How the Titanic Survivors Were Picked up by the Carpathia. Photograph taken by Mr J W Barker of three of the Titanic's lifeboats hanging from the side of the Carpathia. Carpathia was sailing from New York City to Rijeka on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. The captain, Arthur Henry Rostron, was asleep in his cabin when wireless operator Harold Cottam burst in and told him of Titanic's distress signal. Captain Rostron immediately set course to the liner's last known position, over 60 miles away. At 4 o'clock in the morning Carpathia arrived at the scene after working her way through dangerous ice fields and was able to save 705 people. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and sank on April 15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg off the coast of New Foundland during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.

Wealthy American passenger on the Titanic, Mr Daniel Warner Marvin, 19, from New York, NY, was the son of Henry Norton Marvin. Henry Norton Marvin was founder of the early motion picture production houses of American Mutoscope and the Biograph Company. Daniel was married to Mary Farquarson. They both boarded the Titanic at Southampton as first class passengers. They were returning to New York City from their honeymoon in Europe. They occupied cabin D-30. On the night of the accident Daniel assisted his wife to a boat with the words 'It's alright, little girl. You go. I will stay.' Daniel died in the sinking, his body, if recovered, was never identified.

Stars - The Southern Cross - Alpha and Beta of Centaur - Southern Cross and pointers - Star trails - Because of the Earth's rotation, leaving the camera open, the stars advance towards the background of the sky. During the installation, gradually changing the focal length of the lens, the stars spread out and reveal their true color. Here, the constellation of the Southern Cross and the Alpha and Beta stars of the Centaurus, on the left, are photographed this way during a 40mn pose. Star images are point sources of light of widely varying intensity. Normally, no single photographic exposure on colour film can capture their subtle colours. Those stars whose intensity is just right for their colour to be recorded appear insignificant on the photograph, while anything brighter is overexposed and washed out. By changing the focus of the lens during a star trail exposure, star images are spread out over the film surface. This effectively changes the amount of light in each star image as wel

This pair of interacting galaxies is composed of NGC 6621 on the left and NGC 6622 on the right. NGC 6621 is the largest of the two galaxies. The collision, seen here about 100 million years later, caused intense star flames. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on 15 March 1999.

NGC 6621 is the larger of the two, and is a very disturbed spiral galaxy. The encounter has pulled a long tail out of NGC 6621 that has now wrapped behind its body. The collision has also triggered extensive star formation between the two galaxies. Scientists believe that Arp 81 has a richer collection of young massive star clusters than the notable Antennae

About four times smaller (in radius) than our Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), it is much larger than the many of the local dwarf spheroidal galaxies. M33's proximity to M31 causes it to be thought by some to be a satellite galaxy of this more massive galaxy.

How the Titanic Survivors Were Picked up by the Carpathia. Photograph taken by Mr J W Barker of two lifeboats containing passengers from the Titanic, as it approaches the Carpathia. Carpathia was sailing from New York City to Rijeka on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. The captain, Arthur Henry Rostron, was asleep in his cabin when wireless operator Harold Cottam burst in and told him of Titanic's distress signal. Captain Rostron immediately set course to the liner's last known position, over 60 miles away. At 4 o'clock in the morning Carpathia arrived at the scene after working her way through dangerous ice fields and was able to save 705 people. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and sank on April 15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg off the coast of New Foundland during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.

How the Titanic Survivors Were Picked up by the Carpathia. Photographs taken by Mr J W Barker, a passenger on Carpathia, as passengers are rescued from the Titanic lifeboats. Carpathia was sailing from New York City to Rijeka on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. The captain, Arthur Henry Rostron, was asleep in his cabin when wireless operator Harold Cottam burst in and told him of Titanic's distress signal. Captain Rostron immediately set course to the liner's last known position, over 60 miles away. At 4 o'clock in the morning Carpathia arrived at the scene after working her way through dangerous ice fields and was able to save 705 people. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and sank on April 15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg off the coast of New Foundland during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.

Herbert Fitzhugh Walter McElroy, Chief Purser of RMS Titanic, was born 28th October 1874 in Liverpool. Purser Hugh McElroy had been in White Star's service for some thirteen years and had served for three years on board the troopship ""Britannic"" during the Boar War. He signed on the Titanic on the 9th April 1912 as Chief Purser on a salary of £20 per month. He helped load passengers in to the lifeboats when Titanic was sinking. Purser McElroy was last seen standing on the Boat-Deck near the gymnasium, beside mail clerk Mr William Logan Gwinn, both men died in the sinking of the Titanic.

