[New post] Know Your Nebulae (Infographic)

Know Your Nebulae (Infographic)

by Jaime Trosper
Through the years, the Hubble Space Telescope has beamed back many breathtaking images of the cosmos. So many, astronomers eventually had to come up with some way of grouping individual objects with similar characteristics together (though naturally, some characteristics overlap).
These days, there are six primary groups: planetary nebulae/supernova remnantsdiffuse nebulaereflection nebulaeemission nebulae, and dark nebulae. That might not sound like a lot, but it's sometimes hard enough to determine which category a nebula belongs to, let alone keeping all of the classifications straight.
In our newest infographic (you can see a larger version here), we look at each individual type and a few subcategories (with examples).

Singapore's demographic diversity was the driving force for the country's founding leaders as they forged a nation. They sought to navigate the many differences in the country's ancestral, social and cultural affiliations even as they embarked on the urgent task of nation-building. A decade into the new century, many of the country's traditional understandings of differences are being challenged, even as new differences, spawned by immigration, new media and globalisation, emerge.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a highly interdisciplinary instrument that enables measurements of samples in liquid, vacuum or air with unprecedented resolution. The intelligent use of this instrument requires knowledge from many distinct fields of study. These lecture notes aim to provide advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates in all fields of science and engineering with the required knowledge to sensibly use an AFM. Relevant background material is often reviewed in depth and summarized in a pedagogical, self-paced style to provide a fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying the use and operation of an AFM.
