Whirlpool Galaxy

[Beercules]

A stunning view of the "Whirlpool Galaxy" (Messier 51) has been captured by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Some 30 million light-years from Earth, it was nicknamed 'Whirlpool' because of its swirling arms of stars and dust, and is thought to contain several black holes.

How about a "oh gee that's interesting beercules, if I could remove my head from my arsehole I would care but I love Justin Bieber so I could care less, did you hear the latest news on Kim and Kanye?!"

It might generate some commentary if we didn't need a fucking microscope to see the damn thing. How ironic is that? Needing a microscope to see a picture that was taken by a telescope? My mind is blown.

We doin' it Derek Vineyard style!




This was just posted as a response to Beercules wish to curb stomp us. Sane Man in no way condones the behaviour of the Neo-Nazi in the clip. Curb stomping people is wrong.

And Sane Man I can't find the gif of Tony Soprano curb stomping some mafia guy, but that's what I had in mind.

I've always been fascinated how huge the universe is. 30 million light years away! We don't have any vehicle even close to speed of light. Even if we did, it would take 30 million years to get to that galaxy. Seriously, it's like living in a fantasy world.