Here it is the constellation of the Southern Cross (center right) and the Centaurus Alpha and Beta stars, in the center below, that are photographed in this way during a 30-minute pose. Star images are point sources of light of widely varying intensity. Normally, no single photographic exposure on colour film can capture their subtle colours. Those stars whose intensity is just right for their colour to be recorded appear insignificant on the photograph, while anything brighter is overexposed and washed out.

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Neptune has an equatorial diameter of about 49,000 kilometres. Its blue color is due to the abundance of methane in its atmosphere. On this photo, on the left, the Great Dark Spot, which is the size of the Earth where winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. Image of Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 16, 1989. During August 16 and 17, 1989, the Voyager 2 narrow - angle camera was used to photograph Neptune almost continuously, recording approximately two and one - half rotations of the planet. These images represent the most complete set of full disk Neptune images that the spacecraft will acquire. This picture from the sequence shows two of the four cloud features which have been tracked by the Voyager cameras during the past two months.

Interacting galaxies NGC 1614 - Interacting galaxies NGC 1614 - The galaxy NGC 1614 is located about 200 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Eridan. This system is composed of interacting galaxies. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on August 13, 2002. The galaxy system NGC 1614 has a bright optical center and two clear inner spiral arms that are fairly symmetrical. It also has a spectacular outer structure that consists principally of a large one - sided curved extension of one of these arms to the lower right, and a long, almost straight tail that emerges from the nucleus and crosses the extended arm to the upper right. The galaxy appears to be the result of a tidal interaction and the resulting merger of two predecessor systems. The system has a nuclear region of quasar - like luminosity, but shows no direct evidence for an active nucleus. It is heavily and unevenly reddened across its nucleus, while infrared imaging also shows a ridge of d

Its arms are home to star-forming regions while its core is surrounded by much older yellow stars. An irregular dwarf galaxy, PGC 28757 (Holmberg IX), is visible at the top of the picture. Image obtained with a 50 cm telescope through different filters, total of different poses: 20h. M81 is the brightest member of the nearby galactic group called the M81 group. This group contains at least 25 other members including the peculiar starburst galaxy M82, the peculiar galaxy NGC 3077 and many dwarfs galaxies. The core galaxies of the group (M81, M82, NGC 3077, NGC 2976) are strongly interacting and are all imbedded within a large and extended molecular gas cloud. The Dwarf irregular Holmberg IX (seen above M81 in the image) most likely condensed from tidal debri existing between M81 and M82. M81 has the distinction of being the nearest spiral gala

At the bottom left, the nebula NGC 2024 with just above the star Alnitak, a supergiant star belonging to the Baudrier of Orion. Towards the center of the image, a reflexion nebula, NGC 2023. This distinctive red emission nebula (IC 434) is the result of radiation from sigma Orionis interacting with the surface of a dusty cloud of gas from which projects the dark shape of the head of a horse. Sigma is the second brightest star in the picture and is at about the same distance from the Sun as the nebula. The brightest star here is zeta Orionis, easily visible to the unaided eye as the easternmost star in the line of three which form Orion's Belt.

It is associated with the cluster of stars IC 2944 near which Bok's blood cells are visible. A Bok's blood cell is a dark interstellar cloud of gases and dust that absorb light. If it condenses enough, it gives birth to new stars. Between the Southern Cross and the rich Carina region, on the southern border of Centaurus, is a large, almost featureless emission nebula, IC 2948, with a sprinkling of bright stars, Collinder 249. It is against this uniform, backdrop that we see a brighter region (IC 2944) which hosts small group of dark clouds of the kind known as 'Bok globules'. They are named for the Dutch - American astronomer who first drew attention to them as the possible sites of star formation. There are young stars scattered through the nebula and these stars are responsible for its existence

It is located about 500 light years away from Earth. Image made with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. This spectacular reflection nebula is the result of a few bright stars caught up in a large, dusty cloud. If that is all there was here, this region would be considered to be like the Pleiades, an accidental association of dust and stars. However, there are features here that show the dark cloud to be an active star forming nebula, though most of the action is hidden from view. The peculiar yellowish curved streak near the two bright reflection nebulae surround an intriguing object best seen in infrared light, R CRA, a young star still accreting interstellar material on to its surface.

