The Nicholas Building is a 250 ft (76 m)[1] tall high-rise building located at 608 Madison Avenue in Downtown Toledo. It stood as Toledo's tallest building for 7 years, from its completion in 1906 until the completion of the Riverfront Apartments building in 1913. The Nicholas Building is currently the seventh-tallest building in Toledo.
The seventeen story structure was constructed in 1906 by Toledo business partners A.L. Spitzer and C.M. Spitzer.[2] The Spitzer cousins named the building after their grandfather, Nicholas Spitzer. The building was designed by Norval Bacon and Thomas Huber, partners of the Toledo architectural firm of Bacon & Huber.[3] The Nicholas Building was described in 1910 as one of the "largest and most modern office buildings in the Northwest”, the area known today as the East North Central States. 145
Today I'm rather late with a new photo. It's mainly because I'm currently working on a photo book. I have sifted through so many pictures, edited them and moved them back and forth. In the meantime, I'm satisfied with it and can devote myself to Flickr again :D
Heute bin ich mit nem neuen Foto ziemlich spät dran. Es liegt vor allem daran, dass ich derzeit an einem Fotobuch sitze. Ich habe so viele Bilder gesichtet, nachbearbeitet und hin- und hergeschoben. Mittlerweile bin ich damit zufrieden und kann mich wieder Flickr widmen :D

Der Motivklassiker für den EC 196 bei Ellenberg wurde am 12. Juni 2020 einmal etwas spitzer umgesetzt. Gut zu erkennen ist, dass sich das 218er Tandem, bestehend aus 218 433-1 und 218 419-0 [beide mit einem MTU 16 V 4000 R40 ausgestattet], nach der Linkskurve im oberen rechten Bildbereich gerade leicht in die kommende Rechtskurve legt.
One of the both standard and must-have motifs if you want to take a picutre of EC 196 from Munich to Zurich is found around Ellenberg and Wildpoldsried. On 12th June 2020 both MTU 16 V 4000 R40 engines (218 433/419) were hauling the train along some happy photographers.
This composite image of data from three different telescopes shows an ongoing collision between two galaxies, NGC 6872 and IC 4970. X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is shown in purple, while Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared data is red and optical data from ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) is colored red, green and blue.
Astronomers think that supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies. Not only do the galaxies and black holes seem to co-exist, they are apparently inextricably linked in their evolution. To better understand this symbiotic relationship, scientists have turned to rapidly growing black holes -- so-called active galactic nucleus (AGN) -- to study how they are affected by their galactic environments.
The latest data from Chandra and Spitzer show that IC 4970, the small galaxy at the top of the image, contains an AGN, but one that is heavily cocooned in gas and dust. This means in optical light telescopes, like the VLT, there is little to see. X-rays and infrared light, however, can penetrate this veil of material and reveal the light show that is generated as material heats up before falling onto the black hole (seen as a bright point-like source).
Despite this obscuring gas and dust around IC 4970, the Chandra data suggest that there is not enough hot gas in IC 4970 to fuel the growth of the AGN. Where, then, does the food supply for this black hole come from? The answer lies with its partner galaxy, NGC 6872. These two galaxies are in the process of undergoing a collision, and the gravitational attraction from IC 4970 has likely pulled over some of NGC 6872's deep reservoir of cold gas (seen prominently in the Spitzer data), providing a new fuel supply to power the giant black hole.

This composite image of M31 (also known as the Andromeda galaxy) shows X-ray data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in gold, optical data from the Digitized Sky Survey in light blue and infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope in red. The Chandra data covers only the central region of M31 as shown in the inset box for the image.
New results show that the Chandra image would be about 40 times brighter than observed if Type Ia supernova in the bulge of this galaxy were triggered by material from a normal star falling onto a white dwarf star. This implies that the merger of two white dwarfs is the main trigger for Type Ia supernovas for the area observed by Chandra. Similar results for five elliptical galaxies were found. These findings represent a major advance in understanding the origin of Type Ia supernovas, explosions that are used as cosmic mile markers to measure the accelerated expansion of the universe and study dark energy. Most scientists agree that a Type Ia supernova occurs when a white dwarf star -- a collapsed remnant of an elderly star -- exceeds its weight limit, becomes unstable and explodes. However, there is uncertainty about what pushes the white dwarf over the edge, either accretion onto the white dwarf or a merger between two white dwarfs.
A Type Ia supernova caused by accreting material produces significant X-ray emission prior to the explosion. A supernova from a merger of two white dwarfs, on the other hand, would create significantly less. The scientists used the difference to decide between these two scenarios by examining the new Chandra data.
A third, less likely possibility is that the supernova explosion is triggered, in the accretion scenario, before the white dwarf reaches the expected mass limit. In this case, the detectable X-ray emission could be much lower than assumed for the accretion scenario. However, simulations of such explosions do not show agreement with the observed properties of Type Ia supernovas.

