NGC 6888: The Crescent Nebula Credit & Copyright: Tony Hallas [attach=full]1762[/attach] Explanation: NGC 6888, also known as the Crescent Nebula, is a cosmic bubble about 25 light-years across, blown by winds from its central, bright, massive star. This beautiful telescopic view combines a composite color image with narrow band data that isolates light from hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the wind-blown nebula. The oxygen atoms produce the blue-green hue that seems to enshroud the detailed folds and filaments. NGC 6888's central star is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The star is shedding its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of the Sun's mass every 10,000 years. The nebula's complex structures are likely the result of this strong wind interacting with material ejected in an earlier phase. Burning fuel at a prodigious rate and near the end of its stellar life this star should ultimately go out with a bang in a spectacular supernova explosion. Found in the nebula rich constellation Cygnus, NGC 6888 is about 5,000 light-years away.

Confessor Joe Walsh If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well, What you see is only on the surface. When you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath, The measure of the depth can be deceiving. The bottom has a rocky reputation You can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare. From up above it's hard to see but you know when you're there. On the bottom words are shallow. On the surface talk is cheap. You can only judge the distance by the company you keep In the eyes of the CONFESSOR. In the eyes of the Confessor, There's no place you can hide. You can't hide from the eyes (of the Confessor) Don't you even try. In the eyes of the Confessor You can't tell a lie, You cannot tell a lie (to the Confessor) Strip you down to size, Naked as the day that you were born, Naked as the day that you were born. Take all the trauma, drama, comments, The guilt and doubt and shame The what if's and if only's The shackles and the chains The violence and aggresion, The pettiness and scorn, The jealousy and hatred, The tempest and discord, AND GIVE IT UP!

This is an artists rendering of what is suspected to be a black hole.. That star is 30x's the size of the Sun.. Mind boggling. Black Hole Candidate Cygnus X-1 Credit: ESA, Hubble [attach=full]1761[/attach] Explanation: Is that a black hole? Quite possibly. The Cygnus X-1 binary star system contains one of the best candidates for a black hole. The system was discovered because it is one of the brightest X-ray sources on the sky, shining so bright it was detected by the earliest rockets carrying cameras capable of seeing the previously unknown X-ray sky. The star's very name indicates that it is the single brightest X-ray source in the constellation of the Swan Cygnus. Data indicate that a compact object there contains about nine times the mass of the Sun and changes its brightness continually on several time scales, at least down to milliseconds. Such behavior is expected for a black hole, and difficult to explain with other models. Pictured above is an artistic impression of the Cygnus X-1 system. On the left is the bright blue supergiant star designated HDE 226868, which is estimated as having about 30 times the mass of our Sun. Cygnus X-1 is depicted on the right, connected to its supergiant companion by a stream of gas, and surrounded by an impressive accretion disk. The bright star in the Cygnus X-1 system is visible with a small telescope. Strangely, the Cygnus X-1 black hole candidate appears to have formed without a bright supernova explosion.

A Mars Panorama from the Phoenix Lander Credit: Phoenix Mission Team, NASA, JPL-Caltech, U. Arizona [attach=full]1760[/attach] Explanation: If you could stand on Mars, what would you see? The robotic Phoenix spacecraft that just landed on Mars in May recorded the above spectacular panorama. The above image is actually a digital combination of over 100 camera pointings and surveys fully 360 degrees around the busy robotic laboratory. Clicking on the horizontally compressed image above will bring up the extra-wide uncompressed version. Visible in the image foreground are circular solar panels, various Phoenix instruments, rust colored rocks, a trench dug by Phoenix to probe Mars' chemical composition, a vast plateau of dirt and dirt-covered ice, and, far in the distance, the dust colored atmosphere of Mars. Phoenix landed in the far north of Mars and has been using its sophisticated laboratory to search for signs that past life might have been possible. Recent soil analyses have confirmed the presence of ice, but gave conflicting indications of unexpected perchlorate salts. Whether perchlorates exist on Mars is now being aggressively researched, as well as what effects perchlorates might have had on the past development of life.

I don't think the Bretts and Pack play this year so it'd have to be the Superbowl... Pisses me off...they didn't want him going to a rival in the division yet they obviously think they're better off with Rogers. Why wouldn't they wanna face him? Morons... Tried to pay him 25 mil. to stay retired.. what a slap in the face. However, for a Joe Blow such as myself, a 25 mil. slap in the face sounds pretty good about now... Hell, prolly bend over and let eddo and Tom Cruise ass rape me for that amount..

Dreams I'll never see Molly Hatchet Just one more morning I had to wake up with the blues. Pulled myself out of bed, put on my walking shoes. Went up on the mountain to see what I could see. The whole world was falling right down in front of me. Chorus: cause Im hung up on my dreams Ill never see. Yeah babe, oh help me babe. Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah. Pull myself together, put on a new face, Climb down off the hilltop baby, And get back in the race. cause Im hung up on dreams Ill never see, Yeah babe, oh help me babe, Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

I've got the pedal to the floor, Our lives are runnin' faster, Got our sights set straight ahead, But ain't sure what we're after. Flirtin' with disaster, Ya'll know what I mean. You know the way we run our lives, It makes no sense to me. I don't know about yourself or, What you plan to be - Yea!! When we gamble with our time, We choose our destiny. Chorus: Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road. Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load. Don't try to turn my head away, I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.

Soul Shine Allman Brothers When you cant find the light, That got you through the cloudy days, When the stars aint shinin bright, You feel like youve lost youre way, When those candle lights of home, Burn so very far away, Well you got to let your soul shine, Just like my daddy used to say. [chorus] He used to say soulshine, Its better than sunshine, Its better than moonshine, Damn sure better than rain. Hey now people dont mind, We all get this way sometime, Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day. I grew up thinkin that I had it made, Gonna make it on my own. Life can take the strongest man, Make him feel so alone. Now and then I feel a cold wind, Blowin through my achin bones, I think back to what my daddy said, He said boy, in the darkness before the dawn: [chorus] Let your soul shine, Its better than sunshine, Its better than moonshine, Damn sure better than rain. Yeah now people dont mind, We all get this way sometimes, Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day. Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness, Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul. A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this. And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control. [chorus] Let your soul shine, Its better than sunshine, Its better than moonshine, Damn sure better than rain. Lord now people dont mind, We all get this way sometimes, Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day. Oh, its better than sunshine, Its better than moonshine, Damn sure better than rain. Yeah now people dont mind, We all get this way sometimes, Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow havin fun, But back home hell always run To sweet melissa... mmm... Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same. And no one knows the gypsys name No one hears his lonely sigh, There are no blankets where he lies. In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies With sweet melissa... mmm... Again the mornings come, Again hes on the run, Sunbeams shining through his hair, Appearing not to have a care. Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on. Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord) Will you hide the dead mans ghost, Or will he lie, beneath the clay, Or will his spirit roll away? But I know that he wont stay without melissa.
