Makes you think that something even more powerful is keeping that hot stuff together - because that hot stuff is clearly trying to get out.
- Thank goodness it is, too - otherwise it would collapse into a light-consuming singularity under its gravity.Nairn
- Well, probably not a light-consuming singularity. But a small, dark little thing, useless to summer.Nairn
- ah. But what makes gravity, if the mass of the body travels in weightless space, that is the question.Corvo2

Can't we run a pipe up there and tap some of that good stuff? Imagine the kind of performance we could expect to see in our road going vehicles?
Come on scientists, lets see you do something useful for a change.
- Snapple is working on getting some of that good stuff, right now. So I hear.TheBlueOne

Yup. Someday that thing will explode and wipe out a whole slew of galaxies.

the sun is a middle-aged star perfect for supporting life on earth, but it will eventually run out of usable energy and essentially "fizzle out".
The sad truth.

Whats amazing is there are suns millions of times bigger than ours. The brain is too weak to comprehend.
- Let me think. Bigger suns? Pondering..uh huh...TheBlueOne
- No, I seem to have grasped that pretty easily. What else you got?TheBlueOne
- hmmm, spheres are actually spinning cubes?Corvo2
- woahTheBlueOne
- imnotadesigner0
- Awesome. Love it.TheBlueOne
- They say Betelgeuse is going to explode and become brighter than the moon @nite.left_right_out
- maybe it already did. it will take 650 years for that explosion to be visible here.Corvo2

"The sun is god. or as close to him as we will ever come. all religions seem to stem from sun worship, which is/was the center of most types paganism. theres nothing wrong with it, its natural. but politics & prejudice creeped their way into human spirituality and it became religion, a silly dogmatic thing.
when i look at these images i feel peaceful, in awe of nature and the universe. if only we could see every star the way we see our own.
i do not believe in god in a religious way but i know that there is a connection between everything in the universe, and its love and its sacred. i do not think it is such a scary concept for the universe to be without a keeper, without a maker. it keeps itself, it made & makes itself. that fact that all of this chaos created such intense and incredible beauty is more divine and more mindblowing than some strange entity who is supposedly all loving (but also terribly vengeful and sexist- a truly all loving "god" would never turn its back on its children, a real parent can tell you that) and gives commands to its little organisms with their little egos and fears.
this makes sense, nature makes sense. the universe is divine. and that is that."- whatever dude. you're a self-proclaimed atheist/agnostic whatever. super. move along please...zenmasterfoo
- @5timuli, that was nice thanks. nature does make sense.
aho to that.sea_sea
