And the hardest part for me to grasp is what it all comes down to is knowledge. Had I known then, what I know now, my daughter would still be alive. Celebrity Deaths: 's Fallen Stars.
She continued, "It's awareness of survival swim lessons, the false sense of security we give our children when we put them in puddle jumpers, it's awareness of the relationship and beliefs we teach our children in thinking that water is a fun and safe place to be, awareness that drowning should have been my 1 concern in any situation since most drownings occur during non swim times and is THE 1 CAUSE OF DEATH for children under the age of 5.
Morgan and Bode are also parents to Nash , 6. Bode is dad to daughter Dace , 13, and son Nate , 8, from previous relationships. It is murder beyond evil. A harrowing crime befell Tapul, a mountain barangay in Talisay As international borders reopen, many eyes are turning to the skies. But not all passports are created equal.
So, where does Philippines rank when it comes to visa-free travel? Footage of a man urinating at an airport terminal has been viewed thousands of times in social media posts that claim he is Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan. The video surfaced after Aryan was arrested in a drugs bust in October. The claim is false; the footage circulated in reports from that name the man as "Twilight" star Bronson Pelletier.
The footage -- which has. Members of the Cebu City Council have been besieged with information and complaints about people purportedly with the crews of Visayan Electric Co.
Veco dema Although street dancing Read full article. He had a hard time finding housing in Los Angeles and was followed by the Ku Klux Klan when he visited Mississippi in , not long after three civil rights workers had been murdered there.
In interviews, journalists often ignored his work and asked him instead about race and current events. Poitier was not as engaged politically as his friend and contemporary Belafonte, but he participated in the March on Washington and other civil rights events, and as an actor defended himself and risked his career.
He refused to sign loyalty oaths during the s, when Hollywood was blacklisting suspected Communists, and turned down roles he found offensive. I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values. His screen career faded in the late s as political movements, Black and white, became more radical and movies more explicit.

Posted: January 7, PM. Updated: January 7, PM. RS Puppis is a star known as a Cepheid variable: aging stars that pulsate, with predictable fluctuations in their light.
This southern hemisphere star pulsates roughly every six weeks, creating "light echoes" in the surrounding gas. Early 20th-century astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt discovered that Cepheid variables have a connection between the frequency of fluctuations and their brightness, which allowed Edwin Hubble to make the first measurement of the distance to Andromeda Galaxy. As part of the giant planet monitoring program, HST captured this beautiful image of Saturn.
Not only are the planet's famous rings shown clearly, but you can also see the hexagonal storm at Saturn's north pole, a feature not identified before the Cassini spacecraft mission.
Earth's seasons are caused by the fact that our axis is tilted, so the north pole points toward the sun in the summer and away in winter.
Saturn has an even stronger axial tilt, but Hubble captured this ultraviolet image near the planet's equinox so that both poles were nearly in view at once.
That allows us to see the auroras—northern and southern lights—in a single image, a rare occurrence. The bright star-light object toward the lower-left corner of this image is Supernova D, on the outskirts of the galaxy NGC It's a Type Ia supernova, which is the explosion of a white dwarf the remnant of the core of a star like our sun.
Astronomers use Type Ia supernovas to measure the expansion of the universe because they're bright enough to be seen from billions of light-years away.

As a "grand design" spiral galaxy, the spiral arms are clearly defined, dotted with bright young blue stars and pink clouds where new stars are forming.
Gravitational interactions with the smaller galaxy likely drive this star formation at the right side of the image. The Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula, the shedded material from a dying sun-like star.
We see this system from an angle that shows the ring structure, but this HST image reveals the blue part of the nebula is an oblong bubble that passes through the ring. At the Ring Nebula's very center, you can make out a white dot that is a white dwarf, the remnant of the original star's core. The two largest known objects beyond Neptune in our solar system are Eris and Pluto; the third-largest is Gonggong, discovered in and finally named in These HST images show how astronomers discovered its moon Xiangliu by comparing archival pictures and looking for how things changed.
Gonggong, like other distant solar system worlds, is too small to be anything but a pinpoint of light in most telescopes, requiring observatories of Hubble's caliber. Following up on the earlier Hubble Deep Field Survey, astronomers upped the ante and conducted the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey, looking at one relatively empty patch of the sky for roughly 1 million seconds nearly 12 full days.
This longer exposure revealed 10, galaxies, including some of the most distant yet discovered. The Bullet Cluster is actually two galaxy clusters caught in the act of collision, where the "bullet" is a shockwave in X-ray emitting hot gas from Chandra, shown in red. The visible light Hubble data allowed astronomers to measure where the mass from each cluster was concentrated shown in blue. They found most of that mass was separated from the hot gas, meaning it's made up of invisible matter; this is one of the best direct measurements of the mysterious dark matter that makes up most of the matter in the cosmos.

The Voyager 2 spacecraft provided us with our first images of Neptune with its flyby, showing, in particular, a large dark-colored storm on the planet's blue disk. Later Hubble pictures didn't show this Great Dark Spot, meaning the storm had dissipated. However, a new Great Dark Spot formed in a different place on Neptune, as seen in this image; this behavior shows how huge storms form and break up on giant worlds.
Quasars are supermassive black holes that heat up matter until it glows brightly. In these HST pictures, gravity from a foreground galaxy focuses and splits light from more distant quasars, making one quasar look like four.
This effect is known as strong gravitational lensing, and astronomers use it to measure how far those quasars are from Earth by timing when each image flickers. The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy M83 is a "flocculent" spiral galaxy, meaning its spiral arms look fleecy thanks to the copious amounts of gas and dust they contain. This high-resolution image of M83 reveals the processes of star formation and cavities where stars exploded in supernovas.
The Great Nebula of Orion is a star-forming nebula that can be seen on a dark night without a telescope in Orion's "sword. Though we can't see the whole thing, this shockwave surrounds the star, though not in a spherical shape. The two galaxies making up the object Arp collided, their mutual gravity pulling one of the galaxies into a shape resembling a galactic penguin. This penguin was once a spiral galaxy like ours, but the encounter has disrupted its shape and driven the production of new stars.
The second object is an elliptical galaxy, which consists of older stars and little gas, which may be why its shape hasn't been roughed up as much by the collision. You may also like: U. Army history from the year you were born. These two images show disks of dust and ice around newborn stars, which are thought to resemble the Kuiper Belt in the outer part of our own solar system. These protoplanetary disks, as they are called, form from the leftovers of the host star's birth.
In these cases, there might be planets orbiting closer in, but even Hubble's capabilities aren't good enough to see something so relatively tiny. Globular clusters are roughly spherical collections of tens of thousands of stars, including some of the oldest stars we know of.
The cluster 47 Tucanae located in the southern constellation Tucan is part of the Milky Way but is older than our galaxy by several billion years.
It's also home to the huge star-forming region known as the Tarantula Nebula. Hubble's infrared camera revealed a staggering , stars and protostars inside the Tarantula, of which you can see more than a few in this image. Comets are made of rock and ices including water ice, carbon dioxide ice, and others that form the distinctive tails when heated by the Sun.
Even at that distance, sunlight was enough to melt the outer layers of K2, making it the most distant active comet ever seen.