M82 is an irregular galaxy distant about 12 million years - light from Earth. Its nucleus, which appears to have suffered from the passage of the neighbouring galaxy M81, is in a phase of violent star activity. Its central regions are rich in star formation. These hot stars blow a stellar wind that becomes a very violent galactic wind. Chandra's X - ray image reveals gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by the violent outflow of matter blasting out of the galaxy. The eruption can be traced back to the central regions of the galaxy where stars are forming at a furious rate, some 10 times faster than in the Milky Way Galaxy. Many of these newly formed stars are very massive and race through their evolution to explode as supernovas. Vigorous mass loss f

How the Titanic Survivors Were Picked up by the Carpathia. Photograph taken by Mr J W Barker of one of Titanic's collaspible boats containing about 30 people, approaching the Carpathia. Carpathia was sailing from New York City to Rijeka on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. The captain, Arthur Henry Rostron, was asleep in his cabin when wireless operator Harold Cottam burst in and told him of Titanic's distress signal. Captain Rostron immediately set course to the liner's last known position, over 60 miles away. At 4 o'clock in the morning Carpathia arrived at the scene after working her way through dangerous ice fields and was able to save 705 people. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911 and sank on April 15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg off the coast of New Foundland during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York, USA, with the loss of 1,522 passengers and crew.

The recovery team is preparing to get astronauts Roberto Vittori, Yuri Gidzenko and Mark Shuttleworth out of the capsule. Russian recovery team members gather around the scorched return module of Soyuz TM - 33, shortly after its landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan and the completion of the Marco Polo mission to the International Space Station (ISS), on May 5, 2002. The recovery team is about to install a scaffolding to help the crew out the module. The Marco Polo mission, with ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori, from Italy, was performed under an agreement between Russia's Rosaviakosmos, the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and ESA. Roberto Vittori was launched into space onboard Soyuz TM - 34 at 12:26 local time on April 25 with Russian mission commander Yuri Gidzenko and South African flight participant Mark S

Spiral galaxy M77 in the Whale - Active galaxy M77 (NGC 1068) in Cetus - M77 (NGC 1068). This active galaxy is the typical example of a Seyfert II galaxy. It has an active core and houses a massive black hole. She is the object of intense star formation in her spiral arms. NGC 1068 is around 50 million years of light from Earth. Image obtained by Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. M77 is a Seyfert galaxy, a class of galaxy named for Karl Seyfert who first identified galaxies with emission lines superimposed on the normal radiation from their nuclei in 1943. Such galaxies are a subset of an ill - defined species generally known as 'active galaxies' whose nuclei emit radio - and X - radiation as well as visible light. The least active of the active galaxies are the Seyferts, the most active are the quasars which are mostly so distant that they can only be distinguished from stars by their spectrum. <BR>The common feature of these galaxy types is a small, very bright nucleus thought to host

Centaurus A elliptical galaxy (NGC 5128) in Centaurus - Galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128) - The galaxy NGC 5128 is located about 13 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Centaurus. A broad dark band crosses it in the middle, a probable vestige of a collision with a spiral galaxy. This Giant Galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. The green dot visible in the dust strip is a supernova, the supernova 1986g. It appears green because the red filter image that made this trichromy image was only taken a year after the event and the supernova had weakened. Image obtained from the 3.9m telescope of Siding Spring, Australia. Centaurus A is a most unusual galaxy. The circular, uniformly bright portion is composed of several thousand million stars, most of them old and yellowish. The galaxy is girded by a dense dust lane which obscures and reddens the light of stars behind it. Some

John George 'Jack' Phillips Wireless Operator on Titanic. Jack Philips was born in Farncombe, Surrey, on 11th April 1887. Phillips was educated locally and, after learning telegraphy, at a post office, he began working for the Marconi company. He was serving as senior wireless operator on board Titanic, which sank on 15th April 1912. As Titanic was sinking, Phillips worked tirelessly to send wireless messages to nearby ships for help. While Phillips has borne criticism for having told the radio operator of the Californian 'Shut up! I am busy, I am working Cape Race!' when interrupted on-air by his counterpart telling him that his ship was surrounded by ice, similar warning messages earlier that day had been delivered to the captain and a lookout had been posted. He did not survive. Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast Ireland during 1910 - 1911, and sank after striking an iceberg off the coast of New Foundland during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New Yor

Isidor Straus, passenger on the Titanic, was 67 - born in Rhenish Bavaria on 6th February, 1845. In 1854 he emigrated to the United States settling, with his family, in the town of Talbotton, Georgia. Early in April 1912 Isidor, his wife Ida and their daughter Beatrice had travelled to Europe on the HAPAG Liner Amerika, it was their custom to travel by German steamer wherever possible. For their return (Beatrice was absent) they boarded the Titanic at Southampton, travelling with them were Isidor's manservant John Farthing and Ida's newly employed maid Ellen Bird. The Straus's occupied cabins C-55-57 (ticket number PC 17483, £221 15s 7d). Isidor Straus and his wife both died in the disaster. The body of Mr Straus was later recovered by the Mackay-Bennett.
