A kitty on your lap is a wonderful diet aid!

The human mind is simply not capable of understanding how huge the universe is...

Fascinating to think that these two galaxies, because the huge distances between all their objects, will probably never actually touch each other.

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

“Mystic Mountain,” this is a region of the much more extensive Carina Nebula. Credit: NASA, ESA,Hubble

Stars form in large clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that scatter the visible wavelengths of light our eyes can see. The longer wavelengths of infrared light can pass through the cloud relatively undisturbed. Hubble’s near-infrared capabilities and high resolving power make it an important tool in the study of how stars form.

Dubbed “Mystic Mountain,” this is a region of the much more extensive Carina Nebula. In it, towers of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust are seen to rise along the nebula’s wall. At the top, a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust is being eaten away by the brilliant light and winds from nearby stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming left and right from the tips of the peaks.

The most intriguing aspect of the recent events in Syria is that Bashar al-Assad did postgraduate training in ophthalmology, but he did not see this coming.
