The map’s perspective places the plane of the Milky Way centered horizontally across the map. The bursts are color-coordinated according to intensity with long, intense bursts colored red, and short, weaker bursts colored purple. Note that the majority of the bursts are colored green, which denote medium energy and/or duration. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/BATSE_2704/BATSE_2704.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Keck_telescope_mount/Keck_telescope_mount.dc.xml The twin Keck telescopes are located on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii.

Shorter bursts (less than two seconds in duration) are thought to be caused by mergers of binary systems with black holes or neutron stars. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Neutron_Star_Merge_H264_High_960x540/Neutron_Star_Merge_H264_High_960x540.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Swift-Soft-Gamma-Ray-Repeater-10366-date-overlay/Swift-Soft-Gamma-Ray_Repeater-10366-date-overlay.dc.xml Swift's X-Ray Telescope (XRT) captured an apparent expanding halo around the flaring neutron star SGR J1550-5418. The halo formed as X-rays from the brightest flares scattered off of intervening dust clouds. The animation shows the glow of the halo pulsing and dispersing over six days in January 2009. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/Swift-Soft-Gamma-Ray-Repeater-10366-date-overlay/Swift-Soft-Gamma-Ray_Repeater-10366-date-overlay.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC.dc.xml Gamma-ray flares from SGR J1550-5418 may arise when the magnetar's surface suddenly cracks, releasing energy stored within its powerful magnetic field. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC/a010300_NeutronStar_NTSC.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/aristotle-solar-system/aristotle-solar-system.dc.xml Illustration of Oronce Fine, Astronomy personified and an armillary sphere. http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/aristotle-solar-system/aristotle-solar-system.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/armstrong_on_the_moon/armstrong_on_the_moon.dc.xml This is one of the few photographs of Neil Armstrong on the moon; most images are of Buzz Aldrin.

The shield on the left represents Copernicus's view of the Universe (1543) with the Sun at the center of the Universe and all of the planets, including the Earth moving around it. Copernicus's model was opposed by the Church which held that the Earth was the center of the Universe. The shield on the right depicts Tycho Brahe's model of the Universe (1588) which reconciles the Copernican model with the early Ptolemaic model (ca. 150) in which the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all revolve around the Earth. Brahe's model allows that the other planets revolve around the Sun, but maintains that the Earth is the stationary center of the Universe around which the Sun, dragging all of the planets with it, as well as the Moon, revolve. Brahe's shield carries more weight (tilts the balance) in this picture because the Church, a powerful arbiter of scientific thought in the 17th century, supported Brahe's mode... http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/ptolemy_cosmos/ptolemy_cosmos.dc.xml Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/vela5b_5/vela5b_5.dc.xml The Vela satellites provided much information useful to astronomers studying gamma radiation from space.
