THE LONGARM HURRICANE



Click for full size
Click for original

Impacting the coast of Brazil in the spring of 2004, this hurricane is anomalous for two reasons: 1- it is in the south atlantic where no hurricanes have ever been seen before, and 2- its center eye is cold revealing that its formation properties are not usual

In obvious place, a very long arm winds around the lower outskirts heading east. The image does not reveal is the arm is being sucked in to the center eye, or is streaming out. How the longarm formed is perhaps a significant modelling means for how some longarms can form in galaxies

Not withstanding the lack of high displacement vertical structure, the hurricane eerily models a class of galaxies in which longarms have been gathering in to a tight synch around a lens shaped oval interior with a round central eye

GIANT SIZE, AND PROOF OF CURRENT COLLISION, FOR M66

Any which way it is looked at, odd spiral galaxy M66 is huge. Two images, from CFHT, and VLT, both feature a bright galaxy with features detailed. However, the super size of M66 is not inferenced in the bright feature views

Next is a bright feature CFHT photo, center portion zoomed, and staged side by side in two identical mono's for 3D viewing (merge any two mono images together by eyesight to see stereo)



Demarkation boundries are easy to see between one galaxy and another currently in collision. A wide incise swath breaching horizontally to the left shows where one galaxy is settling in (through) the other whose matter is blue. Diffuse canopy material outsweeping to the left and above (and still containing vague outlines of original arms), is the result of smoothing as material of one galaxy has slid over the material of the other galaxy. This paragraph, at minimum, describes the current state of the ongoing collision.

The activity engineering is not unlike that seen in a dramatic current ongoing galaxy collision known as Ngc 3314 (warning - the Ngc 3314 page is long and can have a long load time)





The above closeup is starting to pixelate, that is, the zoom is borderline too large and the image details are breaking up into square areas lacking distinction. With this fault announced, it is still a useful zoom to show in a clear cut way which different areas of the conglomarate come from each of the two different galaxies in current collision

For instance it is clear in 3D (merge any two mono images together by eyesight to see stereo) that the center disturbed core, now an elongated oval, is also tipped on a leftward slant. This is consistent with one core at one plane of elevation settling into another at a sharply declented different tilt in elevation

Next is the CFHT photo, full sized, enhanced, showing dimmer galaxy parts so large the image extends beyond the picture frame

NGC 3627 (M66) FROM VLT (VERY LARGE TELESCOPE ARRAY)

Note: VLT photos are inherently blurry

Three large disturbed spiral galaxies in VLA images have very large superstructures made of thick diffuse low radiant materials

Enhancement by gamma correction for each reveals their missing mass

NGC 3627

Large spiral galaxy Ngc 3627 (M66). Original at left, gamma enhanced at right. At least two galaxies merging - blue is one, red/brown the other







NGC 613

Large spiral galaxy Ngc 613. Original at left, gamma enhanced at right. Merger, of similar materials, probably one galaxy was rotating in contra direction to the other, the result a heaving deck not unlike choppy waters which momentarily spring up at the change of tides when insurging oceon or sea waters fall idle as outsurge of waters begin - at that interface the water surface becomes very vertically choppy for some minutes due to the inherent separations of two distinct angular momemtums before the waters have had time to merge anew in a tide whose direction of flow has abruptly changed





NGC 1792

Large spiral galaxy Ngc 1792. Original at left, gamma enhanced at right. Probably several tangled long arm spirals involved with intermixing of colors making it awkard to try and separate one from another. A long thin arm, perhaps an original antenna longarm, extends from the left arcing a long way through deep space this way toward the camera (best seen in 3D where the extensive length of the longarm is unmistakable)





ABOUT THE VLT

The VLT is able to take greater pictures by linking more than one scope together forming a larger base mirror with thus larger base angle. Three lenses spread across the front of your yard can work, under certain conditions, as if one very large lens spreads across the whole of your front yard. It means in using the VLT that one or a few shots on a large object can take the place of dozens even hundreds of very tiny shots to get the same 'composited' resolution and object size

HUBBLE ACS CAMERA KICKS IN WITH A REAL BEAUTY

Unabashably beautiful, this astronomy item photographed (Feb 2004) is a work of celestial beauty formed as a fussing star acting up acted up again huffing a spew of high speed energy and high energy radiation out enough to illuminate by excitement earlier huffs and puffs by the star



