Ah Yes , The Universe.....What an Amazing Place...That Place called Space...Spend at least half my time there :)?)

1 Best Possible Future would be ; to Travel Amongst the Stars, Visiting other Worlds, Inhabiting other Planets, and still have a Home to come back to for supper ...:)

Peace or Pieces?

We Come in Peace...;)

Electric Biology
Dec 30, 2010

Experiments with electrostatic fields might illuminate biological diversity.A major problem in biology is the internal motion of proteins. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania using Magnetic Resonance Imaging were surprised to discover that the calmodulin protein molecule possesses an internal "jitter" that shakes it billions of times per second. This revelation led them to conclude that it is not merely the complex folded shape of such molecules that affects their function, but their internal movement.

Very True DB.. Inner Space and Outter Space definetly share a lot in Common ..There are many similarities...We are of made of iITt..Learned to live With/In iITt. ...Within Us iITt lives...May the Forces be with you !..;):)...

Everything is Energy and Information... The Rest is Recyclable Waste...

Going Supernova

While searching the skies for black holes using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers discovered a giant supernova that was smothered in its own dust. In this artist's rendering, an outer shell of gas and dust -- which erupted from the star hundreds of years ago -- obscures the supernova within. This event in a distant galaxy hints at one possible future for the brightest star system in our own Milky Way.

Seeing Red

This image by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a dramatic view of the spiral galaxy M51, dubbed the Whirlpool Galaxy. Seen in near-infrared light, most of the starlight has been removed, revealing the Whirlpool's skeletal dust structure. This new image is the sharpest view of the dense dust in M51. The narrow lanes of dust revealed by Hubble reflect the galaxy's moniker, the Whirlpool Galaxy, as if they were swirling toward the galaxy's core.

Here's a good way at showing just how unimaginably vast the universe is.

Despite travelling at roughly 39,000 mph, it would take Voyager 1 around 17,000 years to get Proxima Centauri, which is the nearest star to Earth other than the Sun.

Which means that if the cavemen who, around 17,000 years ago, were drawing pictures of horses in caves in France had somehow acquired the ability to travel vast distances in space at a whopping 39,000 mph and they travelled to Proxima Centauri, they'd only just be reaching the star round about now, give or take a century or two either way.

Now, how could we have missed this for so long if it exists at all.
The quest for Planet X always starts out with celestial objects behaving badly. Astronomers notice that a known planet, or a bunch of comets, begin moving in ways Newton's laws of motion can't explain. They propose that it's caused by the gravity of something massive and still undiscovered lurking out in the Solar System, and they head to their telescopes to search for it.

i heard about this, and i was told that asteroids causing extinction events have almost occured in a pattern, I also have a chart that lists the majority of the major impacts throughout the earths history. And between every 25-50 million years there are major impact events. Sometimes a big asteroid or a couple of smaller ones that hit earth in roughly ther same time frame.

Mabye this big brown dwarf they say exists out in the oort cloud has an erratic orbit that puts it everywhere mabye it rotates under the celestial equator

If it exists at all, it has to have a long elliptical orbit that carries it out to the Oort cloud or Kuiper Belt and back.

Has alien life really been found?

By Lana Tao


Famed NASA astrobiologist, Dr. Richard Hoover, has been hunting meteorites and extremeophiles in the frigid Antarctic for over 10 years. To the amazement of all, what this treasure hunt has uncovered is alien life: Fossils of ancient bacteria which hailed from colonies which thrived on comets, moons, and other planets.
In a world-wide exclusive, this startling, paradigm busting research, and the pictures to back up these claims, has been published in the March edition of the Journal of Cosmology.
Using the most advanced micro-scanning technology in the world, Dr. Hoover fractured fresh slices of the interior of these meteorites, and discovered the remains of several species of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Blue-green algae have a unique quality, they thrive even under the harshest of conditions.
According to Dr. Hoover, the possibility of contamination has been completely ruled out. "What is both exciting and extraordinary" Dr. Hoover said, "is although many of the bacteria resemble and can be associated with generic species on Earth, there are others which are completely alien. Neither I nor other experts who have seen the evidence have any idea what these creatures might be." "I believe these findings indicate that life is not restricted to Earth, but is broadly distributed, even outside our solar system" said Dr. Hoover.

Discovery makes final landing on MSN Video

1:30 sec...^- " retiring one without having another to replace it ...That's the saddest thing...."

We just Gotta Explore..

We need to get Out There from Here...and back again..

We need New High Clean Tech Space Shuttles!.


Let's be sure to send the New High Clean Tech Space Age Probes out there, first though,.there ,eh..



Over and Out There from Here..

Hunting for Planets from the Comfort of Your Own Home

​

In the two years since it went into space, the Kepler satellite has revolutionized the search for planets around other stars. Before Kepler went into space, about 500 so-called exoplanets had been found, one by painstaking one over the course of more than a decade. Since then, Kepler has added another 1,200, and that's just a fraction of the planets the probe will ultimately discover. (To be technical, the bodies Kepler finds are known as "candidate planets" that need confirmation, but no one doubts that the vast majority of them are real.)
One reason Kepler has been so wildly successful is that it stares at a huge number of stars — some 150,000 of them, around the clock — looking for tiny dips of light. That change in luminescence indicates that a planet is passing in front of the star. No human could possibly sort through all that data, so the Kepler team has created a kind of sifter software that looks for patterns hinting at orbiting planets. (See TIME's photoessay "The Labor of Space Exploration.")