More about NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope
What looks like a red butterfly in space is in reality a nursery for hundreds of baby stars, revealed in this infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Officially named W40, the butterfly is a nebula – a giant cloud of gas and dust in space where new stars may form. The butterfly's "wings" are giant bubbles of hot, interstellar gas blowing from the hottest, most massive stars in this region.
The material that forms W40's wings was ejected from a dense cluster of stars that lies between the wings in the image. The hottest, most massive of these stars, W40 IRS 1a, lies near the center of the star cluster.
W40 is about 1,400 light-years from the Sun, about the same distance as the well-known Orion nebula, although the two are almost 180 degrees apart in the sky.

This Jan. 10, 2013, composite image of the giant barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 combines visible light images from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope with far-ultraviolet data from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and infrared data acquired by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. NGC 6872 is 522,000 light-years across, making it more than five times the size of the Milky Way galaxy. In 2013, astronomers from the United States, Chile, and Brazil found it to be the largest-known spiral galaxy, based on archival data from GALEX.

Gaseous swirls of hydrogen, sulfur, and hydrocarbons cradle a collection of infant stars in this composite image of the Orion Nebula, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space telescope. Together, the two telescopes expose carbon-rich molecules in the cosmic cloud of this star-formation factory located 1,500 light-years away.
Hubble's ultraviolet and visible-light view reveal hydrogen and sulfur gas that have been heated and ionized by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive stars, collectively known as the "Trapezium." Meanwhile, Spitzer's infrared view exposes carbon-rich molecules in the cloud. Together, the telescopes expose the stars in Orion as a rainbow of dots sprinkled throughout the image.

Sixteen years ago, NASA launched its Spitzer Space Telescope into orbit around the Sun. Since the observatory launched on Aug. 25, 2003, it has been lifting the veil on the wonders of the cosmos, from our own solar system to faraway galaxies, using infrared light. Spitzer's primary mission lasted five-and-a-half years and ended when it ran out of the liquid helium coolant necessary to operate two of its three instruments. But its passive-cooling design has allowed part of its third instrument to continue operating for more than 10 additional years. The mission is scheduled to end on Jan. 30, 2020.
This Spitzer image shows the giant star Zeta Ophiuchi and the bow shock, or shock wave, in front of it. Visible only in infrared light, the bow shock is created by winds that flow from the star, making ripples in the surrounding dust. Located roughly 370 light-years from Earth, Zeta Ophiuchi dwarfs our Sun: It is about six times hotter, eight times wider, 20 times more massive and about 80,000 times as bright. Even at its great distance, it would be one of the brightest stars in the sky were it not largely obscured by dust clouds.

A dragon-shaped cloud of dust seems to fly out from a bright explosion in this infrared light image from the Spitzer Space Telescope.
These views have revealed that this dark cloud, called M17 SWex, is forming stars at a furious rate but has not yet spawned the most massive type of stars, known as O stars. Such stellar behemoths, however, light up the M17 nebula at the image's center and have also blown a huge "bubble" in the gas and dust that forms M17's luminous left edge.
The stars and gas in this region are now passing though the Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way (moving from right to left), touching off a galactic "domino effect." The youngest episode of star formation is playing out inside the dusty dragon as it enters the spiral arm. Over time this area will flare up like the bright M17 nebula, glowing in the light of young, massive stars. The remnants of an older burst of star formation blew the bubble to the left.
This is a three-color composite that shows infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and green shows light of 8 microns, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer.

NASA's Spitzer Infra Red Space Telescope.
Rare Luminous Blue Variable star - G79.29+0.46, located between Deneb and Sadr.
This image is a widefield composite mosaic from the Cygnus X region of the sky between the star Deneb and the diffuse emission nebula region of Sadr, taken by NASA's Spitzer Infra Red Space Telescope. The red circular object near the centre of the image is 79.29+0.46, an extremely rare type of very bright, unstable, volatile star called a Luminous Blue Variable star (LVB). The two red circles are shells of material that were cast off from the outer layers of the star and formed by the outward shock waves of these two recent massive expulsions, each expulsion being not quite at the energy level of a supernova.
This star and the other objects in this image can not be seen with regular optical telescopes that use the normal visible light spectrum, such as the Hubble Space Telescope. That's because this entire field is shrouded in multiple layers of dense, opaque dust and gas clouds. Visible light cannot penetrate these opaque dust and gas structures, but infra red light with its much longer wavelengths can.
Infra red light waves are emitted by the space objects in the form of varying degrees of heat energy—longer wavelengths in the red part of the light spectrum—and the telescope's camera sensors register these different heat energy signals to form images. This is how heat-sensitive cameras today can find people from the air who are lost in the forest.
The above image is composed of 3 separate image exposures taken at three different IR wavelengths, 5.8 μm (microns), 8 μm and 24 μm. We then take these different wavelength images and in our computers we assign different colours to the different wavelengths and combine them to form a colour image like the one seen above. Here I have assigned the colour blue to the 5.8 μm image, green to 8 μm and red to 24 μm.

