Also keep in mind that only like a third or a quarter of matter can currently be observed. We still know practically nothing about dark matter and dark energy other than that it makes up most of the universe.

Till now there is no way to mesure dark mater or dark energy... Some say that (so called) particles just move through mater

The universe is so fucking amazing and dangerous. I saw a doco a while back and 2 things startled me

1: that Jupiter has saved our asses on endless occasions, with metors/comets, whatever you call them, are on a direct path with earth....but as it flies past Jupiter it gets pulled towards it from the massive gravitational pull the planet has therefore changing its course and missing Earth completely.

2. That there are hundreds of black holes out there, always on the move and we have just been damn lucky that one hasnt been in our part of the universe....yet

There was also a description on what would happen to our solar system once our sun dies. Fuck! You dont wanna know what happens to us....thank god we'll allbe long gone by then.

This is new to me, seeing the picture of Arcturus compared to the sun. I never knew that star existed. Whereabouts is it located in the universe?

You mean how first it will expand until it's in the atmosphere of Mars, consuming Mercury, Venus and Earth in the process, then shed its outer hydrogen shell into a planetary nebula and collapse back in on itself until it gradually fades and dies? Just be glad it's not big enough to form an iron core and explode. Now that's impressive.

Arcturus is in the constellation Boötes, at right ascension 14h 15m 39.7s, declination +19° 10' 56".

Yeah, something like that, lol



:?

Thanks....now all i need you to do is to point to the sky in its general direction

That means go straight, turn right from burger king, go 50 paces and it's on your right. For astro noobies.

Hooray for boobies btw.

It's by Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.

Hmmmm, now i know i left my Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy book around here somewhere.....

Seriously though, i am very interested. And a friend of mine has a pretty good telescope that she rarely uses. Me thinks i should go have a peep

If it's powerful enough to get any sort of resolution on Mars, you should take a look. It's one of the more impressive sights in this solar system.

We're indeed so tiny but still.... we are the masterpiece of cosmic creation. There is nothing greater in the whole universe (at least as far as we know) than humans. Built in an amazing and extraordinary way that makes us intrisically beautiful as a functional unit, we're at the same time the most powerful being per unit & size. I would need to be a poet to describe in words why humans are so amazingly better (even considering our disadvantages, shortcomings and fallible nature) than anything else alive or not. Just accept it, enjoy it and be proud!

We are god (god in a philoshopical sense ofcourse 8) )

I'm sorry that doesn't make me really glad. Same end result -> we dead unless we move :(

We're all dead by then anyway. Isn't it the year 10000 that its going to happen in? Or 10billion? I forget. Anyway, humanity will be long gone by then.

But you'll still be here. You damn Earth-obliterating Asteroid surviving Dinosaur.

Fortunately I was carrying an umbrella at the time.

Hehe all you need really is just a towel...

(Hmm are we back to that book again?! )

Something like 10 Billion years so we gots a long long way to go.

Five billion years, rather. The sun has been estimated to have a life expectancy of ten billion years, of which half has already passed.
