It's a big disco ball out there.

So, here's the question: In the big-bang, everything ejected from this one point and spread throughout the cosmos. We are, at this moment, some distance from where that occurred at a location I'll call "X." This photo claims to show light emitted not long after the big bang. It's not possible to travel faster than light.

Q:. How did we get to X faster than the light?

I had a shower thought the other day that if an object in space were to travel through a “worm hole” ending up closer to an observer, the observer would then be able to view the same object, at some time, for the difference in time/space traveled. I wonder if this might be it, but I didn’t read the article lol.

Thanks for explaining this. I didn't know that. I learned something new. I don't know if you can answer this question. This article is about the curiosity rover finding sun rays on Mars. How do sun rays affect Mars?

What’s up with these damn workout ads tho? Anyway, cool pics.

I *LOVE* time lapsed stuff, in every way. The dozen cameras in my house all take a picture every minute, and then ad midnight make a movie out of it, EVERY DAY. Its AMAZING.

I saw an animated nebula once, and it looked really cool, even if just a few frames.

I'd LOVE to see the JWT focus on some nebula or something dynamic out there in the cosmos and get like a pic a day for a month or something, or maybe a pic a year for a decade, I dunno. I just bet the end results are spectacular.

This is what I believe as well. I think whenever you die you’re just a different being at any point in time.

Living things don’t need sunshine, the deep ocean thermal vents are crawling with life that does not rely on the sun either directly or indirectly

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know there were sun rays on Mars. I'm asking, "Does Mars have sunshine too?" and "Do living things need sunshine?" I'm also asking, "Is there life on Mars too?"

It's all one picture. Due to gravitational lensing light emitted 1000 days apart in time reached the telescope at the same time. Basically the light from the first picture took 1000 days longer to reach us because the fabric of spacetime was curved forcing it to take a longer path while light emitted 1000 days later missed that gravity source so it was able to take the short route and get here at basically the same time.

Here's a preview of the article:

NASA's Curiosity rover has captured "sun rays" on Mars for the first time, the agency says.

The footage was taken on Feb. 6, NASA said, and showed the phenomenon as the sun set on the planet. This is the first time, NASA said, that the sun rays, also known as crepuscular rays, have been viewed so clearly.

The moment was captured as the rover conducted a twilight cloud survey, building on previous observations of clouds. Previously recorded images of Martian clouds show them as being made of water ice and hovering no more 37 miles above Mars' surface. The new images captured by Curiosity appear to show clouds at a "higher altitude, where it's especially cold," NASA said, suggesting that the clouds are made of carbon dioxide ice, or dry ice.

I'm confused. Wasn't Webbs' first picture taken last year? How are they 1000 days from the first pic?

I think for that to really come into play, you need to be looking pretty far. Like it's not something you'll really see in the stars you see at night with your eyes in our local galaxy.

But sure, looking into deep intergalactic space, which requires a decent telescope, it's probably not all that uncommon. Take a look at some of Webbs early pics, you'll see lots of warped and stretched images which I believe are examples of that phenomenon as well. And those are just in small patches of space.

But we might remember how being you shaped us!

I was thinking it’s been bent so much it added 3 light years which sounds like a lot till you take into account that’s over a 3.2 billion light year trip.

super novae are only decreasing in frequency also, so the further back you look (until you get to periods before super novae were possible) the more likely it is you see one.

Due to gravitational lensing, the light from the galaxy took three different routes to reach us, so we see the same galaxy three times on the same picture; also, as each route has a different length, light took a different amount of time to reach us.

Not my nature that's for sure.

It's also not science, it's useless thoughts in stoners' minds.

The names were given to each of the year’s full moons and tend to relate to an activity or an event that takes place at the time. The names differ in different parts of the world. Either never learned or just forgotten as time goes by.

“I’ve never heard of this! They must be making shit up, otherwise I would know. Whatever, keep making shit up I guess.” Some people when confronting things that have existed for hundreds of years but that they have never heard of.

Human nature, you negative Nancy.
