Three Canadian Astronomer Have Discovered Superstars In Our Galaxey

geeko.boy — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:01:06 +0000

“Three astronomers at the University of Toronto have found the most numerous batch of young, supermassive stars yet observed in our galaxy: hundreds of thousands of stars, including several hundreds of the most massive kind –blue stars dozens of times heavier than our Sun. The light these newborn stars emit is so intense it has pushed out and heated the gas that gave them birth, carving out a glowing hollow shell about a hundred light-years across.

These findings will be published in the December 20 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters. More…”

Dr. Horrible

DWW — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:45:13 +0000

I was reading Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy when I ran across a post about Joss Whedon creating some called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It features Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day. Well you have just got to watch it is a hoot. Oh and funny if you are into sing blog’s of Evil Genius who just wants to be accepted. Well accepted as a evil genius.

Phil also mentioned this so I might as well to. This is a musical, yup a evil genius that sings. Batman was never this good or funny.

Long Weekend Over and That Suck!

DWW — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 05:21:27 +0000

It’s over and now summer dies, taking its’ last gasps of breath. On Saturday Gemma and I attend the wedding of the son of a friend of ours. Left the house at 2pm and got home at 1am. It was a really long day. It is too bad I had the runs all that day. They had an open bar, I just didn’t feel up to the task of some hard drinkin’. Today I went to a company bbq and got there to find out that the theme was Hawaiian! The host insisted that we where stupid lays and fake grass skirts. Thankful I had family stuff to attend to so I was able to leave early.
