I actually started shaking a little after seeing this.

[Drizzy Drake]

Space freaks me out, just like the ocean.

[Split Infinity]

Seen something like this in class. That star must be lightmillennia away if it's not filling the entire sky with red... :S

Offtopic, but a lil on..

Never really knew what a Neblua was. Some of them don`t even like real, they look like paintings.

[Gio]

I love astronomy, a whole freaking lot, and in my opinion the coolest astronomical object would have to be the quasars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar

[Fury]

I saw this on the Discovery channel a while ago. I'm hardly surprised, though. I always knew the universe was a big place so its not unexpected that things of that size would inhabit it.

Naw dude, the neutron stars. They're incredibly dense, and the exhibit properties similar to neutrons, despite being massively larger.

[Split Infinity]

I thought you liked black holes.

[Toasty]

Neutron stars are more interesting. But black holes are pretty crazy too.

Some theories suggest that black holes actually pierce through the fabric of space to create a wormhole with a "white hole" on the other side where stuff is ejected.

it all makes sense now, thats where all this stuff comes from before it leaves your mouth~


i don't really feel anything about these things far beyond our galaxy >: it's kind of interesting, though i guess

[Split Infinity]

That was amazingly bad wording, Toasty. XP

[TheEnglishman]

I like the part where it talks about the galaxy that shouldn't exist.

Don't blackholes crush and destroy anything that gets sucked inside?

Nebuli (is that the right word?) are basicly stardust, Skidz.
And yes, Space is fuckhueg.

[Split Infinity]

They're clouds of dust/gas, you should've known that by the start of high school. >_>

[Legolastom]

Spotted this on 4chan once on my way to to the pronz. It was good

[Caael]

Without intending to hijack this thread, I'm going to post a bunch of mind-boggling pictures. Some are related to space while others are just awesome in other ways.

removed by ME!!

if you want to edit them back in, give links not fullsize pics.

[Drizzy Drake]

You think I really gave two ****`s about astronomy in school? I`ll learn about that shit on my own time thank you. And I don`t care if they`re just clouds of dust, they look sick.

DUDEEEEE
Quasars are the objects that are the furthest away that we can still see, and they are proof that the universe is still expanding, which means there is even more in the universe that we haven't seen. How is that not cool.

I don't think you can destroy light. That is why the concept of a white hole exists.
I could be wrong though.

Five word limit, please keep that in mind when posting again.

[Split Infinity]

Caael, when you go ahead and post 48 consecutive wallpaper-size images in a single post without any real reason or prompt, I'd say that's hijacking the thread...

[Lemontime]

They're not even "mind-boggling" images anyway.. Just pretty photos or nice shoops..

[Fury]

I think blackholes are the most interesting phenomenon to occur in space.

Nebuli are the remnants of stars. When a star goes super nova, or just dies, it leaves behind gas and dust, which are called nebula.

New stars and planets then form in these nebulas as the gasses are drawn towards one another by gravity.


Our sun won;t become a supernova, by the way. It's too small.

[Saturos S.]

The plural is nebulae guys. :(

That's 1st grade latin. Jeez.

So, aliens, eh? Do they exist?

[Legolastom]

Yes, we call them Platypus.

[Caael]

Salar de Uyuni is possibly the most mindboggling place on earth. The pictures of it are absolutely jaw dropping.

[Drizzy Drake]

Caael, that ****`s intense. So the water just stays shallow over the sand?

[Caael]

Yeah the surface is almost perfectly flat all over creating pretty much the worlds biggest mirror. It's absolutely stunning.

[Moonear]

Stuff like space creeps me out. I guess it's just the thought of everything being so big, and me being out there all alone, just a speck in the middle of everything.

[Drizzy Drake]

Wow, because you didn`t just elaborate my first post.

There`s that maturity you were talking about coz, oh, how could I have forgotten!? And I was just inputting my two cents, sue me.

@Caael: I looked at pictures of Salar de Uyuni on google, and it looks amazing. I wanna go there for myself so badly to stand in the reflection.

You're lucky people can't sue for stupidity.

[Drizzy Drake]

Not getting that it`s a saying.. stupidity? I think so.

[Quacnar]

I had to reread your sentence has you have awful grammar. So you do think you have stupidity? I'm sure its one of your bodies great imports.

[Quacnar]

That's spelling, not grammar. Would would know that if you spent some time learning and less time smoking weed.

[Drizzy Drake]

Actually no, that`s grammar; in fact, not a single bolded word is spelt wrong. Quit while you`re ahead.

And there`s that druggie card again.

[Quacnar]

It should be as instead of has and then the sentence would be correct. SPELLING MISTAKE.

[Drizzy Drake]

Well I saw many different right ways to correct that sentence, so I`m right. Oh, I know we`re both right, but I`m right. Just.. I`m right coz. Sorry.

[Quacnar]

Okay...

SHUT THE HELL UP GUYS

No it should have been "because" instead of "as/has" because you're giving a cause/consequence, not comparing things.

Anyway, space is big, eh?

[Toasty]

Indeed.

In fact, it is supposedly ever expanding. Which explains the phenomenon of "red-shifting"

[Ironsight]

Dark Matter

[Toasty]

Matter that scientists know exist, but can't see since it does not give off any radiation of any kind. Gamma, x-ray ultraviolet, visible light, infrared UHF, VHF, or otherwise.

[Ironsight]

Yup, that's it.

[Toasty]

What's so special about it? I thought it sounded awesome until I learned that it was actually pretty boring.


Antimatter is where it's at, brah.

[Ironsight]

I think Dark Matter's interesting, but it's only one of the things I "like" most about space.
Antimatter's pretty cool too I guess. But how about proven parallel universes?

[Toasty]

How about nutrinos?

[Ironsight]

Damn it that's familiar...I don't want to wiki it because that's weakness. Nutrinos. Nutrinos.

Nah, I forget what those are, but I know I've read about them somewhere. Enlighten me, please.

[Toasty]

There's three kinds (excluding antinutrinos, of which there are another three).

They come from the sun and other high-energy interstellar bodies.

They can pass through physical matter.

I believe that billions of them pass through your body at any given second

They travel at near-light speeds

The three varieties can change into another variety (they cycle through the three different types)

No. Anti-Hydrogen only explodes in contact with normal Hydrogen. At least, I think that's how it works.

exactly.

So to store anti-hydrogen, you use a normal every day container.

Which you could never open, apparently.

[Toasty]

And why wouldn't you be able to open it?


Or are you implying that I'm incapable of opening a normal everyday container?

[Caael]

Because if you opened it, hydrogen would get in and blow **** up.

[Toasty]

Hydrogen constitutes .5 parts per million of your average breath of air.

I don't think you'd have to worry too much about the annihilation of the two.

Well, good thing gas expands quite quickly. So that little breath of yours would be nothing compared to the amount of air it comes into contact with. I don't how big a boom that would be, but quite a lot bigger than you're suggesting.

[Toasty]

I mean that the air your breathing right now has .5ppm's worth of hydrogen gas in it.

Since anti matter and matter are effectively converted to pure energy when they collide, there would definitely be a significant amount of energy released. I just don't think that it would be released as quickly as some might think. Unless of course the anti-hydrogen was contained in a pressurized cannister and the canister was ruptured.
