NASA's Hubble Maps 3-D Structure of Ejected Material Around Erupting Star

06/04/2013 12:00 AM EDT

A flash of light from a stellar outburst has provided a rare look at the 3-D structure of material ejected by an erupting nova.

Astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to observe the light emitted by the close double-star system T Pyxidis, or T Pyx, a recurring nova, during its latest outburst in April 2011.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Mars Express: a new and enhanced Full Orbit Video genarted by multiple images acquired by the VMC camera - the Mars Webcam - on board ESA's Mars Express 

This version is a special 'MEX birthday preview'. We'll post a somewhat extended version late next week, to coincide with the next expected VMC image set arriving from Mars (for news, follow the VMC blog http://blogs.esa.int/vmc) 

Thanks to the Mars Express Science operations teams for generating a fabulous, unique-in-our-Solar-System view of the Red planet. And happy Birthday, Mars Express!
