dark matter blob confounds experts
This composite image shows the distribution of dark matter, galaxies, and hot gas in the core of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 520, formed from a violent collision of massive galaxy clusters. Starlight from galaxies is indicated in orange. Green indicates hot gas, and blue indicates mass, most of which is dark matter.
From an article by Alan Boyle on CosmicLog… I love finding examples that remind us that there’s so much more to “this world” than we may see with our eyes or hear with our ears…
“…Studies have shown that we can see only about 15 percent of the matter in the universe. Most of the matter that exists around us can’t be seen directly, but can be detected only by its gravitational effect. Scientists don’t know what dark matter is, but they suspect it’s an exotic class of subatomic particles that can interact only weakly with the kinds of matter we can see.”
…earth…wind…fire…water…
…sparkling on the shores of imagination…
look to the left side of the photo, about halfway from bottom to top...
The other day I was looking at some still pics I took on February 26, 2012…
I didn’t expect to see the blue orbs you can see in the photos… and I do not know what they are! I didn’t see them as I was taking the photographs…
I made a video of the various shots I took… If you look at the video, you’ll see the blue light moves around…
Here’s the link to the video:
This would be a magical world to awaken into…
(it’s the same photo as previously posted, with Dynamic Light’s Urban Art filter applied)
taken around noon today, south of birmingham…
I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I’m not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt.
That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I’ve been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I’m in Capable, and I go there more often as I’m getting older. One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense!
It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I may have been in Continent, and I don’t remember what country I was in. It’s an age thing.
PLEASE DO YOUR PART!
Today is supposedly one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job is done! Life is too short for negative drama & petty things. So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! From one unstable person to another…
I hope everyone is happy in your head – we’re all doing pretty good in mine!
(I received this in an email from a friend, and really wish I knew who wrote it! Have a great day!)
…and the all-seeing eye… :)
