Anything related to our mysterious universe should be posted in this thread; from discussion to pictures. I'll start off with a couple of pictures and then once everyone has admired the pictures, we can discuss anything! Pulsar Neutron Stars: They're basically planets or stars omitting radiation in a blinding "strobe-light" fashion. [Broken External Image]:http://www.williamsclass.com/EighthScienceWork/ImagesEighth/Pulsar.jpg Magnetars: They're another type of neutron stars omitting radiation more wildly and they also have a very powerful magnetic field. [Broken External Image]:http://encarta.msn.com/othermedia/Features/Magnetars_425x283.jpg Pulsars and Magnetars combined: Self-explanatory. Hypervelocity Stars: They are the legitimate "shooting stars" [Broken External Image]:http://encarta.msn.com/othermedia/Features/HyperVelocityStars_425x283.jpg Dark Energy: Scientist believe dark energy is gradually pulling the universe apart with ever increasing speeds. In theory, the energy will rip apart the entire universe one day, planet by planet and atom by atom.

Anyone think this 2012 thing is gonna go down? I havea friend who talks about the shit all the fucking time, but he actually got me thinking

Eagles Nebula: Is a young open clusters of stars found in the constellation of Serpens. Mostly composed of star-forming gas and dust. The "Eagle" is about 57 trillion miles tall. [Broken External Image]:http://www.flatrock.org.nz/topics/science/assets/eagle_nebula.jpg Black Holes: Not to be confused with the lame Raiders' fans. [Ha!] I assume everyone knows what a black hole is. Recently, Stephen W. Hawkins said escaping a black hole is possible, although extremely rare and difficult, the feat can be accomplished. It cannot be "confirmed" but he is the greatest thinker of our time. Super Earths: Are planets larger than our own Earth but not large enough to be considered gas giants. There are several different types of "super earths" and scientists are hopeful they can theoretically host life. [Broken External Image]:http://www.mibadesigns.co.uk/images/Images/planet(small).jpg

2012 = Stupid way to scare the general public into buying shit. Anyone read A Brief History of Time? I haven't because I'm not that educated yet.

The planets will all be aligned in December of 2012. Pretty sure thats why people all have their panties up their ass holes.
I knew about the solar flares. Idk i think people are stupid they think cus some big ass mayan calender ran out that that means we're all gonna die. My friend says that some shit goes down every how ever many years and it's been enough years or something he thinks the world is going to like implode or osmething
my dad got me into looking at stars and planets and shit when i was a little kid, always taking me outside to show me stuff on the telescope or something.. crab nebula [Broken External Image]:http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/screen/heic0615a.jpg 2 galaxies merging
i always found this video nuts really puts the size of the known universe into perspective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGxRWCmwSDE at the end it starts talking about a divine creator and thats up to you to decide... but ignoring that....its a great demonstration mind blowing
Best thread on BS. And was this opened cause its galileo's telescope 400th anniversary? Thank you google for informing me.
Horsehead Nebula: Picture is too big to post. http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/images/d4/horsehead.jpg Large Magellanic Cloud: One of the brightest galaxies known to man. [Broken External Image]:http://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/fuse_mc/LMC_3col_sm.jpg
Stephen Hawking - The Universe In A Nutshell (Audiobook) Highly recommended if you are into this shit. Also, try and get through the 10 Dimensions of the Universe Video.
this crop circle shows the suggested formation of the planets on 2012... pluto is off a few degrees because its predicted something might hit it. most crop circles are ancient symbols and designs....
