Incredible space stone seems like it has a nebula trapped inside

This is just a stone. Not a photo of a stone with a Hubble Space Telescope image pasted over it. Not a hologram made inside some piece of glass. Not a portal to another dimension. Just a stone. It's like a some spacetime wizard captured a piece of the Universe and trapped it inside.

The stone is an opal. A "very fine American contraluz opal found" in Opal Butte, Oregon, according to Bonhams, the auction house that sold it last May for around $20,000. Their description says that the 4.6 x 4.4 x 1-centimeter gemstone is a "clear, transparent crystal body having a fine, firey play-of-color that is gem quality. The piece has a botryoidal jasper formation which forms a unique inclusion."

The Bigbang - 13.8 Billion Years of cosmic evolution

The Illustris simulation is the most ambitious computer simulation of our Universe yet performed. The calculation tracks the expansion of the universe, the gravitational pull of matter onto itself, the motion of cosmic gas, as well as the formation of stars and black holes. 

These physical components and processes are all modeled starting from initial conditions resembling the very young universe 300,000 years after the Big Bang and until the present day, spanning over 13.8 billion years of cosmic evolution. The simulated volume contains tens of thousands of galaxies captured in high-detail, covering a wide range of masses, rates of star formation, shapes, sizes, and with properties that agree well with the galaxy population observed in the real universe. 

Meteor over Russia's Murmansk caught on dash camera

Residents of the Kola Peninsula witnessed the fall of a celestial body similar to the famous Chelyabinsk meteorite on Saturday night. It flashed at 02:10 am local time and was clearly seen in the sky. However, no sound of explosions was heard. Officials say that the nature of the celestial body is unknown.

A suspected meteorite explosion has been recorded by citizens of the northern Russian city of Murmansk.
Multiple drivers with dash cams out on the streets of the 300,000-people city at 2.10am on Saturday noticed a bright blue trail speed across the night sky, then explode while still in the air.

Most observers identified the object as a meteorite, though officials have neither confirmed it nor said where the fragments are likely to have landed. Others speculated that the object may have been space debris, re-entering the atmosphere.

The Moon Turns From Bright White to Bloody Red

Today's picture was taken from the American's sky of San Diego   for a strange phenomenon called "Bloody Moon", a phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse, where the moon turns his color from normal white  to blood-red, which have occurred on April 15.

Car Insurance, Safe Your Life, Be Ready On Red Lights

Car Insurance (also known as auto insurance, car insurance, or motor insurance) is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and other road vehicles. Its primary use is to provide protection against physical damage and/or bodily injury resulting from traffic collisions and against liability that could also arise therefrom. 

Time-lapse footage of asteroid pass near the Earth

This is one of the most amazing, incredible and terrifying events and moments, an asteroid pass near the Earth in a speed reached 43 thousand kilometers per hour, it was captured in Time-lapse footage.

Throughout the early hours of Tuesday morning, a small asteroid at a distance very close to the planet extremely rapidly reach 43 thousand kilometers per hour.

In case the video didn't play normally click here

Any asteroid falling from the sky would have a tremendous amount of energy. Here's a typical example. In 2028, the asteroid 1997XF11 will come extremely close to Earth but will miss the planet. If something were to change and it did hit Earth, what you would have is a mile-wide asteroid striking the planet's surface at about 30,000 mph. An asteroid that big traveling at that speed has the energy roughly equal to a 1 million megaton bomb. It's very likely that an asteroid like this would wipe out most of the life on the planet. via

The Scale Of The Universe Is Larger Than We Imagine

Our Universe  is larger than our imagination. This amazing flash shows you how we are small to the discovered universe.

Current estimates place the size of the Universe at 93 billion light years across www.universetoday.com

It has a limit because "infinite" applies only to numbers, like the answer concerning how many cats you would have. What ever number you say, I can always add one more. That is what infinite means.

93 billion light years is a finite number, but as we all know the universe is expanding. You ask "expanding against what?" That, my friend, is one of the most interesting metaphysical questions I can think of, and I have thought of it often.

Before the Big Bang (presuming that theory is correct) all matter and energy were in what is called a "singularity". The laws of physics reached the right place in the cause-and-effect nature of physics that the "effect" was the bang. But all things in existence were in that singularity. No where else.

