The Universe within 12.5 Light Years - The Nearest stars
Pretty awesome when you think about it. Assuming we don't kill ourselves and are able to either develop some kind of faster, cost-efficient space travel (as obviously light speed is out of the question, and even near light speed is out of the question for at least a long time), it would only take us 20-30 years to get to some of these star systems. I can totally see a "stellar neighborhood" in our little corner of the cosmos happening here. |

F3lix, you are a smart guy, but I'm honestly a bit surprised by some of your comments in regard to religion lately. I know I get pretty heated myself, but I usually have a bit more substantive things to say than snarky, 16 year-old-esque comments. This is one of those that doesn't really contribute a lot to any discussion, nor was God implied in any part of that post.
So...I don't really get...why you even said it? It's a mass of gases that churns out stars, commonly called a nebula or "star factory", and there are an astronomical number of them. |

Did you know Alpha Centauri is a binary star system (two stars close together that appear as one star to the naked eye) and that those two objects are actually not the closest star to our Sun and that a much smaller star called Proxima Centauri is? Because I didn't.

Without even clicking on that link, that would fuck up so many things it's not even worth worrying about.
EDIT - misleading title much, io9? Quote:

I make bad decisions.

That would be really cool to see by complete co-incidence.
LOL @ the pilot "the space shuttle is going off right now. If you're on the right side of the aircraft, you can see the space shuttle. If you're on the left side of the aircraft, you can see the people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the space shuttle." |
