The Celestron NexStar 6SE Telescope can locate nearly 40,000 objects. All you have to do is look through the eyepiece and enjoy the view. If you don't know what to look for in the sky, let the intelligent Celestron NexStar-SE Telescopes give you a guided tour of the space. The Celestron NexStar 6SE Telescope has a customized list of the objects in the sky to view. It not only can offer you to see the objects in the night sky, it can also teach you about them. You can view the information on the most popular objects in the LCD screen that’s on the hand control.

Whether you are a seasoned astronomer looking for a portable telescope with advanced features, or just starting your astronomy adventure and looking for an easy way to enjoy the night sky. With Celestron Nexstar SE Telescope Revolutionary SkyAlign the days of complicated telescope assembly and setup are over. Celestron NexStar SE 6 inch telescope can be set up in a matter of minutes with no tools required. Using Celestron's patented SkyAlign, simply input the date, time and location into the hand control then point the telescope at any three bright celestial objects and the telescope does the rest.

    Explanation: Dubbed a Lyman-alpha blob, an enormous cloud of hydrogen gas spans several hundred thousand light-years in this remarkable image (left), a composite of x-ray, optical, and infrared data from space and ground based observatories. The gigantic, amoeba-like structure is seen as it was when the universe was a mere 2 billion years old (about 12 billion years ago). Lyman-alpha blobs are so called because they strongly emit radiation due to the Lyman-alpha emission line of hydrogen gas. Normally, Lyman-alpha emission is in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, but Lyman-apha blobs are so distant, their light is redshifted to (longer) optical wavelengths. X-ray data (blue) indicates the presence of a supermassive black hole feeding at the center of an active galaxy embedded in the blob. Illustrated close up in the right hand panel, radiation and outflows from the active galaxy are thought to be a source for energizing and heating the blob's hydrogen gas. In fact, Lyman-alpha blobs could represent an early phase in galaxy formation where the heating is so great it begins to limit further rapid growth of active galaxies and their supermassive black holes.
