Doth thou ever look upon the dark of the night sky? Wondering, does it ever end? Or is it an everlong expanse of darkness into the eternal depths of time and space. Is there a barrier and if so, is there an outside to that end; and what is beyond? Is there a never ending void? The Everlasting Void A Void can be defined in many ways. In Astronomy, it is the space between galaxies that does not contain galaxies, the dark in between of what we see, or don't see, between the stars in the night sky. Another way to define a void is a vacuum of darkness, pure nothing. This void can last forever in some minds. What would it be like to be in the presence of nothing? Would one cease to be if thou were to explore the void? What can one expect if thee goes to nothing? Does nothing become something? Or does everything that enters disappear? What goes on in, The Void? Introduction

The Atom, the core of all things of substance in The World. All of us and all things that has some form of mass has Atoms. Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all that exist, have existed and will exist. What makes an atom though? Well, it's pretty simple to say the least. An Atom is basically made up of three components, The Proton (P\p+), The Neutron (n0) and Electron (e-). - The Proton is the Positively charged particle of The Atom -The Neutron is the non charged particle of The Atom - The Electron is the negatively charged particle of The Atom These atoms are what will come together in order to form what we know as Elements. Elements are the element formation of all physical object of existence. Example of elements include Hydrogen(H), Helium(He), Carbon(C), Gold(Au), Silver(Ag),Nitrogen(N) Uranium(U), Plutonium(Po), Lithium,(Li) Iron(Fe), Oxygen(O), Nickel(Ni) and Potassium(K). Without these fundamental, elemental parts of The World, everything would cease to exist. Introduction

The Pisces shows a blueshift, which is a decrease in wavelength that produces a blue coloring to the observer, and is approaching our galaxy, The Milky Way Galaxy, at a velocity of 287 kilometers per second. Nova
A Nova is an Astronomical phenomenon that begets a spontaneous appearance of a bright apparently new star that will fade in brightness over the period of many weeks or months. The different causes of a nova are as divergent as they come. One Thing is in common however; All Novae or Novas, involve a white dwarf within a near proximity binary system. The Main Classes of Novas are The Classical Novae, Recurrent Novae (RNe) and The Dwarf Novae. All three classes are considered cataclysmic variable stars. The Classical Nova The Classical Novas are the most common form of Nova. The Creation of Classical Novas are probably a close binary system encompassing a white dwarf and either A Main Sequence Star, A Giant Star or a Red Giant Star. The Orbital period of The White Dwarf and it's companion star is around one day to several days long. Over the days of these orbits, the accreted matter of the companion star will be pulled to the surface of The White Dwarf which in turn, creates a dense and shallow atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen. This hydrogen is then heated by the white dwarf and the high temperature rise high enough to ignite causing speedy runaway fusion. The Spontaneous increase in Power and Energy expels the atmosphere into Interstellar Space which then creates an envelope seen by the observer as visible light. This is why a nova can be mistaken for a new star being born. Recurrent Novae Recurrent Novas are novae that continuously bursts in intervals. These type of Novae are rare with only 10 known in Today's World (May 2020) The Intervals typically occurs in the magnitude of decades. Dwarf Novae Dwarf Novae, also known as a U Geminorum-Type Variable Star, is a novae that mocks the same quality of The Classical Novae, except is much dimmer, less Grand, and repeat more frequently than The Classical Novae.

