Hanny's Voorwerp and Star Wars

Today I quote others' and I am not creative enough to make up these obvious facts of the UNIVERSE FOR WHICH WE LIVE IN.

Remember from the beginning, the Universe is really really really big,...Huge,...

Galaxy Zoo images has discovered something really strange. The mystery object is unusually green, not of any clear galaxy type, and situated below relatively normal looking spiral galaxy IC 2497. Dutch schoolteacher Hanny van Arkel, discovered the strange green "voorwerp" (Dutch for "object") last year. The Galaxy Zoo project encourages sky enthusiasts to browse through SDSS images and classify galaxy types. Now known popularly as Hanny's Voorwerp, subsequent observations have shown that the mysterious green blob has the same distance as neighboring galaxy IC 2497. Research is Explanation: What is that green thing? A volunteer sky enthusiast surfing through online ongoing, but one leading hypothesis holds that Hanny's Voorwerp is a small galaxy that acts like a large reflection nebula, showing the reflected light of a bright quasar event that was visible in the center of IC 2497 about 100,000 years ago. Pictured above, Hanny's Voorwerp was imaged recently by the 2.5-meter Isaac Newton Telescope in the Canary Islands by Dan Smith, Peter Herbert and Chris Lintott (Univ. Hertfordshire). Other collaboration members include Matt Jarvis, Kevin Schawinski, and William Keel.

Now this comes from an ESPN sports writer;...

Another Voorwerp Found? TMQ has noted the creepy possibility that gamma-ray bursts, powerful energy spikes from deep space, are the muzzle flashes of awful weapons used in distant combat. Reader Chris Crooks of South Reading, Va., notes a creepy astronomy finding by Kyle Barbary of the University of California at Berkeley: SCP 06F6, a region where very powerful deep-space energy discharges appeared seemingly from nowhere, existed for about 100 days, then vanished. The strange energy glow lasted much longer than a gamma-ray burst, but lacked the technical characteristics of supernova explosions: "The transient's spectrum, in addition to being inconsistent with all known supernova types, is not matched to any spectrum in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey," which so far has mapped roughly one-quarter of the heavens. Cosmologists are now trying to puzzle out what SCP 06F6 might be, and assuming, of course, that it is natural. What if instead this is a glimpse of a region of ancient, horrific war -- ancient because it is billions of light-years away, thus billions of years in the past -- in which the combatants employed weapons too terrible to contemplate? Ancient combat that continued about 100 days until the last participant was wiped out, and the region of space fell cold and lifeless.


What can I say other than the world is much more important and interesting than, politics and beer,...
It's bigger and crazier than anything Hollywood can predict, and that is a mindset so few humans can handle,...
There comes a time when most of what each of us has experienced must be put aside, and a new process of thinking needs to take over,... a new open mind-ness of non-expectation,...changing the way each individual shall approach problems and distractions,...it starts from the inside and expands outward, (in the way the universe operates) ,...

Traveling to Marriage

This is a day I'm not sure would ever happen.

Yet, it is here, and I feel honored, excited and blessed.

A lot happens in every one's life, we all have ups and downs, things that challenge, teach, and help us grow. This I will imagine is THE adventure. There is the unknown and the known, marriage is one of the unknowns.
Traveling is all about finding the unknown. It is exploration and the ability to experience each part of the unknown. It is a journey and an automatic process of changing the unknown into the known. The magic is everything that happens in between and during the process. It is that experience that I look forward to and gets my adrenaline flowing.
Today I will be getting married to a girl named Marie,...she has inspired me and changed my life for the last five years. She is my support, my friend, and my cheerleader. She is my connection to the fairy world, and the keeper of my heart.
She is the one human who will drive me to tormented anguish while at the same time have me laughing and smiling the entire time. It is amazing to me to be at times in a very heated emotional argument with her and in an instant turn it into a temporary moment of complete irrelevance.

(All personal human debates are really inconsequential, and she is the only human I have met that understands that negative emotions are a waste of time, and only represent a supreme reluctance for each individual to grow from subject that they are arguing about, but she gets it.)
She is a ray of light in a what is becoming a very dark world.
Today, we will commit to each other to spend our immediate life on this planet to be with each other, to love and support, and basically keep each other company while we travel along this short ride.


As I write these words, I am smiling, and thinking that,...Life is good,...

Bumbas,...Happy Trails!

Time and Distractions

Wow,...

Sometimes the everyday has a distinct way to remind each person living on Earth that time does not stand still.
It hasn't seemed like two months since I last blogged, but it has,...
The blogging does have everything to do with discipline and the daily ritual of following our own daily rituals.
Successful people always amaze others with their ability to maintain an organized regiment of doing the most boring stuff imaginable. Yet, that's exactly how they succeed.


Still, the very nature of our planet, and the universe is change is the constant, time is a real tangent, and evolution,... well that is up to each of us to decide.
Everyday we all make a choice to stay at the place where we are(meaning our life path) or to evolve, or change or (grow).
Then at sometime we get distracted from the big picture as we focus on immediate or smaller picture type of stuff. That's the moment of magic, and how time spins away, out of our control,...
That's the difference from focusing on the universe and focusing on just the earth realm.

There is time enough to follow both visions, and both ways of seeing and living,...
We must never stop doing our daily rituals, we must never stop giving Thanks, and still stay aware of our immediate obligations,...

So how did I loose focus, were did I spend my last two months,...just living,... oh that and I am about to live through the most ritualized, most sacred, and most talked of human endeavours,...
mating,..human pair bonding,...single male/female species commitment,...marriage. It's actually happening,...........


..............
Hehe,...

Bumbas,...Happy Trails!
