I can't beat either the headline or the blog entry from Gizmodo on this amazing story. My picture is kind of irrelevant, though- I'm out of time.

Neutron star crusts are insane

"Exhibiting extreme gravity while rotating as fast as 700 times per second, neutron stars are massive stars that collapsed once their cores ceased nuclear fusion and energy production. The only things more dense are black holes, as a teaspoonful of neutron star matter would weigh about 100 million tons."

IYA2009

This year is the International Year of Astronomy. It has many major goals but only 2 will affect the common people: Increase scientific awareness and increase widespread knowledge of the subject. The other goals are to improve/ create better astronomic tools and activities including 100 Hours of Astronomy. Their official website can be found at Astronomy2009.org.

Music is The Great Gig In The Sky from Pink Floyd's famous album, The Dark Side of The Moon (third best-selling album of all time).

Mindboggling photo

This is an historic photo taken very recently: never let it be said that we don't live in interesting times! This is a photo of Phoenix as it was landing on Mars, taken by another man-made machine, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. How cool is it to photograph our own Mars landing?
