Hemidakota Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Worlds without number...."What they're characterizing as a single massive star could in fact be a binary system too close to be resolved," said Mark Krumholz, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz."Distance is an issue right now...but believe me, when the veil is dropped at the core of own galaxy, it may pale this star in size and luminosity. If it so, we are looking at a centric core of newly formed galaxy. Eventually, I believe, a cloak or veil will be in place to cover such from those worlds which will be created and used for humanity. But I do want to thank you for posting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloaks? Veils? Is this a trekkie thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
