Lurking near us.
Described by scientists as like two monsters hiding under your bed.

Bye bye everyone, our number is up :/

Bye bye if if we get sucked up before I get to check it out.

According to their projections we got another million years. Great photos.

I knew those girls...long time ago.

Mmm. Lurking, eh? I should think there would be a law against that. Probably time to file a formal complaint, eh?

"nearby galaxies" - in astronomical terms - means about 100 million light years away... our own black hole in the milky way is about 40,000 light years away, to use as a reference...

Yikes..perspective.

I had to sensationalise it, gets people looking

Silly, I meant sky stuff always puts life in perspective..
tis the unknown, the no power-over-the universe thingy.

you don't need to worry about it.....because the black hole it's more likly some kind of dawf star but contains more high mass materials in it's core so that's why it won't shines like the outhers....untill it consuming enough materials then will become a super star again. nothing have to fear about.......

you could be right, Nailcap. But I think we are a pool ball.. just waiting for that cue ball to hit us right off the table

nope unless the sun will gona blow......but the percentage of sun will blow up is very low..... because it contains too much inert gases.....not like the super one contains too many material and the white dawf star contains more alkalinous metal......as it is only a dawf star. the first step of human kind can discover the universal will be the landing moon but the next must be how to living outside the planet in the deep space. so you don't have to worry about those scientifical hypothesis. no doubt to it......we're still alone around about 10 light years area in the space.

We are a spec out there in space, Nailcap. we can only " see" as far as our " eyes" will allow. And that is not very far in relation to space.

We have no idea what is out there.. we think we do.. but we don't.. how could we?

We are still trying to figure our what is in the depths of our oceans.. let alone know what could possibly be barreling at us.

So, in the mean time we can enjoy life and hope we are not around for the " 8 ball in the corner pocket"

there is a meteor ring near the mars, the future human colony in the solar system. so believing or not, we can figure out what happen in the solar system also about within the 10 light years deep space area by the telescope. it's only about time......did you ever seen the sun in color red in the twilight or dawn? that's the evedence of sun won't gona blow some how like those movies showing us.try to analyzing the evironmental facts by your knowledge you'll finding more interesting truth.......

10 light years into space.. is nothing. like I said.. we are basically looking in our backyard.. we have no clue what is beyond that.

We are assuming.. surmising.. what we think we know what is there, but we don't.

Maybe when we get that human colony on Mars, we can project a bit further.. but just a bit ;)

it's means nessceray.....but by the fundation of current humanoid socialty structure . It is still some kind of dream, then that's why many people rather counrt on the fascism social principle system . But it is cruel to the lower stature's civiliance. but you want to facing some kind of terrorist security problem there in the space? No....no one......so basic on the only social issuing problem we can see why it still kind of dream.....then the foods, the meteos, healthy care.....................and so on.......
then to constructing a clonic there still against the political conserns....
unless some one will in its name to starting globle liberation for it.....you know.....there are more resource we needing flewing out there in the space who don't want to do so......but the truth standing still...they won't gamble for it within 50 years in the future....trust me......

10 light years is something... the voyager probes, launched in the late 70's, are still not 1 light year away yet, after about 45 years...

from space.com
When the Voyagers were launched in 1977, NASA expected them to last four or five years, long enough to get them through close encounters with Jupiter and Saturn. But, they just kept going and going.

Voyager 2 went on to flybys of Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989. It is now about 105 astronomical units from Earth. (One AU is the average distance between the Earth and sun, about 92 million miles.) Voyager 1, which flew out of the plane of the solar system after its 1980 flyby of Saturn, is in interstellar space at 127 AUs.



It takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth. That's 8 and 1/3 minutes for 1 AU. The number of minutes in a year is 365 days x 24 hours/day x 60 minutes/hour = 525,600 minutes Divide 525,600 by 8.33333 for the final answer: There are 63,072 AU in a light year.

great source mightymoe, ive been reading the entire information provided by space.com. interesting and most definitely, food for thought.
do you read the magazine as well?

mostly, yes... but since i have a different view of the universe, i can't always read what they say... sometimes it bothers me to see scientists still promoting the BBT and dark matter... neither to me makes any sense...

thank you very much, mightymoe.
have a beautiful blessed day.
