Hubble, Journey Through the Orion Nebula

That's neat about the "tadpoles" in which infant solar system. Sort of like fractals.

I was hiking with my buddy and he was talking about fractals. He was at this spot on a peak where the water flowed in one direction to Hudson Bay, and another direction to the Mississippi, and another direction to the Pacific via the Snake and Columbia Rivers. But, if you start at the Continental Divide and move down, you find sub-fractals all along the way to the sea, like smaller divides that split multiple ways.

Fractals. Someone should do a topic on that.

Hubble telescope spots huge cannonballs near dying star, phenomenon intrigues astronomers
Oct 07, 2016 - NASA’s Hubble telescope has discovered giant cannonballs of gas, shooting near a dying star. The massive blobs of gas are being ejected at a very high speed.

In an intriguing discovery, NASA's Hubble telescope has discovered giant cannonballs of gas, shooting near a dying star. The massive blobs of gas are being ejected at a very high speed and astronomers estimate that the phenomenon has continued once every 8.5 years, for the past 400 years. Hubble's discovery of fireballs has caught the attention of scientists and they are highly puzzled by this strange phenomenon, reports Phys.org. They think that the blobs could not be shot by the host star, that is, V Hydrae. This is because it is a red giant- a dying star, a kind of star that is in the last stages of its life and is exhausting its nuclear fuel and therefore, emits light.

Some scientists believe that an unseen companion star is behind these plasma balls. They theorize that the companion star must be in an elliptical orbit, which would have carried it close to the bloated atmosphere of the red giant every 8.5 years. When it entered the atmosphere, it absorbed material, which settled into a circle around the companion star. This very circle then served as the launching pad for the gas blobs that are traveling at a speed of about half-million miles per hour.

The Hubble Space Telescope is grappled to Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-125 by the shuttle's Canadian-built remote manipulator system May 13, 2009 in Space. The space shuttle Atlantis' mission is to overhaul the Hubble Space Telescope in order to extend its working life.

This cannonball fire from V Hydrae is really a curious matter but scientists often observe it around dying stars, claims The Space Reporter. According to Prof. Raghvendra Sahai of NASA, they knew this object had a high-speed outflow from previous data, but it is for the first time that they were seeing this process in action.

He also suggests that the gaseous blobs produced in the later stages of the life of a star help to create the structures seen in planetary nebulae. In the past two decades, Hubble has revealed a great deal of complexity in the structure of the planetary nebulae. The high resolution of the telescope has captured knots of material in the gas clouds surrounding the stars and astronomers believe that these knots are actually jets ejected by disks of material around the dying stars.

Weird UFO sucks up cloudtail left behind by an aircraft, shows 'alien' technique of clearing Earth's skyline [VIDEO]
Oct 05, 2016 - An unidentified flying object (UFO) was recently spotted over Paris, sucking up the cloudtrail left by an aircraft. People believe that its is alien's way of proteting humans.

An unidentified flying object (UFO) was recently spotted over Paris. Even though UFO sighting have become quite popular in 2016, the one spotted over Paris skies seemed a unusual as it was seen sucking up the clouds in the sky. According to the Mirror, the UFO spotted over Paris used alien technique of clearing Earth's skyline. The UFO seemingly soaks up the cloud trail or chemical trail left behind by an aircraft. When the job is done, it disappears mysteriously. The video was uploaded by the YouTube user named WTFlow. The weird incident was filmed on Sept. 28, Wednesday, at 7:41 p.m. local time.

In the video, the uploader explains how he first noticed a weird light crossing across the sky. The speed of the object varied at the time of the sunset. He first believed that it was just another drone or a helicopter, but further observation made him believe that it was something out of this world - something alien. According to the YouTube user, the object was witnessed performing "weird manoeuvres, accelerating and decelerating randomly." As soon as the user realized that it was something different, he started to film the cloud tails and was left completely shocked by what happened next.

The object, intentionally or unintentionally, stopped just in front of the cloud tail. Next, it started to progressively destroy it with the help of an unidentified alien technique. This is the reason why the video uploader believes that there is some sought of connection between disappearance of cloud trail and UFOs because chemtrails do not disappear just like that. Scott Waring of UFO Sightings Daily further added that most UFOs are vulnerable to be seen at the time of the sunset and the recent object spotted over Paris may actually be a UFO. Alien hunters and UFO enthusiasts believe that this could be a man-made way to destruct the chemtrail or some extraterrestrial efforts to save the mankind and protect them.
