Quote by: Technosoul  Sorry I was thinking of another song about Woodstock as sung by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. (and some famous folk singer as well?).
One question: how come the photo of dust in a black hole has so much bright light in it, it got me confused.
I am not be big fan of theories but the photos taken of the universe are fantastic, like looking at rare gems or hippy art. They have another mission heading for Pulto (and they took new photos on the way of other planets and moons). I hope funding for more space exploration continues. |
These are usually always artist renderings of what they speculate it should look like, or just to show the different objects in question.
Other times, they will superimpose various thermal, 3D, sonic, x-ray shots over one another, as in each method they use to scan an object in space, only focuses on a paticular aspect..
In this case, this was a 3D Rendering by an artist, not the actual black hole in question.