Data acquisition: Spitzer Space Telescope, NASA
Data processing: Rudy Pohl
Image: RGB image as per colour mapping below
Colour mapping:
.... red channel: 24 μm Spitzer
.... green channel: 8 μm Spitzer, + (.5*red Spitzer + .5*blue Spitzer)
.... blue channel: 5.8 μm Spitzer
Processing software: ESA/ESO/NASA Fits Liberator 3, Photoshop CS5
Important Processing Note:
When the image data from the green channel is combined into the RGB image in the scientifically correct proportion together with the blue and red channels, the resultant image is overwhelmingly green, far too green for my personal tastes from a purely aesthetic perspective. Therefore, I took the liberty to significantly suppress the green in all three of my Cygnus X Spitzer images, this one included.
Newborn stars, hidden behind thick dust, are revealed in this image of a section of the so-called Christmas Tree Cluster from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The newly revealed infant stars appear as pink and red specks toward the center and appear to have formed in regularly spaced intervals along linear structures in a configuration that resembles the spokes of a wheel or the pattern of a snowflake. Hence, astronomers have nicknamed this the "Snowflake Cluster."
Star-forming clouds like this one are dynamic and evolving structures. Since the stars trace the straight line pattern of spokes of a wheel, scientists believe that these are newborn stars, or "protostars." At a mere 100,000 years old, these infant structures have yet to "crawl" away from their location of birth. Over time, the natural drifting motions of each star will break this order, and the snowflake design will be no more.
While most of the visible-light stars that give the Christmas Tree Cluster its name and triangular shape do not shine brightly in Spitzer's infrared eyes, all of the stars forming from this dusty cloud are considered part of the cluster.
Like a dusty cosmic finger pointing up to the newborn clusters, Spitzer also illuminates the optically dark and dense Cone Nebula, the tip of which can be seen towards the bottom left corner of the image.

Wertheim - Boote in der Tauber kurz vor der Mündung in den Main, rechts hinten der „Spitze Turm"
Wertheim ist die nördlichste Stadt Baden-Württembergs und liegt an der Mündung der Tauber in den Main, an den Ausläufern des Odenwaldes bzw. des Spessarts jenseits des Mains.
In this large celestial mosaic taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and published in 2019, there's a lot to see, including multiple clusters of stars born from the same dense clumps of gas and dust. Some of these clusters are older than others and more evolved, making this a generational stellar portrait. This image is of the Cepheus C and Cepheus B regions and combines data from Spitzer's IRAC and MIPS instruments.
The grand green-and-orange delta filling most of the image is a faraway nebula, or a cloud of gas and dust in space. Though the cloud may appear to flow from the bright white spot at its tip, it is actually what remains of a much larger cloud that has been carved away by radiation from stars. The bright region is illuminated by massive stars, belonging to a cluster that extends above the white spot. The white color is the combination of four colors (blue, green, orange and red), each representing a different wavelength of infrared light, which is invisible to human eyes. Dust that has been heated by the stars' radiation creates the surrounding red glow.

Spitzer Space Telescope - Mission Overview
Artist's concept of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope
The Spitzer Space Telescope was the final mission in NASA's Great Observatories Program - a family of four space-based observatories, each observing the Universe in a different kind of light. The other missions in the program include the visible-light Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO).
Spitzer was designed to detect infrared radiation, which is primarily heat radiation. It was comprised of two major components:
The Cryogenic Telescope Assembly, which contained the 85 centimeter telescope and Spitzer's three scientific instruments.
The Spacecraft, which controlled the telescope, provided power to the instruments, handled the scientific data and communicated with Earth.
It may seem like a contradiction, but NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope had to be simultaneously warm and cold to function properly. Everything in the Cryogenic Telescope Assembly had to be cooled to only a few degrees above absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit, or -273 degrees Celsius). This was achieved with an onboard tank of liquid helium, or cryogen. Meanwhile, electronic equipment in The Spacecraft portion needed to operate near room temperature.
Spitzer's highly sensitive instruments allowed scientists to peer into cosmic regions that are hidden from optical telescopes, including dusty stellar nurseries, the centers of galaxies, and newly forming planetary systems. Spitzer's infrared eyes also allowed astronomers to see cooler objects in space, such as failed stars (brown dwarfs), extrasolar planets, giant molecular clouds, and organic molecules that may hold the secret to life on other planets.
Spitzer was originally built to last for a minimum of 2.5 years, but it lasted in the cold phase for over 5.5 years. On May 15, 2009 the coolant was finally depleted and the Spitzer "warm mission" began. Providing imaging with two channels (at 3.6 and 4.5 microns) in one of its instruments (IRAC), Spitzer continued to operate until January 30, 2020. The warm mission became the "Spitzer Beyond" mission in August 2016. NASA announced in May 2019 that it would end the Spitzer mission on January 30, 2020, naming the remaining mission the “Spitzer Final Voyage”.
