Jason Watts - Cassiopeia Xamachana - Upside Down Jellyfish

"After modifing this 3 gallon tank to generate a circular flow (kreisel), I raised a culture of brine shrimp in it to see how well the design worked. I was very pleased with the result. later that week, while getting dry goods from the local fish shop, I saw a bowl shaped tank with Upside Down Jellyfish polyps and ephyras. These had come in to the shop as hitch hikers. These ephyra ended up killing the sea horses housed in the bowl. I asked the owner if she would part with a few. As I hoped to raise them through their life cycle.

"Adult jellies (medusae) reproduce sexually resulting in larva (or planula). After a period of drifting, the planula will settle on any and evey available surface becoming a stationary polyp that can clone itself. Each polyp, resembling aptasia anemonies, will begin to bud-off a small, free swimming medsua called a ephyra.

"Four little ephyras came home with me that night. Six more were to follow the next day. It's been three weeks now and all ten are with me and growing fast. The largest is now 7/8" across the bell."

I dedicate this excerpt to my dear friend Dorothy with whom I saw that film way back in 1979. We were most definitely under the charm...

Stars circling the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy

Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE)

"An international team of astronomers, lead by researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), has directly observed an otherwise normal star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy."

















Stars around a Black Hole in the Milky Way

"Andrea Ghez et al of the UCLA Astronomy Department's Galactic Center Group published a paper in Nature in 2000 where they observe orbits of a dozen individual stars near the center of our galaxy. They used these observations to predict the position of a supermassive black hole there. This movie shows these observations, with their extrapolated orbits. The side of the initial box is about 0.8 parsecs (15 trillion miles), while the cross in the center is the position of the black hole."
