HOW LASERS IN NEBULA WORK - EXAMPLING THE DUMBBELL NEBULA

Bangles adorn pole polarities in nebulas

  to bottom    

I know how lasers work in nebula. It is not because I am a genius - lesser gods forbid I should think that. It is because a medical doctor named Gendler posted a new image of the dumbbell nebula which he made in 8 hours of digital exposures using techniques that only the world's best massive telescope imagizers do not lust for.

The Gendler image got me empassioned enough to spare a few minutes surfing ruff on the internet and right off within the expected time waste is a second dumbbell image! from Noao, which showed vague outlines similar to those more outer outlines shown as plain as day as red glowing hydrogen by Gendler. Yes now we have a concept performed by two back to back images from two entirely different imaging techniques, digital backyard - Gendler, and major optical telescope - Noao.

DUMBBELL BY GENDLER

These (red) Dumbbell images are also used in a different context regarding bangles.



Gendler original at left, enhancement showing more of the bi-polar cowlings, at right. No fault,
(I was very happy to see this image), is assigned to density and media quality of the Gendler original. The entertainment is in seeing bi-polar cowlings for the first time in self evident clarity. Cowling is the oval opening through which the red jet issues - an excitement zone very specifically fundamental in the physics of certain classes of nebula, of which the Dumbbell is a prime example. More follows below.

The globe in blue and red is not a sphere it is transparant (as digitally photographed entirely in hydrogen redlight, and irregular the transparancy a fundamental feature seen in virtual stereo but not in mono by 2 dimensional eyesight, anyone doing 2D theories about nebulas has to scrumple their best 'papers' amd pitch them in the waste basket. Many 'theorists' doing newbies about nebulas in 2D seem past bound.









Along with a red vector firing out of the magnetic cone, tracers are seen firing from the hem as tiny red threads those around the cone engineered to obey something in the cone, altering their direction when firing from the hem. The red vector may be a blazer ray, which results when a super thin laser rays fires from a star so thin so high frequency it is not visible in the photo. When such a ray invisibly fires through mass it instantly becomes visible by exciting the mass. The resulting blazer ray is noticably irregular dense-thin-dense its length and dissapears and reappears when intermittantly running out of mass to ignite into plasma.

The whole shell itself including the inner cavity seems to be rotating counterclocking with respect to the vector of the ray. Froth is descending at an inner directed angle (a slice of apple pie) indicating that matter is passing, rotating slowly, up at an incline angle through the beam of the ray and is being excited, the excitement in self evidence on the descending side of the beam and abruptly not there above the ray.

The global area where the red jet is blasting through diffuse medias is very busy in frequencies of 'absorption' blue light. The red ray at first glance seems as if lifting vertically making a second hand sweep through media but closer inspection in the previous three closeup rightside views shows that the ray is coherent and is firing through media, but not sweeping up like a second hand (which would have - if sweeping up - revealed a rotation motion in the center source independent of the rotational groupings of the whole nebula.

LASER BEAM

The ray is actually a beam, where an invisible thin ray is passing through matter exciting the matter into colors that radiate in visible light, the exciter rays per se are not visible.

At first I had thought the central micro quasar (nuked star) was rotating so that twin rays were moving upward as if a cross axis gimble of a gyroscope but details in the image say this is not so. On the right side a bulge of matter rides over the top of the red ray out at the global circumpherence, the red in the bulge is not from the ray moving down through it, rather, it happened that the bulge lifted up through the ray in the generic rotation of the whole globe.

Outer residue from a former shell explosion is more easily seen in this old black and white enhanced to maximum.

Dumbbell image (green) from Noao.

Stereo and zoom. In the colors of this Noao image, diffuse matter is seen to fill the cavity within the sphere, so that the cavity is not a void, in other words, the void seems transparant in certain colors and is not transparent in other colors.

Let us see that the pink (lower right) is shooting out being spun around outward to the right from within depths to the left inward toward center.





No ray on the left.





I quickly found (in less than a minute after download) that the Noao image was missing much of its content. Enhancing somewhat vigorously revealed the Gendler finds but also (because of the frequencies used) revealed more intense blazer patterns, and, a striking laser-like jet out the rightside bangle. (A bangle is a small hot area on the edge of a nebula circumpherence when energies tangle where push becomes a shove back).

Whoah giddyup, A = C, that is, the leftside jet is rearward, so we do not see it clearly. It was the preciseness at which the clock-paired pizza slices became self evident when I cranked the reostats beyond recklessness in enhancing the Noao image, that told the story why only an invisible high excitement beam that could pass through media and still stay coherent, is the cause of the two bright glowing wedges on exactly the two opposite sides of the clock.

Punch punch punch the last punch SCORES!

Ergo! the center sender is rotating counterclockwise, relative to the circumpherence at which the twin slices form their arcs. If the whole nebula is station keeping not moving in the universal laboratory frame, the center sender is rotating clockwise at exactly the rotation speed needed to excite the slices from the instant the center source lasers turned on. However, we have ruled this local motion out, in examining the above Gendler image. Responsible is global rotation of the whole body counterclockwise, with the center gimble stationary relative to the universe at large also stationary. The picture is stationary universe, rotating globe, stationary micro quasar gimble.

