VST Images Triangulum Galaxy

ESO's VLT Survey Telescope (VST) in Chile has captured a beautifully detailed image of the galaxy Messier 33. Filled with bright star clusters and clouds of gas and dust, this nearby spiral galaxy is the second-closest major galaxy to our own Milky Way. This new image is the most detailed wide-field view of this object yet, showing the glowing red gas […]

The Impasse of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, Two Resentful Lovers

In my article, "Grand Unified Theory – Unified Field Theory," I mentioned that I would discuss this topic when it comes to the Superunified Field Theory and the Big Bang. I'm also updating my other article, "The Problem of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Not Being Unified," which I previously covered but was insufficient. As a constantly evolving and learning individual, I've also […]

ALMA Finds Binary Star System with Strange Planet-Forming Disks

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array have found a striking disk of planet-forming gas wildly aligned around both stars of the young HK Tauri binary star system. These new ALMA observations provide the sharpest images yet of a protoplanetary disk in a binary star. The new results also explain why most exoplanets—unlike planets in our Solar System—have strange, […]

The World's Oldest Trees

Although I'm not usually very interested in these topics, when I saw the statistics, I thought it was a good topic worth writing about. We can't actually know if the oldest trees we'll show in this article are actually the oldest, because not all trees in the world have been measured. The oldest trees measured so far are listed. The Trembling Giant The trees you see in the picture are actually the Pando tree […]

Can Multiverses Be Tested? Bubble Universes!

Consider the moment of the Big Bang. At first, there was only vacuum, seething with energy (dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation, or the Higgs field—these are profound concepts in astrophysics). Bubbles formed like bubbles in a pot of boiling water… Each bubble became another vacuum region, but with less energy. This energy caused the bubbles to expand. […]

July 13, 2014 My Monthly Shoots

Tonight, when the moon was very close and full, I went outside with my telescope and started watching. Normally, I couldn't get my phone's camera to take a photo with the lens. But when I saw this image, I tried again, and after a lot of effort, I finally managed to take a photo. Even though it's amateur, I think it's beautiful. There will be even better photos to come in the future. Also, for informational purposes, let me explain this: […]