The World we live in, Earth, is filled with stories, in almost every culture and Tradition, of Dragons. Sometimes they Breathe Fire, other times they do magic, they could also sometimes hide in a cave liar with tons of gold and treasures and some of them can even speak Latin. The common theme however, is that they are large, scaly, reptilian monsters who can fly. Now whether they are good or bad, is ultimately up to which Tradition you observe. In European Tradition, Dragons are bad and In Asian Tradition, they are good; and they look a little different too. In Europe, they are big dinosaur-like creatures while in East Asia, they are serpent-like creatures. Either way, they do have their core characteristics that make them recognizable as Dragons across The World. Today, we not see any evidence really, of the actual existence of Dragons. So how do we get these myths, legends and lore? One theory is that they once roamed The Earth and were as common as cattle or sheep and that they eventually went extinct like The Moa or Dodo Bird. Another is that they are inspired by an alien species from a far away galaxy that not only comes to visits us, but controls our macro-species actions as we speak. Alpha Dragon There are some who believe that in The Draco Constellation(The Dragon Constellation) is a galaxy, The Draco Galaxy (The Dragon Galaxy), lies a planet of humanoid dragons called The Draco World (The Dragon World). It is believed that many eons ago, these humanoids dragons, known as Draconians or Alpha Draconians, came to Earth to enslave humanity and mined resources for The Draconians own benefits. It is believed that just like reptiloids, that Alpha Draconians disguise themselves as humans and run The World between closed doors. Not only that, but they are believed to actually be actively suppressing human knowledge and evolution and holding us back from Universal domination. Conclusion If this is true about domination of humanity by The Alpha Draconians, how can we stop them from controlling our species? Is it already too late? Will Humanity rise up overthrow The Alpha Draconians and Dominant The Universe?! Only time can tell. Introduction
Tadpole Galaxy, also known as UGC 10214, Arp 188 and PGC 57129, is a barred spiral galaxy located in The Draco Constellation (The Dragon Constellation). Arp 188 is located 420 Million Light Years away from Earth. Tadpole Galaxy has a diameter of 280,000 Light Years, a diameter of 195,000 Light Years and a mass of around 100,000 Solar Masses. Profile of Tadpole Galaxy Tadpole Galaxy was discovered in 1982 by Canadian Astronomer Paul Hickson. The most notable feature of Arp 188 is its long tail of stellar matter that span 280,000 Light Years across Space. It is believed that this is caused due to a merger between UGC 10214 and much smaller galaxy. This fusion is believed to have occurred 100 Million Years Ago. It is believed that in the future that the Tadpolr Galaxy's tail will fade and be lost. Perhaps whenever that occurs, we should rename Tadpole Galaxy to Frog Galaxy or Toad Galaxy, for the same thing happens to Tadpoles on Earth. Introduction
Needle Galaxy, also known as NGC 4565, UGC 7772, PGC 42038 and Caldwell 38, is a Spiral Galaxy located in The Coma Berenices Constellation. Needle Galaxy is located 38.49 Million Light Years from Earth. Needle Galaxy has a mass of around eight hundred billion Solar Masses. NGC 4565 gets its name, Needle Galaxy, due to the fact that its observable shape resembles that of a needle. Profile of Needle Galaxy Needle Galaxy was discovered in 1785 by German-Born British Astronomer William Herschel. It is said that NGC 4565 is an outstanding illustration of an edge-on Spiral Galaxy. Needle Galaxy is a gargantuan galaxy with more fluorescence than that of our neighboring galaxy, The Andromeda Galaxy. Within the Needle Galaxy, there appears to be a bulge or pseudobulge coming from its core. This has led to speculated that NGC 4565 is in fact a barred spiral galaxy as opposed to just a spiral galaxy. These observations have been proven now thanks to the Spitzer Space Telescope, who in fact came back to Earth this year (January 2020), who confirmed the existence of the center bulge within the Needle Galaxy. Introduction
Backward Galaxy, also known as NGC 4622 or PGC 42701, is a unbarred spiral galaxy located within The Centaurus Constellation. An unbarred spiral galaxy is a spiral galaxy without a central bar. Backward Galaxy has a prominent ring structure. Backward Galaxy is located 111 Million Light Years from Earth. Profile of Backward Galaxy The Backwards Galaxy was discovered by a team of scientist Ron Buta and Gene Byrd of The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa and Tarsh Freeman of Bevill State Community College in Alabama. Backward is a Galaxy with leading spiral arms. In spiral galaxies, spiral arms were thought to trail; the tips of the spiral arms winding away from the center of the galaxy in the direction of the disks orbital rotation. In The Backward Galaxy, the outer arms are leading spiral arms and the tips of the spiral arms point towards the direction of disk rotation. This may be the result of a gravitational interaction between NGC 4622 and another galaxy or the result of a merger between Backward and something smaller. It was originally believed that the inner spiral arm was a leading arm, the observations that established that the outer arms were leading also established that the inner arm was trailing. This however met with skepticism in part because they contradicted conventional wisdom with a quote being “So you’re the backward astronomers who found the backward galaxy.” And that is how NGC 4622 received the name Backward Galaxy. |
