NASA says that “asteroid collisions are energetic, with an average impact speed of more than 11,000 miles per hour, or five times faster than a rifle bullet.” Source: Gizmodo Recently, ClimateGate revealed that many who work in the Climatology discipline have been blinded by greed, or blind faith akin to religion, or both, forsaking the pure pursuit of truth normally associated with scientists. I cannot help but be shocked by the disparity in the behavior of scientists in the Climatology discipline versus those in [...] MESSENGER's Second Flyby of Mercury. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington The MESSENGER spacecraft got the closest look at a solar flare in human history, from a distance of about ½ AU (an Astronomical Unit is defined as the distance between our Sun and the Earth, approximately 93 million miles). The [...] No, that’s not the lead-in for my next science fiction story, though it sure could be. Instead, this is happening in our lifetimes, in the real world. It involves the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and smashing quarks and gluons together to attempt to create tiny black holes that will exist for barely a moment in [...] Given that this website is entitled Black Hole Thoughts, it seems only right to have some posts devoted to black holes.

The galaxy, so distant that it is seen as [...] The Mars Rovers celebrate three Martian years (or six earth years) of [...] |
