This is an artist's impression of a unique type of extrasolar planet discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope. The planet is so close to its star that it completes an orbit in 10.5 hours. The planet is only 750,000 miles (about 1.207 Million kilometres) from the star, or 1/130th the distance between Earth and the Sun. The Jupiter-sized planet orbits an unnamed red dwarf star that lies in the direction of the Galactic Centre; the exact stellar distance is unknown. Hubble detected the planet in a survey that identified 16 Jupiter-sized planets in short-period, edge-on orbits (as viewed from Earth) that pass in front of their parent stars. Hubble could not see the planets, but measured the dimming of starlight as the planets passed in front of their stars. This illustration presents a purely speculative view of what such a "hot Jupiter" might look like. It could have a powerful magnetic field that traps charged particles from the star. These particles create glowing auroral rings around the planet's magnetic poles. A powerful magnetic flux tube links the planet and star. This enhances stellar activity and triggers powerful flares. A powerful stellar wind creates a bow shock around the planet. The planet's atmosphere seethes at 1,650 degrees Celsius.

Description: British Empire Games, 1950. Photographer: Unidentified Date: 1950 Archival reference: AAPG 25263 W3939 Box 1 www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=2843469 On February 4 1950, the British Empire Games started. This sporting event was the precursor to what is now known as the Commonwealth Games. The games took place in Auckland, New Zealand and the main stadium used was Eden Park. The games were the first to be held after a 12 year break due to World War 2. Australia ended up topping the medals table, with England coming second and New Zealand third. The film footage shown here is from a National Film Unit clip titled Empire Games 1950. The comprehensive footage shows a summary of the opening ceremony of the games and key moments from various sporting events. The National Film Unit was established to publicise New Zealand's participation and achievements during the Second World War. After 1945 the Film Unit expanded from producing weekly newsreels to making documentaries and films to the order of Government Departments. During its existence the Film Unit produced films for national organisations as well as many films on its own initiative. The private film industry in New Zealand relied heavily on the National Film Unit's extensive film processing facilities. The image above is from a series of film and production stills produced by the National Film Unit. Taken at the Empire Games, it shows a film crew capturing an unidentified swimmer competing in the games.
