Astronomy Buff

by Tony on November 30th, 2007

Today, the following things happened:

The universe got a little bit bigger, and it did it faster than it did yesterday.
The Andromeda Galaxy got a little closer to us.
The Sun rose in the East this morning, and then set in the West later in the day.
Oh, and radio astronomers found a hole in the universe.

Some days are better than others.

Wow, that sounds really interesting. But not enough to pay for a subscription to read the whole article. Anyone got another good, free, no subscription source for this story?

Hi Beau,

Great to hear from you again, it’s been awhile. Sorry about the subscription link, I forget that I’m subscribed and others are not. Thanks for hunting up another source! I’ll put it in the main post as well.

Yeah, I asked you a couple times about that “hole in the universe” thing… I was wondering if was real or not…glad to see more info posted about it.
