Galaxies Underestimated

[OVERKILL]

Was there a 460 Galaxy? Or better a 427?

Groan.

FWIW, I’m inclined to believe in an infinite‑universes reality, despite having no evidence to support it.

My mouse mind has always thought this. There is no end. Should there be? Why?

Then there is, life changing: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...-that-sparked-the-horsepower-wars-256659.html

I don't pretend to begin to understant astronomy, Particle Physics, ect. But I like to touch it through the minds and work of others. Attending the KIPAC Lecture series and all the others around here is falt-out fascinating.

If you ever get to hear Prof. Brian Cox, by all means do so!

All those freezing nights out looking at the sky with my 10" telescope and then one day I bought a hot tub. The sky looks so much better while laying back in hot bubbling water.

Awkchually... it was a 428.

Ford put so many different engines in the Galaxy, it was nuts. 223 and 240 straight sixes; 272, 292, 312 Y blocks , 260, 289, 302, 351 Windsors; 332, 352, 390, 406, 427, 428 FE blocks; 400, 429, and 460 335 series blocks.

Whew! I probably missed a couple, too.

Like the Vulcan "Live Long and Prosper" sign?

That's the one!

Cool. It's interesting how little we know about the universe. I still think it's nuts that several stars we see have already burned out yet we still see light from them.

That can even be applied to our own sun. As the light emitting from it takes ~8 minutes 20 second to get here, we're seeing the sun where is was in that amount of time...in the past.
