The newly discovered third planet orbiting Beta Pictoris, Beta Pictoris d, appears in reconstructed imagery from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph). NIRSpec’s Integral Field Unit (IFU) was used to map chemical contents of the Beta Pictoris system. This allowed researchers to confirm the bright point of light, as seen in the image, was actually a planet by detecting its chemical composition.

Modeling suggests its orbit is comparable to the region occupied by Neptune in our own solar system.

Image Description: An image of the Beta Pictoris system, with two exoplanets shown. The view is black. At the center of the image, there is a white star symbol, which represents light blocked from the host star. Immediately to the left of the star symbol, there is a bright orange-whitish smudge, labeled b. To the right of the star symbol, further away, is a blurry orange smudge labeled d. There is a blue dashed circle around the entire system, labeled “size of Neptune’s orbit.”

White & Blue Alfirk by Richard Orr

Beta Cephei ranks as the finest double-star in the constellation of the King (Cepheus). The accepted name of Beta Cephei is Alfirk which translates to “the stars of the flock [sheep]”. This flock also consists of two other sheep, Alpha Cephei and Eta Cephei, but these stars no longer carry the name of Alfirk – only Beta Cephei does.

Alfirk in the telescope has a bright white primary star and a distinctive blue secondary star. With a separation of 14 arcseconds the pair are split in any sized telescope. The blue color of the secondary (dimmer) star is intense and can be discerned even in my small 60mm f/15 refractor. In the 155mm refractor (used for the drawing) the blue is breath taking.

Alfirk is really a three-star system. The third star is so close to the primary that it remains invisible in my 155mm refractor.

A short-lived operator in Glasgow, Beta Buses ran a sightseeing tour using a fleet of unreliable DMS Fleetlines bought from Big Bus Company, London. Big Bus had used the Fleetlines as static ticket stalls, so stop-start was beyond them. In this rare view of one in motion without boiling over or pluming smoke there is quite a healthy upper deck load.

Scotts Creek Baptist Church, Beta, NC by Warren LeMay

Built in 1960-1961, this Colonial Revival-style building was constructed for the congregation of Scotts Creek Baptist Church, which was founded in the mid-19th Century, and once was located at the Old Field Cemetery on Cope Creek. The building replaced an earlier church, constructed in the 1950s, which burned in 1960, destroying an earlier wood-frame building from the early 20th Century and the old parsonage in the process. The building also stands on the site of the former Beta School, a two-story wood-frame public school which operated from the early 20th Century until it was consolidated with other schools in Scotts Creek Township to form Scotts Creek School in 1951. The building is clad in red brick with a gabled roof and front portico with doric columns, a steeple with an octagonal belfry and spire, large stained glass windows, and a two-story educational wing to the rear. The building remains in use by the Scotts Creek Baptist Church.

This is a tattoo of mine not too many people get to see. Sometimes I wish this was on my forehead instead of my cheek to express how I feel without having to say anything. Once again Flickr is in an uproar about the unnecessary changes Marissa Mayer has made or is about to make to the photo site. Instead of posting the black protest page like everyone else I decided to express my feelings this way. I didn’t like the changes made in May and I don’t care for the new beta version but I like taking pictures and I've invested a lot of time and energy on my Flickr stream so I'll probably stay. Protesting won’t help or change anything but venting won’t hurt either. Have you ever tried to photo your own bum? I’d love to see it :)

This image of beta-galactosidase at 3.2 Å resolution illustrates the differential effect that electron radiation (orange rays) has on different parts of proteins (green) during high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging. Acidic side chains, like glutamate (bottom, red atoms), break down first, before more basic side chains, like histidine (top, blue atoms).
