The New Updates - End of the Year News

Howdy folks! Well, Historical Bytes have been fully updated and posted. I hope they are a worthy read. The news feed right has been an excellent addition (I now use it myself!) and so will remain. I am currently in the process of a End of the Year page and after that is completed, will take some time off for the holidays. I will return to positing at this site in Jan 2010 with part two of Art and Artists of the Universe. So as usual ... Happy Holidays, Be Good and Take Care Everyone, Everywhere ... Ciao!

Found in the Constellation Orion and part of the ORION B molecular cloud is the stellar object known as the Flame Nebula. This nebula shines as a result of the ultraviolet light, from the nearby star Alnitak, which is exciting the electrons within the hydrogen gas of the cloud — ionization. When the electrons and ionized hydrogen recombine they give off the visual light primarily at a wavelength of 656.3 nanometers, thus giving hydrogen emission nebulae their characteristic red color.
