“Blue Jelly?!”: The Jellyfish Galaxy

Believe it or not, there are some really amazing structures sprinkled throughout the cosmos. I’m not talking about structures, like alien ships or monuments or what have you, but naturally occurring phenomenon. These take the shapes of nebulae, which are just collections of space dust and gas molded into a system of sorts. There are […]

Nice to Meet you: The idea of duel realities

there’s the entertaining idea of the multiverse, then there’s this… I’ve been reading a lot about the concepts of bio-quantum mechanics (is that a thing? it is now). I touched on it slightly in a previous post, presenting the question of what happens to environments when we leave them (like going to the grocery store). […]

Where do we go from here? Photon particles and beyond

After reading Move over dark matter, here comes the photon mass, I originally thought “great, as if it couldn’t get any more complicated…” But that is just the dismissive part of me talking. We should want space to get more complicated, because it only gets more exciting! This is yet another new theory about the […]

“See You in Another Life”: The Life, Death and Rebirth of our Galaxy

The Gases of our Milky Way tell a story… They say history repeats itself, and its only natural that the complexities of space provide insight into this idiom. Researchers in Japan have discovered that through a process called “cold flow accretion”, gases rich in “alpha” elements (oxygen, magnesium, silicon) flowed through our primordial galaxy in […]

Dark Matter and Dark Energy: What are(en’t) they, and what could they be?

Ever since I took astronomy at college, I’ve always been fascinated by space. The idea of this infinite void, full of powers and forces beyond our comprehension astounds and terrifies me. These are pressures for forming galaxies and stars, quasars and even planets. Atoms compressed to shape nebulous clouds and star systems. Stars go through […]
