Re: APOD: The View Toward M101 (2016 Jan 21)
Between Cepheid variables and dark matter models it makes you wonder how many astronomers just want to go back to good old-fashioned telescopes . Speaking of Cepheid variables did you know they are being used to study dark matter ? (That dead dark horse is going to haunt my subconscious) :yes: I cou...

Light century – all the flavor of a light year with but fewer photons. Going back in history we found even light needs to loose weight.

If a star gives good evidence for close-up investigation, journeying there will need to be planned exquisitely with respect to where it will be.

Re: APOD: The Galactic Center in Infrared (2016 Jan 17)
Well, the problem is, the premise is inconsistent with any theory based on observation. So that kind of makes the rest of the conjecture fall apart. And that's fine if you would choose to educate me on "why it's inconsistent" so I would learn of my error. That was another point in my post...

Let's say I suggest dark matter surrounds all matter from the smallest quantum bit to the largest clusters of galaxies. It is functional in ways unique to each size dimension.

Emanating from the poles of the Milky Way are these Fermi Bubbles . When we first heard about them a few years back I think all our curiosities were spiked. With all the energy being exhausted into discovering the nature of dark matter, I find it almost too convenient that the bubbles are located in...
