Just curious, and not looking for my own debate, but is anyone else watching the Democratic debate tonight?
The Sombrero Galaxy in Infrared
This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy — or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in optical light actually glows brightly in infrared light.
This image, digitally sharpened, shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in optical light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years across and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo.

Infant's HEAD Reattached Following Internal Decapitation
In a remarkable achievement of modern medicine, surgeons have managed to reattach the head of a toddler that became separated from his neck in a severe car accident. But before your mind begins to run away with images, this was an internal decapitation; his head was not completely separated from his body. Regardless, that should not take away from the fact that this is some surgical feat.
What Would Happen If You Shot A Gun In Space?
How would a bullet fired from a gun behave in zero or low gravity? And how much water would it take to put out the Sun? Take a look at Vsauce’s video explaining that on the Moon, you could potentially shoot yourself in the head, and that no amount of water will put out the fire burning on the Sun.
