Explanation: Beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is nearly 175,000 light-years across, larger than our own Milky Way. It lies some 30 million light-years distant in the southern constellation Pavo, its galactic disk tilted towards our line of sight. This Hubble close-up of the nearby island universe spans about 24,000 light-years across NGC 6744's central region in a detailed portrait that combines visible light and ultraviolet image data. The giant galaxy's yellowish core is dominated by the visible light from old, cool stars. Beyond the core are pinkish star forming regions and young star clusters scattered along the inner spiral arms. The young star clusters are bright at ultraviolet wavelengths, shown in blue and magenta hues.

The Case of the Backwards Orbiting Asteroid
Illustration Video Credit & Copyright: Western U., Athabasca U., Large Binocular Telescope Obs.

Explanation: Why does asteroid 2015 BZ509 orbit the Sun the backwards? As shown in the featured animation, Jupiter's trojan asteroids orbit the Sun in two major groups -- one just ahead of Jupiter, and one just behind -- but all orbit the Sun in the same direction as Jupiter. Asteroid BZ509 however, discovered in 2015 and currently unnamed, orbits the Sun in retrograde and in a more complex gravitational dance with Jupiter. The reason why is currently unknown and a topic of research -- but if resolved might tell us about the early Solar System. A recently popular hypothesis holds that BZ509 was captured by Jupiter from interstellar space billions of years ago, while a competing conjecture posits that BZ509 came from our Solar System's own distant Oort cloud of comets, perhaps more recently. The answer may only become known after more detailed models of the likelihood and stability of orbits near Jupiter are studied, or, possibly, by observing direct properties of the unusual object.

Aurora and Manicouagan Crater from the Space Station
Image Credit: NASA

Explanation: How many of these can you find in today's featured photograph: an aurora, airglow, one of the oldest impact craters on the Earth, snow and ice, stars, city lights, and part of the International Space Station? Most of these can be identified by their distinctive colors. The aurora here appears green at the bottom, red at the top, and is visible across the left of image. Airglow appears orange and can be seen hovering over the curve of the Earth. The circular Manicouagan Crater in Canada, about 100 kilometers across and 200 million years old, is visible toward the lower right and is covered in white snow and ice. Stars, light in color, dot the dark background of space. City lights appear a bright yellow and dot the landscape. Finally, across the top, part of the International Space Station (ISS) appears mostly tan. The featured image was taken from the ISS in 2012.

James Blake, Luluc, Angelique Kidjo Covers Talking Heads, More

View this email in your browser

New Mix: James Blake, Luluc, Angelique Kidjo Covers Talking Heads This past week singer James Blake quietly dropped an incredible new song called "Don't Miss It." Like much of his work, it's both sultry and synthetic - a mix of seductive melodies and warped production, including a piano that keeps slipping out of tune. On this week's show we share "Don't Miss It" and try to make sense of its haunting meditations on the fleeting nature of life. We've also got enchanting new music from Luluc, the guitar-rock band The Beths, Swedish singer I'm Kingfisher and more. Hear The Discussion And Songs Tiny Desk Third Coast Percussion: Tiny Desk Concert Back at the beginning of time, the human voice was the very first instrument. Probably close in second place were folks banging on stuff - in other words, percussionists. The quartet of gentlemen who form the Chicago-based Third Coast Percussion takes primordial pounding into a completely distinctive new league. To be sure, in this Tiny Desk performance, they'll play their sophisticated, modern marimbas and vibraphones, but be on the lookout for the subtleties of tuned cowbells and 3/4" galvanized steel pipes, like those found at the local hardware store. See The Tiny Desk Performance All Songs Considered Cardi B, J Balvin And Bad Bunny Channel Latin Music's Old Guard In 'I Like It' Video Cardi B knew what she was doing when she got J Balvin and Bad Bunny to collaborate with her on "I Like It"; within days of her debut album Invasion of Privacy's release in April, the bilingual track quickly became the most-streamed song on the album. The track's infusion of Latin trap with Pete Rodriguez's 1967 boogaloo banger "I Like It Like That" - an early example of Bronx-born Latin popular music in the United States - sets the stage for the infectious power project from three of the most influential Latino players making music in the United States today. See The Video, Hear The Track All Songs Considered Flip And Fly A Dolphin In A Video Game For Robert Schneider's New Band The Schneider family is full of nerds. If you were wondering whatever happened to The Apples In Stereo, well - its frontman Robert Schneider has spent the last five years getting his Ph.D in mathematics. No, really, he teaches and studies math at Emory University. He joins a growing group of musicians with unexpected Ph.D side hustles, including Descendents' Milo Aukerman (biochemistry) and Offspring's Dexter Holland (molecular biology). Hear The Tracks Music News What's Your American Anthem? The bugle call of taps. The swell of voices spontaneously joining to sing "We Shall Overcome." The urgency of "Fight The Power." Anthems are songs that tap into the collective emotions that listeners and performers have around an issue, whether it's joyful pride in one's country or rage over injustice. Starting July 4, we'll bring you the stories of 50 songs - stretching from before the days of sound recording to the present - that rouse, uplift or call to action. To do that, we need your help.
