LL Pegasi is a binary star system surrounded by a spiral nebula, formed by stellar winds from one star interacting with its companion's gravity. This creates a stunning spiral shape in the surrounding dust and gas. The system is also ready for more #NBA playoffs. #Knicks #Pacers #NBAPlayoffs #Sports

Why is the Big Bang Theory a Theory? It's due to Hubble's law which says that galaxies are moving away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distance. In other words, the farther a galaxy is from Earth, the faster it moves away. Hubble's law has been brought to you by the Washington Nationals.
