Science!
So...according to Scientists, they have been able to perform a rather complex experiment involving gyroscopes in earth orbit, in order to prove one of Einstein's theories about Relativity. Apparently, there IS such a thing as the Space/Time continuum, not to mention a Fourth Dimension. I'm not a physicist or anything, and some of it was a bit esoteric...but there is apparently a little dimple in space orbiting the Earth. Which leads me to wonder if there is a dimple in space around all of the OTHER planets, not to mention the sun, stars and stuff like that.
Which means that wormholes do exist, and possibly portals to other universes or means to travel past the speed of light, or all KINDS of cool Science Fiction sort of things that Comic books have been using as plot devices all of these years.
The 52 is real!
Maybe. Still...I find this to be fascinating. Now we know how Green Lanterns get to Oa so quickly. And speaking of Oa...
This is a picture taken by Nasa, and it's just so...so perfect.

Ooooh, nebulas. I love nebulas. They're so PRETTY -- and sad, since they're believed to be the leftover residue of dead stars. :-(
It IS awfully pretty. And while some nebulas are the remnants of dead star, they also serve as baby star nurseries...and the circle of life continues. Or something.
Gosh, outer space is just so cool.
