Definitions

Nebula: a cloud of interstellar gas and

dust, seen either as a luminous patch or

light or a dark hole in a bright

background. The term was coined to

describe objects that appeared fuzzy

when viewed through early telescopes.

Nuclear Fusion: two or more light

nuclei join together to form a heavier

nucleus, releasing energy in the process.

Photoevaporation: a process where

intense light from hot stars eats away the

surface of dense clouds.

Light Year: the distance light travels

in a year (6 ? 1012 or 5 trillion 900

billion miles)

Fast Facts

Age

The Eagle Nebula is two million years

old, the EGGs will live for another 10-

20,000 years.

Location

In the constellation Serpens, the Serpent,

alongside the southern Milky Way

Distance from Earth

7,000 light years

Size

Our Solar System would fit comfortably

inside an EGG. The right column is

about one light year from top to bottom.

Eagle Nebula Eagle Nebula

The three columns of dust and gas

in this Hubble Space Telescope image

are located in the Eagle Nebula.

The Nebula contains hydrogen and

microscopic dust particles, the raw

materials for building new stars.

The Eagle gets its name because

to some the Nebula resembles the

bird of prey with outstretched wings

and talons bared.

Uncovering New Stars

Off the top of this picture, there are

young, hot, massive stars that shine

very brightly. The stars? powerful

radiation heats the surrounding gas,

making it glow. This intense

radiation is responsible for sculpting

the columns; it erodes more tenuous

gas in the columns through

a process called photoevaporation.

The erosion reveals denser gas

globules surrounding newly formed

stars (see close-up, right). Scientists

call them ?Evaporating Gaseous

Globules? or EGGs.

Star Birth

Stars are born when clouds of dust

and gas collapse because of gravity.

As more and more material falls onto

the forming star, it finally becomes

hot and dense enough at its center to

trigger the nuclear fusion reactions

that make stars, including our Sun,

shine. Photoevaporation in the Eagle

Nebula has cut newly forming stars

off from the cloud feeding them.

While some of the EGGs are large

enough to eventually become stars,

others may never make it.

About the Image

The Eagle Nebula was photographed by Jeff Hester and Paul Scowen of Arizona

State University using the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board NASA?s

Hubble Space Telescope on April 1, 1995. The color picture is made up of three

separate color images: red shows light from sulfur atoms in the cool gas at the edge

of the clouds, blue shows light from ionized oxygen atoms in the hot, evaporated

halos, and green shows light from hydrogen atoms.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
