What's Cool in Science This Week?

Yes, we have peat in Florida. But we call him 'Pete' like he prefers. And just like today, 7000 years ago nobody could afford to live on the Gulf and just went there to be buried.

You remember that, do you, old-timer? :)

That's the reason why I NEVER go to the beach anymore. Somebody always comes by and tries to throw me back into the Peat Pit.  >:(

Better than being rolled into the water....

True enough.

Nice one, Brant! I read your link before clicking it and saw "NASA saw something come out of black ...."

My mind instantly filled in " ... depths of space."

So we don't need to go to it. It's coming to us, right? Very interesting. Thanks for the post Emeraldlis.

Glad you liked it  O0 yeah it's coming to us, but no need to panic, it's only gonna happen in 4 billion years time  :D what's cool though, is that the distance between all of the stars is so great, that when andromeda "collides" with our milky way galaxy, nothing should crash into each other and get destroyed. They should really say these two galaxy's will merge.... But you know what it's like, it's more sensational to say they are going to collide    it would be epic to see a huge galaxy in the night sky though!  <:-)
