Any updates Wgam?

Not right now, ummm, i really havent been into this stuff this week with me losing my doggy on Monday to her kidney disease but i will certainly be catching up this weekend and i will no doubtly update as much as possible.

Thanks for showing interest though, it means a lot. Otherwise id just keep all the cool space shit to myself. lol.

JUPITER SWALLOWS AN ASTEROI😱

Around the world, amateur astronomers have been scanning the cloudtops of Jupiter for signs of debris from an explosion witnessed by Dan Peterson and George Hall on Sept. 10th. So far the cloud layer is blank. "Several observers have now obtained excellent images on the second and third rotations after the fireball, and there is nothing new nor distinctive at the impact site," reports John H. Rogers, director of the Jupiter Section of the British Astronomical Association:


So where is the debris this time? Perhaps the impactor was small, packing just enough punch to make a flash, but without leaving much debris. Indeed, studies suggest that Jupiter is frequently struck by relatively small 10-meter-class asteroids. In such cases, minimal debris is to be expected.

September 17, 2012 - Part 4: —Dark Pyramid?? Underground in Alaska.

—This is as super secret a situation as the Manhattan Project was.
Nobody is supposed to know this place even exists. ...This thing is some
kind of power generator and it's thousands of years old, it's made out of
stone like a pyramid. They don't know where it came from, who made it
or how it works. But it can generate enough power to power the whole
North Slope, all of Alaska, and probably the whole country of Canada!??

This might be vastly off topic, but the bit about earth being so much smaller than the sun got me thinking deeply. We're all so little, really our lives to the universe are less than a blink of an eye. Tiny synapses in it's eternity, and humans come up with methods and theories to understand something that is so far beyond our comprehension. We're but products of the universe. Life started so quickly, from cells to microscopic organisms, to animals, to homo-sapiens, and into humans- the species which is the only one who loves, hates, murders, fights wars against it's own kind, and can be completely selfless all at the same instant. But why do we think we're so advanced? Because we've made machines, set up goals that our people are supposed to follow? What really do all our goals mean, like the trodden path of going to college, getting a job that earns a ton of money (which means the world to some of us). All these things we've only made up.
Everything is made up, tiny pieces of paper own our souls and dictate our happiness. Silly isn't it?
When we're so small, in something that is ever expanding and incomprehensible. It makes everything we do and say seem needless, like it doesn't matter. But it does right? Nothing we think is important is real, but all of it matters.

Intelligence is never off-topic. Thanks for sharing that was beautifully said.
We lose things we love and that love us, so we can have that occasional reminder of whats truly of value in our lives.
Finding out what my soul's assignment is here on Earth is what ive begun searching for.
I used to think someday buying a Lamborghini would make me happy. When i put my doggy down last month, i realized, its not about the material things, i mean, i knew that already, but i hadnt lived enough to feel it until now.
Money cant save you, it can delay things but even Billionaires dont have enough money to avoid death, just ask Steve Jobs.

Life and love are fair, its people who are unfair...or like Bob Marley put it:

—The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.??

So they found it after he reported it looked suspicious?

Pics or never happened.
Thats wha im saying.

Thanks for the contributions people!!
Cant wait to get home and read !

I was probably pooping when that pic was taken. ^

But when a speeding neutron hits a hydrogen atom, which is almost the same weight, it comes to almost a complete stop, just as the cue ball in billiards transfers its momentum when it hits another ball. Water molecules contain two hydrogen atoms, and thus when Messenger passed over ice-rich areas, the number of neutrons dropped.

The same technique was used to detect frozen water below the surface on Mars and within similar craters on the Moon.

The neutron number would not have dropped if the bright surfaces had been made of sulfur or silicates.

—Water ice is the only candidate we've got that fits all those observations,?? said Dr. Solomon, who is also director of Columbia??s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

The ice is almost pure water, which indicates that it arrived within the last few tens of millions of years, possibly from a comet that smacked into Mercury. Dr. Solomon said several young craters on the surface of Mercury could be candidates for such an impact.

Not all of the icy regions were bright. In slightly warmer regions, where temperatures exceed minus 280, the ice was covered by a dark layer about half a foot thick. The scientists believe in these places the water ice vaporized, leaving behind other materials that had been trapped, including carbon-based molecules known as organics.

That could be similar to how water and the building blocks of life reached Earth billions of years ago.

The water could also be an intriguing resource for people. Between the scorched equator and the frozen poles, temperatures on Mercury can be temperate, especially a few feet below the surface, where the soil insulates against the temperature swings between day and night — an ideal location to build a colony.

—People joke about it, but it's not so crazy, really,?? said David A. Paige, a professor of geology at U.C.L.A. who calculated the crater temperatures.

On Closest Planet to the Sun, NASA Finds Lots of Ice..............go figure!