Wait Until The Flash Loaded Then Press START  

That means that not even "nothingness" existed outside the singularity. If "nothingness" existed, it would be an existent, a "something", and therefore not all things in existence would have been in the singularity. Nothing has changed. Outside the universe there is no "nothingness" even today. To day there is nothingness is a contradiction of "somethingness".

And to say other universes exist outside of ours is to compound the problem---what is outside of those universes? It is the identical question as, "If God created all things, what created God?" If there was "somethingness" of any sort outside the singularity, then "existence" does not reside in the universe; it resides in more things than the universe.

As to where did the existents of our existence come from, the answer is given by Leonard Peikoff:

"Existence is a self-sufficient primary. It is not a product of a supernatural dimension, or of anything else. There is nothing antecedent to existence, nothing apart from it—and no alternative to it. Existence exists—and only existence exists. Its existence and its nature are irreducible and unalterable."

This answer relies on the Primacy of Existence theory, which states that all things exist even if you don't exist to see it. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there........Well, if the universe exists and no one is there, doesn't it still exist?

A job without work hers 7 thousand dollars a month

Nasa will give you over $7,000 a month just for lying in bed for 70 days (and you can even watch TV and surf the web)

If the idea of ​​lying for months Admires you, the American space agency, or what is known as the "NASA," looking for volunteers to lie for 70 days in exchange for a reward of up to $ 18 thousand at the end of the period.

The objective of this experiment is to examine the interaction of the body and the extent to which the muscles in the body of the individual and applied on long space flights carried out by the astronauts.

 

The agency said that  an individual volunteer has to stay 70 days exactly lying without standing on his feet, and allows him in this period watching TV and surfing the Internet or reading, but his commitment is not to stand on his own feet, even if he had to go to the toilet, where would provide him the techniques used in tripsspace for the toilet.

The agency highlighted that the only situation that allows an individual to stand on his own feet can be for certain tests and at the request of the researchers only.

Waw an Namus, An Incredible Land In Libya Like A Part Of The Moon

Can you believe that this photos is a part of the planet Earth?!

It is an image of Mount Waw an Namus in Libya, which is a geological formation wondrous located in south-central Libya, where the dark basalt volcanic mixed with green trees and plants, and blue lakes surrounding the center of the desert golden sand , to make all of them a very beautiful painting!

Waw an Namus Mount is a volcanic mountain its crater stretched over an area of 10 to 20 km and at altitudes of 575 meters, surrounded by three lakes with a variety of plants such as reeds and bamboo and palm trees.

This place is a nature reserve of some rare creatures, where scientists have discovered 16 new species of mosquitoes in this region!

The tourists said that Waw an Namus is like "a piece of the moon fell on the ground!", and If you look at it from a satellite you feel the accuracy of this analogy, as in this photo:

And you can see this by yourself throw this link  Wikimapia – Waw An Namus

Incredible Rain Of Microbes On A Mysterious Moon of Saturn

We are living in a universe that reveals to us day after day that it is stranger than fiction. Recently revealed the Cassini spacecraft images that there will be an amazing (if true) mutation in our view of the universe:

What you are seeing are photos taken by the Cassini spacecraft when it passed near Enceladus (a moon of Saturn), in which you can see streams of water huge-like fountain flowing by Enceladus to the Space!, And when  NASA scientists  analyzed what are these fountains (or fountains) contains, they found that it consists of water vapor and ice particles and organic compounds, the scientists think that they have enough evidence to say it contains microbes as well!

That is raining on the moon  Enceladus  Water, snow and microbes!!

Cassini spacecraft approached to within 74 kilometers of the lunar south pole to capture these images, which were detected more than 90 fountains spouting water vapor and bacteria on the surface of the planet.

(Imaginary paintings, by computer for Moon Enceladus Surface)

Enceladus has a diameter of about 500 km, one of the many moons of Saturnclose to the 60 satellite! , And this image of Enceladus were captured by the year2009.

The moon Pointed out the attention of scientists since the long time because of mysterious cracks that exist on its surface, because of it the scientists have discovered signs of a huge sea of ​​bottom surface of this mysterious moon , and the exciting that the NASA vehicles monitored the salts in the components of the planet's water makes its like seas on the planet!

(Picture of the cracks on the surface of the mysterious moon)

This information is still part of the assumptions based on scientific observation and reading some of the sensors, but the scientists are planning to get samples from the fountains spray to study them and cut off any doubt.

So, Is this little moon may be a reason to change our view of the universe?
