NGC 5139 (Omega Centauri) is a globular cluster in the Centaurus constellation, around 17000 light years from earth.
With an estimated 10 million individual stars making up the cluster and a mass around 10 times that of your typical globular, it’s the largest known globular cluster in our Milky Way galaxy. With those types of statistics, you’d expect earthlike planets (and potentially life?) to be abundant here. That’s probably highly unlikely though.
Stars in Omega Centauri are so densely packed that their gravitational interaction with one another would make it very difficult/unlikely for potential planets to maintain stable orbits and favourable conditions (extreme temperature fluctuations) long term.

Lady Aurora made a brief appearance on Monday night. I'm kind of glad it was brief because I was pretty tired and decided to call it quits at about midnight.
Just a quickie !! well not so quick as it took half an hour to upload one pic !!
Everybody has settled well into the new surroundings, the guys adore the land to run freely and mum and the pups took to the new place immediately, they have sure grown some in the last 2 weeks !! Little eyes are open and much walking around...keeping me as busy as always :)
Have been promised my broadband by this friday, but as they took an extra week to get the phone working and had already promised the BB last week, I dont hold out much luck :(
Will catch up with all your photos and news soon I hope.

TMax400, developed with HC-110 (H).
I'm not having a go at Vodafone in particular because they're all the same as it's the infrastructure that's the problem.
No snails were injured in making this shot as Cyril was put back into the field on completion ;-)
A well known breakfast cereal - but not today.
A rural broadband connection cabinet.
Huawei All In One (AIO)
"Openreach all in one cabinet".
You’ll usually find these deployed in former Exchange Only Line (EOL) areas that have been upgraded via a complex network rearrangement. In short, AIO cabinets combine both the features of a PCP cabinet above with those of the usually smaller FTTC (VDSL2) based DSLAM cabinets (i.e. phone and hybrid fibre broadband inside a single unit). Most can support 500 phone and 128 FTTC lines.
broadband interconnect cables, these cables are all colour coded to assist with making the correct connections. This also makes it easier for fault finding when there is an issue with broadband.
Is New Zealand destined to be but a sleepy backwater on the global information highway?
After 6 years here I'm just about fed up with the dire straits of the internet connectivity and the price of it here in this third world country that masquerades as a first world country. It's just soooo slooow and sooo expensive!! On top of that the Telecom NZ monopoly keeps having major outages of its new 3G GSM mobile network XT and its broadband (sic) offerings are laughable. I don't think it would be considered 'Broadband' Internet anywhere else but here and we pay dearly for speeds that are often not much faster than dial-up... and we have to pay per Mb/Gb... with data caps!!.
Sorry to harp on but I'm just fed up with the awful internet infrastructure here. I have been personally involved in trying to get it improved and get the government to invest directly and also create incentives for the telcos to invest in modern telecommunications/internet infrastructure... but it just gets worse, especially with increased usage of aging and creaking systems. There is hope and Fibre To The Door is coming... hopefully it won't take another 10 years to get it here.
So come on New Zealand get you act together or be forever relegated to a sleepy backwater on our greenblue planet, a nature tourism theme park you only come to when you want to be cut off totally from the rest of the planet!
...Thats my bitch and moan for today, forgive me :-))
ps: My photos travel to you over the telephone wires in this picture...

Knowing how you foreign folk like our little telephone boxes, here's a closer look at one, on its own little plinth and with protective bollards, though I'm not sure they make it any more visible to passing motorists!
It's been a busy week this week so I have some catching up to do...
Well, there you are, sitting at your computer, looking at this image. Ever wondered how it reached you? No… neither have I.
However, I couldn’t fail to notice this little box of tricks (above and below) being installed in Teddington today. All across the UK, BT is rolling out ‘Infinity’, its high-speed broadband system – and here, just up the road from me, are the contents of just one of many thousands of junction boxes. Quite mind-boggling, really, but it obviously makes sense to someone!
Macromondays: My favorite smallest thing.
I'm a geek at heart. I've just spent 5 hours this afternoon co-operating with people from around the world. Ok, all we were doing was shooting computer controlled baddies in the head, but brings me joy. Thank god for broadband....
Broadband + Narrowband (IVB + Hα & O-III) composite image of NGC 3077 using images acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope's ACS instrument in September 2006 and its Wide Planetary Camera 2 instrument in May 2001.
Object Info:
NGC 3077 is a small galaxy in the Northern constellation of Ursa Major and is part of the M81 group of galaxies. It is an active galaxy, gravitational interaction with its larger neighbors has scattered dust clouds around and triggered star formation. NGC 3077 was discovered by William Herschel on November 8th, 1801.
Processing Details:
Image is a composite of broadband Infrared, Visible and Blue filter images taken with HST's ACS instrument, along with narrowband Hydrogen Alpha (Hα) and Doubly-ionized oxygen (O-III) filter images taken with HST's WFPC2 instrument. Broadband data was combined as a typical IVB image. With infrared band data assigned to red, visible band data assigned to green, and blue band data assigned to blue. Colors were calibrated using Rogelio Bernal Andreo's WhiteCal plugin for Adobe Photoshop. WhiteCal makes the simplifying assumption that the combined starlight from a galaxy is white in color. It then sets the white-balance of the image accordingly.
Narrowband data was overlaid on top of the broadband data, and then scaled up 200% to account for the differing pixel sizes between WFPC2 and ACS. Hα and O-III data were combined in an HOO palette, with Hα assigned to the red channel and O-III assigned to the green and blue channels. For the red channel, Hα was blended with O-III at an 80-20% ratio. This gives the Hα a more natural, pinkish appearance. O-III data was given a noise reduction and stretched significantly to make up for the weakness of the signal. Narrowband image was overlaid on top of the broadband image and blended in using the "Screen: blending mode.
