Underneath

What is in space below Earth?

Answer (1 of 77): If by “below" you mean to the south of Earth, then the answer is “most of the galaxy". Our solar system is actually tipped about 60° in relation to the plane of the galaxy: So at any one time a fair amount of the stars in the Milky Way are in Earth's southern skies. I know, I ...

YGKOW G1 ( Galaxy)

This galaxy was the first ever observed gravitational lens, an object with a mass so great that it can bend the light from objects lying behind it. This phenomenon not only allows us to see objects that would otherwise be too remote, in cases like this it also allows us to see them twice over.

Along with the cluster of galaxies in which it resides, YGKOW G1 exerts an enormous gravitational force. This doesn't just affect the galaxy's shape, the stars that it forms, and the objects around it — it affects the very space it sits in, warping and bending the environment and producing bizarre effects, such as this quasar double image.

Faint Young Sun Paradox

Faint Young Sun Paradox & Early Earth

Carl Sagan and George Mullen first proposed the ‘faint young sun paradox’ in 1972 and it has been a perplexing problem for scientists every year since. Before I can explain our most recent solution to the paradox, I must first explain the paradox itself. Basically, the faint young sun paradox...

GX 339-4 - is a moderately strong variable galactic low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) source and black hole candidate that flares from time to time. From spectroscopic measurements, the mass of the black-hole was found to be at least of 5.8 solar masses.

Hypernova

Hypernovas are the most powerful supernova explosions in the universe, 10 to even up to 100 times brighter than a typical supernova. That’s enough energy to completely obliterate our sun 100,000 times over, or enough energy to supply our world's current total power consumption for the next billion, billion, billion years.

Jewel

A Jewel in the Night

I see your radiance right here in front of me,
a bright shining star full of life.
A vibrant precious jewel
wearing night like no other.

You took forever to get here
and are certainly worth the wait.
Inspirational in the minds of many
yet others say you are dead!

Here you are for me on this night
I am in awe of your presence, your beauty
and will forever be.
