Andromeda Galaxy's Secrets Revealed By Going Beyond Visible Light

StartsWithABang writes: The Andromeda galaxy is our closest large neighbor, dominating our local group with more than double the number of stars found in the Milky Way. While visible light can reveal a tremendous amount of information, it's by going to shorter (UV) and longer (IR) wavelengths that we can learn where the newest, hottest stars are, find that they form in clusters along the arms and in the center, see through the (visible) light-blocking dust, and pinpoint the location of the neutral gas that will form the next generation of stars.

Jesus H Christ, the quality of the posts is going down the fucking drain.

The article Pretty Pretty Pictures of Andromeda, such science, such insight.

Startswithabang was so incredibly keen to suck some traffic from /. for his personal blog he didn't even check to see if his blog was viewable.

Here's a hint, we'll be here tomorrow too, we'll still feed your dumed down blog with clicks then too. There's no rush to get it out so quickly that you can't even have a look at your own page to see if the full high res pictures that can't be rescaled don't take up 30 pages. .

What article, seriously it's just a bunch of pictures that don't fit on screen at any resolution.
