Science is Cool....
This is a repository for all cool scientific discussion and fascination. Scientific facts, theories, and overall cool scientific stuff that you'd like to share with others. Stuff that makes you smile and wonder at the amazing shit going on around us, that most people don't notice.

Post pictures, vidoes, stories, or links. Ask questions. Share science.

Why should I care?:

Turns out we were wrong; there aren't 200 billion galaxies in the universe.

It's more like 2 trillion.

Yes, TRILLION!

That's the latest from NASA, which announced Thursday the number of galaxies in our observable universe is 10 times higher than previously projected.
This revelation was possible, thanks to that font of discovery -- the Hubble Space Telescope.

That's 286 galaxies for every person on earth. They should start selling ownership of them. I'd pay $25 to NASA to officially own my own galaxy.

I think a star runs you about $25 or more. I think a galaxy would cost you a bit more.

Supply and demand. I think the market for galaxies tanked today.

Best I could do is $8.
I got a buddy who's an expert in celestial objects and he tells me they just aren't that valuable anymore. If youda sold ten days ago, then sure I coulda given $25, but not today.

Thing is, I gotta pay out for this galaxy, then wait around for the off chance someone's looking for just that galaxy.

'til then, it's just gathering dust on my shelves.

It's kind of a one-off, tough to resell, you understand.

But these are not all cookie cutter galaxies. Some have a lot of custom work done to them. There needs to be different price ranges for them.

Sure, some galaxies are custom. Galaxies vary widely. But your basic spiral galaxy will work just fine for most people, is aesthetically pleasing, and with this new discovery they're going for pennies on the dollar. You simply shouldn't pay very much for a basic spiral galaxy these days.

I really want one of those sombrero galaxies. One that's been customized with little dingle ball solar systems dangling all the way around the brim. I wonder what one of those would cost ?

Those might run a little extra. I suspect that things like sombreros and horseheads are probably more in demand, while galaxies with supermassive black holes and quasars probably go pretty cheap.

SpaceX has its own thread, but Orbital is doing stuff too. There's a launch to the ISS at 7:40 EDT (about 30 minutes from now) from Wallops Island VA. The last one didn't go so well last year (think, boom)...

I'll probably be able to see this from home!

Well, not exactly the production values and camera angles of a SpaceX launch...



But everything looks like a smooth launch.
