I think this represents what equates to a portion of the sky the size of a pinhead !!!
Each speck in this picture is a galaxy....each galaxy has about 100-300 BILLION Stars !!..and there's something like 100-300 BILLION Galaxies out there !!
Do you get it ?...can you even imagine such a thing ?...can you even fathom it ?

Galaxy evolution in cyber universe matches astronomical observations in fine detail
060606.galaxy3.jpg (126.21 kB . 459x459 - viewed 54324 times)This image from a supercomputer simulation of the evolution of the universe shows a cubic volume of outer space measuring approximately 280 million light years across. The image portrays the universe 13.4 billion years (the present) after the big bang.
The bright dots correspond with high concentrations of dark matter, which are associated with sites of galaxy formation. The simulation shows how dark matter, an invisible material of unknown composition, herded luminous matter in the universe from its initial smooth state into the cosmic web of galaxies and galaxy clusters that populate the universe. The University of Chicago’s Andrey Kravtsov, Charlie Conroy and Risa Weschlser will describe these findings in a paper published in the June 20 issue of the Astrophysical Journal.

The Tarantula is situated 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the Southern sky and is clearly visible to the naked eye as a large milky patch. Astronomers believe that this smallish irregular galaxy is currently going through a violent period in its life. It is orbiting around the Milky Way and has had several close encounters with it. It is believed that the interaction with the Milky Way has caused an episode of energetic star formation – part of which is visible as the Tarantula Nebula.

I am worried about the Hubble replacement to be located 1.5 million miles away.
servicing will not be possible and one minor hitch can ruin the whole project.

actually the estimated number of galaxies is far greater then 100-300 billion galaxies. There are also galaxies with far less then 100 billion and others with more then 300 billion stars. In the visible universe alone which is just an extremely small portion of the universe there are 350 trillion large galaxies and 7 trillion dwarf galaxies. 10 million super clusters and 25 billion galaxy groups and 3*10^22 or 30 sextillion stars.

This image released by NASA and made by the Spitzer Space Telescope shows a glowing stellar nursery. The infrared image was obtained by Spitzer's infrared array camera. The Spitzer Space Telescope was named after the late Dr. Lyman Spitzer, Jr., one of the 20th century's most influential scientists, who in the mid-1940s first proposed placing telescopes in space.

The Spitzer image was taken over a period of 24 hours and is a three-colour composite showing infrared observations from two Spitzer instruments. Blue represents 3.6-micron light and are older stars in the star-forming cloud as well as unrelated stars behind and in front of the cloud, and green shows light of 8 microns, highlighting dense clouds, both captured by Spitzer's infrared array camera. Red is 24-micron light detected by Spitzer's multiband imaging photometer and shows heated dust that pervades the region's cavities. White knotty areas are where the youngest stars are forming.

Iron meteorites, or “irons”, are actually a combination of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Iron is the predominant metal, with 5% up to 50% nickel, and a trace of cobalt.
Stone meteorites, also called “stony meteorites” or stones,are mostly believed to be material from the crust and mantle of asteroids. A few stony meteorites are thought to be from comets. Stone meteorites contain approximately 75% to 90% silicate materials, such as olivine and pyroxene.
Stony–iron meteorites, or stony–irons, are mixtures of silicates and iron–nickel in roughly equal proportions(stony-irons are rare).

Barnard's Loop around the Horsehead Nebula
Credit & Copyright: Drew Sullivan (Ancient Starlight)
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Bigger version here (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0902/barnardsloop_sullivan_big.jpg)
Why is the Horsehead Nebula surrounded by a bubble? Although hard to make out, the famous Horsehead Nebula is the slight dark indentation in the bright streak just to the left of the image center. Glowing like an emission nebula, the origin of the bubble, known as Barnard's Loop, is currently unknown. Progenitor hypotheses include the winds from bright Orion stars and the supernovas of stars long gone. Barnard's Loop is too faint to be identified with the unaided eye. The nebula was discovered only in 1895 by E. E. Barnard on long duration film exposures. The above image was taken in a single specific color emitted by hydrogen to bring out detail. To the left of the Horsehead Nebula, visible as a small dark indentation, is the photogenic Flame Nebula.

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know.

BIG PICCY HERE (Makes a great desktop piccy) (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0903/tarantula2_hst_big.jpg)
In the heart of monstrous Tarantula Nebula lies huge bubbles of energetic gas, long filaments of dark dust, and unusually massive stars. In the center of this heart, is a knot of stars so dense that it was once thought to be a single star. This star cluster, labeled as R136 or NGC 2070, is visible just above the center of the above image and home to a great number of hot young stars. The energetic light from these stars continually ionizes nebula gas, while their energetic particle wind blows bubbles and defines intricate filaments. The above representative-color picture of this great LMC nebula details its tumultuous center. The Tarantula Nebula, also known as the 30 Doradus nebula, is one of the largest star-formation regions known, and has been creating unusually strong episodes of star formation every few million years.

