to the Milky Way at present in their highly eccentric orbits.
Mar 18, 2014
M17 - Omega Nebula - Deep Sky Videos
Dr. Merrifield explains why Messier 17 has so many nicknames then discusses the star formation occurring in the nebula with Brady.
Apr 30, 2014
M11 - Wild Duck Cluster - Deep Sky Videos
The Wild Duck is an open cluster of just the right age with the right size stars so there are several Delta Scuti stars undergoing the kappa mechanism making them pulsate and vary in brightness.

Cris Pelo Mundo Descobrindo a Suíça

Cris Pelo Mundo Descobrindo a Suíça

Cris Stilben has always dreamed of traveling the world and from a young age planned what would come ahead. Among national and international destinations, she created a blog to record her journeys. After a while, she was joined by Igor who from her boyfriend became her husband and later their son's father, young Emmanuel. The trio is always traveling and exploring new places, which are shown on the TV show Cris around the World. The trips only get bigger, just like the family: there is a baby on the way. And the big question is: will it be possible to keep their traveling routine? After telling their story, the three board with the new family member still on Cris's belly heading to Switzerland, where between ski resorts, amazing Alpine mountains, train tours, resorts, and spas, they enjoy the last trip before their big life change. Between touristic attractions, the couple reflects and discusses the future possibilities after the arrival of the second child, while Emmanuel tries to overcome his fears of the Covid-19 pandemic. Together the three try to decide on the baby's name and Cris and Igor get to a decision that will change their lives: stay still in one place or continue traveling.
