bet it's a good shaving mirror as well

erm! image 1 that is

we'll have to have a short break there, plenty of ice for a or two

we are NOT alone approximately 1 in 6 stars could have a goldilocks earth-like planet round it. There's millions of stars in just that one grid

glad I'm not a postman there

Thanks

What's your most boring thing in space? A87829816

I love this thread of yours loveso anything that I can add of a interest (hopefully)

found roughly in 2011 I think ?

at that size, I reckon it would be a bit of a walk t'local shops

err! bit old"we" (some of us) already knew that, as in! a moon just suddenly doesn't appearit's a "spin off" formed by a massive clout from another "heavenly body"

big bang is wrongif it happened at a central point and as they say, the galaxies are travelling away from each other outward. Then, why is the Andromeda Galaxy and ours coming togethernever the twain shall meet should be

Prof, that's one of the best images of the Andromeda galaxy I've ever seen.

The globular clusters are extremely well resolved.




Meanwhile at the time of the big bang, the material components of the cosmos didn't break up directly into galaxies.

First, the nuclei of the cosmic voids formed in the terminal stages of the inflationary epoch with a structure rather like foam, the individual 'bubbles' bursting as the universe continued to expand at the conclusion of the inflationary epoch.

The globules of 'spray' falling away from the centers of the cosmic voids remained gravitationally bound internally and evolved into clusters or associations of galaxies expanding in a spherical shell away from the center of the cosmic void they're associated with.

Above the level of the local association of galaxies though, Newtonian mechanics break down, there's no more gravitational bonding operating between the associations of galaxies, which are all on escape trajectories from one another and the center of the cosmic void they're associated with and the principle of cosmic expansion itself becomes the over-riding principle governing relative motion.

I aim to please
