I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Hubble Catches a Dusty Spiral in Virgo : This magnificent new image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4206, located about 70 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Virgo.

Captured here are vast streaks of dust, some of which are obscuring the central bulge, which can just be made out in the center of the galaxy. Towards the edges of the galaxy, the scattered clumps, which appear blue in this image, mark areas where stars are being born. The bulge, on the other hand, is composed mostly of much older, redder stars, and very little star formation takes place.

NGC 4206 was imaged as part of a Hubble snapshot survey of nearby edge-on spiral galaxies to measure the effect that the material between the stars known as the interstellar medium has on light as it travels through it. Using its Advanced Camera for Surveys, Hubble can reveal information about the dusty material and hydrogen gas in the cold parts of the interstellar medium. Astronomers are then able to map the absorption and scattering of light by the material an effect known as extinction which causes objects to appear redder to us, the observers.

NGC 4206 is visible with most moderate amateur telescopes at 13th magnitude. It was discovered by Hanoverian-born British astronomer, William Herschel on April 17, 1784.

The area around NGC 6503 

This image shows the area around galaxy NGC 6503. The galaxy, which lies about 18 000 000 light-years away is at the edge of a strangely empty patch of space called the Local Void.

I’ve been having writer’s block for quite some time now. Someone. Help. Me.

[fallenaugustus]

Working on a story right now.

Please forgive me if it becomes too unoriginal. This is more difficult than what I had anticipated it to be.

I’ll just pretend I didn’t see that.

Hahay maybe I shouldn’t go to a concert with friends nalang. I think they only see me as an annoying father-figure. Sorry guys, that’s really just who I am.