Meteorites are classified into three basic categories: irons, stones, and stony irons. Iron meteorites, or “irons”, are actually a combination of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Iron is the predominant metal, with 5% up to 50% nickel, and a trace of cobalt.
Stone meteorites, also called “stony meteorites” or stones,are mostly believed to be material from the crust and mantle of asteroids. A few stony meteorites are thought to be from comets. Stone meteorites contain approximately 75% to 90% silicate materials, such as olivine and pyroxene.

How do they determine what planet a meteor came from, if that's the case?
Also, who would one contact if they had a meteor specimen they'd like to have examined/analyzed?

This Chandra image shows important new details in the powerful jet shooting from the quasar 3C273, providing an X-ray view into the area between 3C273's core and the beginning of the jet.High-powered jets driven from quasars, often at velocities very close to the speed of light, have long been perplexing for scientists. Instead of seeing a smooth stream of material driven from the core of the quasar, most optical, radio, and earlier X-ray observations have revealed inconsistent, "lumpy" clouds of gas*1. The recent Chandra data show a continuous X-ray flow in 3C273 from the core to the jet, which may reveal insight on the physical processes that power these jets. Scientists would like to learn why matter is violently ejected from the quasar's core, then appears to suddenly slow down.*2
*1 The cooling down of three planets.
*2 The locking into an orbit of the three planets. The making of a
new solar system.

In my hypothesis, I fully agree with Einstein that there has to be an equal an opposite force in action here. And I see this in the action of the gravitational fields of each heavenly bodies acting as the opposite force at a given wavelength / and or a given density level, even through they are pulling on each other’s mass’s.

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field
I think this represents what equates to a portion of the sky the size of a pinhead !!!
Each speck in this picture is a galaxy....each galaxy has about 100-300 BILLION Stars !!..and there's something like 100-300 BILLION Galaxies out there !!
Do you get it ?...can you even imagine such a thing ?...can you even fathom it ?
BEYOND COMPREHENSION !!
What may REALLY freak you out is the possibility that a Universe/Singularity may exist in the centre of each and every one of those galaxies pictured, all containing the above properties of our Universe "Ad infinitum". It's only another layer to an already incomprehensible onion! Maybe infinity is real after all. Fractal Universes!
Either way, I don't fear death when I look at that picture.

peaking of nature photography, have you seen the image of the new "missing link" fossil now on view at the American Museum of Natural History in New York? This fossil, which is 47 million years old, is said by scientists to the earliest human ancestor--a link between the animals that became homo sapien and other mammals. It's a controversial theory, but very exciting, and the announcement is being pumped up with considerable marketing muscle. The fossil is called Ida ("eeda"), and when you gaze at the images of it, you understand the primordial fear evoked by the creature in the Alien films.--David Schonauer

This one, in long IR, highlights the dust and also shows that M31 is a bit warped, probably due to an ancient collision with, and the subsequent absorbsion of a smaller galaxy.

Could this halo be the missing 'dark matter' that explains galaxy rotation issue?The article states that the estimated mass of this halo is 1/2 the total mass of the stars in Andromeda. To account for the galaxy rotation curves, it would need to be a few times the total mass of the stars.

(https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/p1515aw.jpg)
When it comes to effecting the orbital speed of a star in a galaxy it is only the mass that is closer to the center of the galaxy than the star that counts (imagine the star as being on the surface of a bubble. it is the mass inside that bubble that determines its orbital speed.) For the gas halo to provide the required mass, it would have to be many times the density it is measured to have. Also, as the article points out, this gas plays a role in star formation for the galaxy. If it was many times denser, it would have had a profound effect on this.

Space is a very captivating thing. I wish that I could capture space myself someday. Every picture makes you wonder what lies beneath all these amazing and bewitching sceneries. This picture is from NASA's 'with a tapestry of blazing star birth, Hubble commemorates 30 years in space'. NASA has unveiled a magnificent new snapshot of a firestorm of star birth in a nearby galaxy to commemorate the Hubble Space Telescope's 30 years of revealing the beauty and mystery of space. The enormous red nebula (NGC 2014) and its smaller blue companion (NGC 2020) are part of a massive star-forming area in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way 163,000 light-years distant in this Hubble image. Due to its resemblance with the undersea world, the image is also nicknamed Cosmic Reef. Hubble is transforming contemporary astronomy, not just for scientists but also for the general public, by bringing them on a breathtaking voyage of exploration and discovery. Hubble's never-ending, magnificent cosmic images serve as a visual summary of Hubble's greatest scientific accomplishments. Hubble made astronomy relevant, entertaining, and accessible to people of all ages, unlike any other space telescope before it. The iconic vision of the space telescope has altered our understanding of the cosmos and our location in time and space.
