Lights out!
- HII regions are created when radiation from hot, young stars strips away electrons from neutral hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas to form ionized hydrogen clouds.
- Scientists use telescopes like Chandra to study HII regions as young stars emit bright X-rays and X-rays can penetrate gas and dust shrouds around infant stars.
- The composite image of the region includes X-ray data from Chandra and ROSAT telescope (purple), infrared data from Spitzer Space Telescope (orange), and optical data from SuperCosmos Sky Survey (blue).
- The image shows purple and blue drops of paint layered between streaks of orange and blue, indicating stars scattered all over, with bubbles created by radiation and material blown away from massive stars.

Photos show the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the worst volcanic disaster in US history, 45 years ago
- On May 18, 1980, an earthquake caused the eruption of Mount St. Helens, resulting in immense devastation, mudslides, explosions, and plumes of ash.
- This catastrophic event led to the death of 57 people and significant changes in how the US monitors and prepares for volcanic eruptions.
- The eruption caused a collapse of the mountain's conical top, sending rivers of mud and rock down its slopes and ash clouds across a vast area.
- The eruption's aftermath resulted in the destruction of trees, bridges, and over $1 billion in damages, marking it as the most destructive volcanic eruption in US history.
- Scientists had predicted Mount St. Helens' violent eruption due to the volcano's historical behavior and signs of unrest leading up to the event.
- The eruption's devastating impact included debris avalanches, pyroclastic flows, mudslides, and ash plumes that traveled hundreds of miles, affecting multiple states.
- The disaster killed 57 individuals, including USGS geologist David Johnston, and spurred advancements in volcano monitoring and hazard prediction technologies.
- Following the eruption, a new ecosystem gradually emerged around Mount St. Helens, showcasing the resilience of some plant and animal species despite the destruction.
- Scientific research post-eruption led to the establishment of the Cascades Volcano Observatory, contributing to volcano monitoring and training initiatives.
- Although Mount St. Helens has had smaller eruptions post-1980, improved monitoring technology allows for better prediction and preparedness for potential eruptions.
