  Good stuff  :thumbsup:  There is one question I would like to ask the scientist. "If we could make the earth stand motionless in the universe and completely stop.  What picture would we see in the sky.     :o   :biggrin:

  I'm talking about motionless in space.  We keep on spinning and we don't loose gravity.  I would like to know how fast the sun, the Milky Way and our solar system would move from us.  Just saying.   :wink: :smile:  This is just a speculation not a fact.   :rolleyes:

Sorry ... I know. I was just being a smartass, but you asked a VERY good question. I couldn't find the answer.

I thought your first answer was a good answer to an improbable question. Just shows how different people think differently.

They're exploring the multiverse theory.  Interesting stuff!

Chaos in Orion

Baby stars are creating chaos 1,500 light-years away in the cosmic cloud of the Orion Nebula. Four massive stars make up the bright yellow area in the center of this false-color image for NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Green indicates hydrogen and sulfur gas in the nebula, which is a cocoon of gas and dust. Red and orange indicate carbon-rich molecules. Infant stars appear as yellow dots embedded in the nebula.

(Picture too huge to post here.)

  Great picture, I click on the enlarge under picture and got a pretty good picture.  From the size of the stars embedded in the nebula, their not going to live too long in the time of the universe.  :tiphat:
