Anonymous Coward User ID: 14589973 Netherlands 09/25/2012 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NASA's Chandra Shows Milky Way is Surrounded by Halo of Hot Gas Quoting: Swinging on Spirals :milkywayhalo: Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find evidence our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded in an enormous halo of hot gas that extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. The estimated mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the galaxy. If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it also could be an explanation for what is known as the "missing baryon" problem for the galaxy... ... Chandra observed eight bright X-ray sources located far beyond the galaxy at distances of hundreds of millions of light-years. The data revealed X-rays from these distant sources are absorbed selectively by oxygen ions in the vicinity of the galaxy. The scientists determined the temperature of the absorbing halo is between 1 million and 2.5 million kelvins, or a few hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun... ...This new research provides evidence the hot gas halo enveloping the Milky Way is much more massive than the warm gas halo... ..."It may extend for a few hundred thousand light-years around the Milky Way or it may extend farther into the surrounding local group of galaxies. Either way, its mass appears to be very large."... ...Baryons are particles, such as protons and neutrons, which make up more than 99.9 percent of the mass of atoms found in the cosmos. Measurements of extremely distant gas halos and galaxies indicate the baryonic matter present when the universe was only a few billion years old represented about one-sixth the mass and density of the existing unobservable, or dark, matter.

(OP) User ID: 865798 United States 09/25/2012 11:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | wow...thanks for scanning the net for this kind of news, ss :) Quoting: R... how do you put this in the interstellar cloud/ribbon picture? Remember, this is MASSIVE and surrounds the entire galaxy. For me, it just goes to show that these things we are finding out have a commonality, and that is plasma. Various temps/densities etc. To me, it 'feels' very simple as a universal foundation, but interacts with itself in VERY complicated ways. Imagine, 99.99% of the universe is plasma. We live on a world that is very rare in relation to what most of the universe is. And yet, it is all just more complex ways of how the aether coalesces through movement. (And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.) Makes me wonder about the attributes and where consciousness arises from to exist within the coalesced aether. The bridge that our minds are, minds that exist in the non-material, with the ability to play in the material through our bodies. It's all so beautiful.

I think the universe is just full of bigger and bigger organisms to tell you the truth. we are like those mites in that other thred. just my 2cents Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1634456 kinda like that china doll inside a doll inside a doll and so on?

Current estimates are that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe, each of which has hundreds of billions of stars ( and German supercomputer simulation put that number even higher at 500 billion). There could be a galaxy out there for every star in the Milky Way (and the Milky Way galaxy has an est. 200 to 400 billion stars)! Kismet |
