Hubble Captures the Violent Birth of a Star

The Bad Astronomer writes "In what is one of the most staggeringly beautiful Hubble pictures ever taken, a newly-born massive star is blasting four separate jets of material into its surrounding cocoon, carving out cavities in the material over two light years long. But only three of the jets appear to have matter still inside them, and the central star is off-center. This may be a gorgeous picture, but the science behind it is equally as compelling."

Do you realize you're the problem with the world, America in particular?

wow, are you the same AC who went bananas in my journal entry for no reason recently? do you not realize that my reply here was to someone who is so engrossed with his hero/savior/messiah that not only is every one of his posts is a tribute to him? you try to sound as if the post i replied to was somehow not political, let me give you a clue AC - just because a post was moderated "funny" does not mean the post itself was not intended as a political statement.

and on top of that, the very notion of telling someone they're "the problem with the world" shows that you are yourself an arrogant hack.
