APOD 4.5

The Antennae

Looks like Corvus isn't good for nothing after all Mr. Percival. This great event makes for a stunning image, and can help explain a lot of possibilities when two galaxies collide. Apparently, the space between the stars in the galaxies has made it to where there have been almost no collisions of stars in the galaxies. However, there is so much collision of gas and dust that tons of new stars have formed from this episode. Also giving it its name, the two large projections of dust are due to gravitational effects and amazing physics. Love space!

APOD 4.3

Virgo Cluster Galaxies

There are well over a thousand galaxies in this amazing cluster. The expanse of these galaxies, that is hard to take into perspective how many are actually there. We have barely explored our galaxy, yet there are thousands millions maybe billions or infinite more galaxies outside our own. We have far too much space to explore, I hope I get to see it all, but I guess I won't if the Republicans take over, and end up screwing up any chances I might have in the world. It is still a great photo, and lets me discover and object which I have never seen.

APOD 4.2

IC 140 is an stunning emission nebula in false color, and has some amazing shapes and gasses within it. The two tadpoles in the upper left are beautiful little globules of gas. They are kind of like a beautiful mark on what might lay out there for us to discover. The nebula surrounds a bright young star cluster, and might be a sign of ongoing star formation in the region. The tadpoles are about 10 light years long each. That is a far way, everything you see was ten years ago. This why it might be impossible for us to ever talk to each other when the human race ups and leaves each other.

Zooniverse Moon Zoo

Moon zoo for 2 hours on 4/12
Galaxy Zoo for 2 hours 4/14

Zooniverse 3/31

I did about 2 hours of Solar Storm Watch. It was crazy awesome to see the amazing flares, but it is a ton of work.

Zooniverse 4/5

I spent about 2 hours today on Moon Zoo doing Boulder Wars. It gets very monotonous after a while, and there are some photos that are just black, but it is cool looking at all the crazy pictures of the moon.
