Top Ten Infrared Space Pictures
1. Helix Nebula. A newly expanded image of the Helix Nebula (pictured) is one of the ten infrared pictures chosen by scientists to celebrate the thousand days that the Spitzer Space Telescope has been working past its retirement date.

2. Mountains of Creation. An infrared photograph of the star-forming region W5, aka the Mountains of Creation (pictured), was taken before Spitzer’s coolant ran out. Image courtesy L. Allen, HSCfA, and Caltech/NASA
3. See-Through Sombrero. At visible wavelengths, the Sombrero galaxy is a fuzzy white ball encircled by a black-rimmed ring of dust. Yet in infrared (pictured), the dust glows with splendor. Image courtesy R. Kennicutt, U. Arizona, and Caltech/NASA
4. Cygnus Constellation. This close-up of the Cygnus constellation was the very first picture taken after Spitzer ran out of coolant in 2009. Image courtesy Caltech/NASA
5. Trifid Nebula. One of the more striking objects in the visible-light sky is the Trifid Nebula.Image courtesy J. Rho, SSC/Caltech/NASA
6. Ancient Galaxies. Spitzer is widely known for its see-through views of nebulae, the Milky Way, and nearby galaxies, but it was also designed to peer back in time-possible because of the time it takes light to travel from distant objects to reach Earth. Image Courtesy Spitzer Space Telescope

Documentarist Dheeraj Akolkar’s Liv and Ingmar is due to release this fall. Ullmann and Bergman met in 1965, they were a family for five years, had one child (Linn), and made 12 films together with Ullmann directing two films scripted by Bergman.
46 years later Akolkar, who has always been fascinated by their life and work, went with Ullmann and a film crew to Bergman’s house on the Fårö island, where she spoke about all aspects of their relationship that was charged with both love and hatred, and how their feelings for each other were reflected in the films they created.
“Everything I have learned about acting, closeness to the camera, love, respect, and work ethics I have learned from Ingmar,” said Ullmann, when the University of Trondheim celebrated her 70th birthday with the symposium, ‘An auteur star – or a star as an auteur?’. (She holds an honorary doctorate at Trondheim).
She also recalled when she turned down the mother’s role in Fanny and Alexander, which was intended to be Bergman’s last film. “You have now lost your first born’s right,” he replied, and they didn’t speak for a year. When Bergman was dying on Fårö, she went to say goodbye: “I don’t know if he knew I was there, but it was important for me,” she explained.
