The best FPV drone videos of all time
There’s flying a drone and then there’s flying a drone . While the former invariably involves gentle climbs and careful descents, the latter can include breathtaking speeds, sudden turns, and, if you’re still learning the ropes, lots of crashes. These faster, more sophisticated flights are often performed by FPV (first person view) drones. For those not in the know, FPV flights involve strapping on a headset for an immersive, real-time view of the drone’s flight via its front-facing camera. FPV flights usually use smaller, faster, more versatile drones than your popular DJI Mavic machine, with pilots often building their own devices according to their own particular flying styles. Keen to see what the best FPV pilots can achieve, we scoured the web for footage of spectacular flights in a range of scenarios. So place a soft cushion on the floor for your jaw because the efforts posted below are nothing short of astonishing. A mix of incredible speed, awesome moves, and … [Read more...] about The best FPV drone videos of all time
Hubble captures a spectacular face-on Starburst galaxy
The scientists working with the Hubble Space Telescope have shared another spectacular image of space. This image shows galaxy M61, located in the Virgo Cluster, with its spiral arms and regions of star formation shown in red. The image was created using data from the space-based Hubble, supplemented by data from other instruments like the FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph 2 (FORS 2)camera at the European Southern Observatory’s ground-based Very Large Telescope. This galaxy is notable in that it appears “face on” to us from Earth — that is, it appears almost completely flat, allowing us an excellent view of the structures of the galaxy. Even though it is located 52 million light-years away, it is still a popular target for astronomical observations because of its face on appearance. In the red regions in the arms of the galaxy, stars have recently been born when patches of dust and gas have clumped together, then eventually collapsed under the weight of their gravity to form the … [Read more...] about Hubble captures a spectacular face-on Starburst galaxy
Hubble identifies a 10-billion-year-old pair of quasars in merging galaxies
When galaxies get close enough together, they can collide in epic events which can destroy one or lead to the two merging into a larger galaxy . And sometimes, on very rare occasions, the two galaxies might both include a quasar — an extremely bright galactic core formed around a supermassive black hole, so luminous it can shine brighter than the entire rest of the galaxy. Now, a new study has identified not one but two pairs of quasars in galaxies that are merging. By studying these two pairs, which are extremely far away and are thus around 10 billion years old, astronomers can learn more about how galaxies and their supermassive black holes merge. “We estimate that in the distant Universe, for every one thousand quasars, there is one double quasar. So finding these double quasars is like finding a needle in a haystack,” said Yue Shen of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, lead author of the paper, in a statement . Astronomers believe that quasars were more … [Read more...] about Hubble identifies a 10-billion-year-old pair of quasars in merging galaxies
