 Physicist Giovanni Fazio of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has spotted tornadoes in space. With the help of his infrared camera on board NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers discovered what looked like a tornado in space. Fazio believes the spirals may be the first step in the formation
of a new star. The structure, observed with NASA's Spitzer infrared
telescope, is a shock wave created by a jet of material slamming on a
cloud of interstellar gas and dust at more than 100 miles per second,
heating the cloud and causing it to glow. Physicists say the jet may
have been generated by magnetic field.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/05/physicist-giova.html"><P>"I was responsible for building one of the cameras on board there that
took this picture of the tornado," Fazio, told reporters. "We were
quite surprised when I saw it. I never saw anything like this before in
my life."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D6E28DBF-C314-4FA8-B510-D5A2AC7AC84A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
