But the numbers, though. Something about this hoax landing simply doesn't add up

Anyway it is all lies since as most of us now accept, the world is concave. You only need add watch?v=XrcwpwhChUg into a popular video site and there is the proof.

It's ALIVE!

From 2.9 billion miles away, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft let its handlers know on Saturday that it has awakened from hibernation and is ready for the climax of its nine-year trip to Pluto.

The first signals were received at the mission's control Centre at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland via a giant radio antenna in Australia just before 9:30 p.m. ET, nearly four and a half hours after it was sent by the piano-sized probe. It takes that long for signals to travel between there and here at the speed of light.

Funnily enough we don't actually have ANY decent images of Pluto, at all, ever. People seem to assume we have images of everything, but in Pluto's case, they're wrong. Even the best Hubble images show nothing but vague patches.

Date for your diary is July 14 when New Horizons will make it's flypast of Pluto and nod oubt some approach images wll start appearing befoe then too. Fascinating to see what good ole Pluto actually looks like.

NASA has just released the highest definition image of the Andromeda galaxy, compliments of the Hubble Space Telescope.
It's hard to comprehend just how many stars are cotained in Andromeda, but this image is so detailed if you zoom in, many individual stars packed tightly together (in reality any two are actually light years apart) can actually be resolved. Awesome.

No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning.

It does seem more logical to believe the universe has been around forever and will continue to be doesn't it rather than a bang. The latter has never sat happy with me.

Breathtaking that mate. I would love to be able to comprehend that or even see it with my own eyes. Thanks.

Just a random muse I had.

Our own Sun converts 700 million tons of hydrogen into 695 million tons of helium every second. (The remainder escapes as pure energy. Of which only about one-billionth reaches Earth, and a third of that gets reflected).

Andromeda contains at minimum a trillion stars, i.e. 10 12

If on average they burn same as our own Sun then when you look at that faint fuzzy patch which is Andromeda you are watching 70,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons of hydrogen being spent every second.

But that's only double the amount in our own Milky Way galaxy. Which to put it in perspective, if Andromeda was twice the size of a RL ball, and the Milky Way was same size as a RL ball, they would be only about 20 ball-lengths apart.

Andromeda is heading our way at something like 80 miles per second but will take 4.5 billion years to collide. The view as it approaches will be stunning.

And the Milky Way's the daddy, as it contains more dark matter than Andromeda, making us more massive, so there!