Colorized highlights added to sharpen a few more salient features





A large tympanic formation looking like an upside down withered mushroom juts inward from the upper left toward center circle





Officially known as V838 Monoserotis, This is the 5th taken of the star, four earlier shots are in the Hubble site composite next dating back to when Monoserotis was first spotted in 2002



ZOOM

Is this possibly a star with a proto disk, whose sharp round outline is masking the nebula behind it



The large dark dot with noticable missing media around the star at centerpoint may be a proto disk or big disk around a small star, it would be a foreground star in that it (if foreground) masks V838 behind the disk

Enhanced



A former explosive blowoff ring from an estimated 20,000 years ago had begun to glow revealing details about its long time silent existence

In three of the four picture corners, streamers can be seen extending backward in non coherent parallels, that is, each corner's streamers are in a different vector away from the glowing ring, this shows that the gas ring's fluid dynamics are extensive and torgued laterally, a smoke ring from a comedian's cigar this is not, an exploding cigar is a more suitable analogy. All of the field lines are radiating rearward. The disk is warped. The v shaped bulge (lower right) is closest to the camera





Enhancement shows size of the older outer ring now starting to light up by the shock wave of the supernova blast. The ring is cammed, it has an off center principle axis leaning to the left shielding some of the ring behind it, the right and lower edges are closer to us this bias exposing more of the right and upper ring and its deeper width around the upper and right side of the oval. The Hubble Acs view has not captured all of the ring, portions of the ring extend beyond the picture frame

INNER CORE GROUP

Vague horizontal and vertical inner kernal structures are discernable within the larger glowing outring including what seems to be a thick horizontal ring which is actually a tether from the outer ring back into the center, another tether from the lower (blue) vertical object comes out to the outer ring's right inside hem. These indications are enough to give inkling regards which way this inner core group will be evolving

Tethers like this (from outer ring to inner kernal) are very well modelled by the Cartwheel galaxy whose more pronounced feature are tethers carrying currents linking the ring and core

NCNEIL'S STAR IN ORION
------------------------------------

A followup study by Gemini in Hawaii has focused on details involving the star itself, showing the star has brightened. Enhancement shows a sharp angled long tongue from the top surface, and a below depth in the nebula. Long vertical fronds flare up from a leading front edge sourced at or near the star. Earlier (first discovery) images are further below

FIRST DISCOVERY IMAGES


Mcneil's star near nebula M78 in the upper regions of Orion, was spotted appearing in an amateur digital photo with telescope lens (by Jay Mcneil) in February 2004, where no star had been seen prior, it is believed to be an extraordinary capture of a star suddenly turning on

The orginal shows the star and its fuss with nothing else visible in the region. Enhancements (images below) show a region dense with formations, revealing that even small scale electronic cameras can capture absorbing amounts of dim media data

The star seems to have a tail or gently widening stream arching back into an opening, the opening itself is a curved tube which continues the curvature of the stream

At the bottom of the picture, trunkated, is a prismatic radial arm artifact of unknown kind thrusting forward. Enhancements show more detail and stereo depth when enhanced particularly in red

The fact of the stream, which seems a possible disk orbital path, suggests the star turnon may be the result of a collision of two silent bodies meeting and greeting within a tiny depth field in which individual dynamics could not sustain. This is another way of saying impact (especially if one body is fast travelling with high kenetics) could have powerful results, what consitituted the turnon is... ooops, time for theory specialists I retire -GM







Enhancement of all frequencies uniformly shows a dull grey overtone with purple and red/brown matter fields where details are hard to penetrate, which is why red was used in the above views, red worked







Or, a silent body was in a mass region dense enough for a cavity to suddenly depart its resident density and travel accelarating rapidly toward the center of the silent body, enough to turn on nuclear furnaces and cause a fuss offbiased to the north/west.

The opening from which the stream arc exits, and the stream arc itself, under the high red enhancement of the above image, have taken on a vague but indicative outline of a tympany resonator such that the opening is a six sided fractal cavity and the arc stream is actually an elbow arm. If true (a tympany) then colliding silent bodies are probably ruled out

These GM enhancements of the Mcneil image are undersandably very low quality, to get around lack of detailing (DPI), I have used large images, which in a brower window shrink with intrinsically increased apparent (DPI) over less intrinsic (DPI) - poorer details - which result from using smaller images