If the outer shell is rotating in multiple axis, which no doubt it is, the length of the arc of the sections of the hot slices can tell only how much the center source has rotated counterclockwise relative to the outer skin since turning on, but cannot tell how much, or in which directions, the center source has actually turned and revolved relative to the universe. A compass on a gimble in a mariner's wheelhouse moves relative to the universe, even though the south pole of the compass in the gimble is pointed to the north pole, as the mariner uses it to steer his cargo vessel left and right between shoals.

I expect no defeat here, however, there will be nebula whose intricates can be detailed enough to show relative motions of the center source revolving on more than one axis. That would confirm, that center sources can rotate on more than one axis at the same time, if they in fact do.

A short boxing match between the two hemispheres of my brain brought a quick decision, those slices can only be the product of twin bi-polar laser rays behaving like a twin-ray lighthouse in slow motion, the slicing in the fog visible only from the moment the ray(s) abruptly turn on. Ahem. Wet fingertip. Brush eyebrow.

Wipe forehead, its not a cinched deal. A rotating globe around a stationary twin ray laser pistol will also create the v shaped wedges on either side of the sphere. A clock with twin second hands one starting at 12 the other at 6 and set into motion will sweep out increasing wedges closing the gap until the 6 oclock hand reaches midnight and the 12 oclock second hand reaches 6.

The wedges occupy more than 90 degree slices so the sphere, if not a rotating laser pistol, is heading toward a full sweep around the two sides of the spherical clock. We are seeing the wedges at an angle, to see them full on requires the sphere to be rotated upward on a horizontal axis and turned right side away - left side toward us, on a vertical axis, in which case (re-aligned) it is possible the nebula will seem somewhat more symmetrical (both sides more similar) regards the actual shape of the wedges. Irregularities in the dust drifting around inside the sphere will make the left/right symmetry less than perfect.

In the Noao highly enhanced image, streakers called 'blazers' are seen in radiants shooting from the edge of the hemispere, these all point to the center star, vague streakers are seen in the lower right pointing to the bangle at the circumpherence. 'Blazers', also called 'tracers', are a big subject, explored here.

As well, a jet shooting forward throught the right side bangle is well defined.

Now let us have a   realllllll   gooddddd   lookkkkk   at the two polar rays shooting through the bangles, and the incised very precise crescents of excitement inside the little right side circle through which passes the right ray.

Those two incised, have very precise leading edges, they are staight lines behind which trail excited yuppies glowing brightly. These incises can have only one logical answer - invisible laser rays are firing in opposite directions from the star, when passing through gas and matter, the material is excited by energy in the laser rays. The center star (and/or laser source) is slowly rotating counterclockwise, cause the twin laser rays to sweep like 180 degree opposite twin lighthouse beams, to sweep as they steady state fire through the matter exciting it.

Picture two second hands on a clock, one at the 9:00 oclock the other at 3 oclock, progressing ten minutes together to 11:00 oclock and 5 oclock. This is exactly what is seen inside the active circumpherence of the Dumbbell nebula, the twin areas already swept and so are abruptly highlky excited are detailing the current lifetime of the invisible high energy twin laser rays issuing from the center power source body.

With this, we can assert that laser rays (totally coherent light all waves in identical phase/polarity so that the 'laser' ray travels extreme long distances before widening out of focus by chance scatterings, are hooting out from dumbbell central and are giving jive dance to the material through which each twin bi-polar ray is passing giving jitterbug dance steps to the molecules, creating the two slices of pizza one between 9 and 11 oclock the other arcing between 3 and 5 oclock. Thank you Dr. Gelder, it got me looking back in time for any other view showing your red mass instead in APOD I saw this green jobbie which enhanced well enough to show how the LASERS WORKED!

It behooves me little to proclaim in the rumbling trumpeting voice of an old elephant 'I saw these blazers first', give fame proclaims to meeeee' - the importance is they are seen and who was first means nothing in terms of understanding exploding popcorn kernals streakers (popcorn exploding at hems) plus blazers (lazer rays shooting from center and scattering into broad beams exciting matter through which the invisible laser rays pass.

A fractal hexagram seems to be immediately upper right of the center star however this is not definative, too diffuse to be certain.

This (at left) enhanced image of Ngc 2371 is shown here. I have been calling these busy little long distance vortexes 'bangles', just in case you have not linked to see bangles yet.





  to bottom   DUMBBELL NEBULA HAS ANCIENT FORMER EXPLOSION SHELLS AROUND ITS OUTSKIRTS


Images following are from early studies per a moi seeking a reading on the full size of the Dumbbell nebula including older faded and jaded outer shells. What was found, cruising the high velocity upscale astronomy picture gallery sites on the internet of a couple of years ago circ 2001, are mostly black and white and are of little use anymore.

One recent (summer 2003) image by Gendler has captured a large body with residual outskirts still glowing in red. Another photo posted by Noao in 2002 also shows outskirts, though, photographed in different frequencies, shows not so much detail in the near infra red and longer optical red ranges where the dull red outer ranges still glow in hydrogen.

The true shape of the Dumbbell nebula (also known as M27) in this (next) test image by VLT is not seen.



Enhanced, the true outreach size is only indicated by symmetry arms extending upper right and lower left offscreen.

The true size can be seen in this Dss plate of M27. Image left is Dss 1st gen, center is Dss 2nd gen (red), right is 2nd gen (blue).



Obviously, the red version contains better detail infomation showing the full size of the Dumbbell nebula.





Outer residue from a former shell explosion is more easily seen in this old black and white enhanced to maximum.







Knowing about the outer ancient shell will help theorists form more correct symposiums about how the nebula formed, how it is evolving.
