Gravitational waves are real — and that’s a huge f***ing deal!

A century ago, Albert Einstein theorized there was such a thing as a fabric of space and time — that the universe was malleable, and that large objects and events would cause it to bend.

He was right. From studying the signals emanating from the merging of two black holes — have separate masses equal to 36 and 29 suns — scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory were able to observe gravitational waves. Their measurements matched expectations of what Einstein predicted in his General Theory of Relativity.

Gravitational waves: discovery hailed as breakthrough of the century

Once again, Albert Einstein is proven right. Read more about this discovery in The Guardian.

Great Nebula of our Galaxy

A Nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases located within our cosmos. Long ago Nebula was used as a term for any diffuse astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. As our knowledge of the universe expanded, so did our knowledge of Nebulae.
