Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) scientists have found a galaxy that is 13.1 billion light years away. To date this is the most distant galaxy found. Since the light has taken 13.1 biliion years to reach us we are seeing how the galaxy was when the Universe was only 600 million years old. Not only is that impressive but it tells us the galaxies had formed by that time placing restrains models for the formation of the Universe.

The image below shows the location of the galaxy on the Ultra-Deep Field image taken by the HST in 2009. I posted the full version of this image on the 4th of October. The post is called Hubble Ultra Deep Field.

While this is a very deep image deeper images should be generated from the soon to be launched James Webb Space Telescope. It is hoped that this telescope will find the very first formed galaxies in the universe

Today every point on Earth has a day and night of very nearly 12 hours for each. This is called an equinox and since this one occurs in September every year it is called the September Equinox. It is also called the Autumnal Equinox in the northern hemisphere as it marks the onset of Autumn.

Only one other equinox occurs every year and it occurs in March. Obviously this is called the March equinox. It is also referred to as the Vernal Equinox and in the northern hemisphere marks the start of spring.

Equinoxes occur when the tilt of the Earth’s of rotation is at a right angle to the line connection the Earth and Sun. This can only occur twice in a single orbit of the Earth around the Sun (ie one year). At the time of each equinox the Sun lies at the intersection of the plane containing the Earth and Sun and the plane defining the Earth’s Equator.

In the figure on the right the blue plane is defined by the Earth’s equator. The yellow plane is the plane containing the earth and Sun (the line the Sun appears to follow is called the ecliptic). The position of the Sun at an equinox is marked as Autumnal and Vernal Equinoxes on the figure. Today the Sun is at the pointed marked as Autumnal Equinox.

This video deals with the Hibiru Hoax. This hoax relates to a planet which is approaching Earth and will cause a major extintion event at some point. Original dates for this has already past. The latest manifestation of the hoax is that the planet will cause havoc on Earth in 2012. This date coincides with yet another doomsday predicted event in 2012 with the end of the current Mayan calendar.

Don’t be fooled by this hoax. There are two explanations that the hoaxers claim is the reason why proof for Nibiru is non-existent. The first is that every profession and armature is somehow in a conspiracy to keep its presence a secret. The other is that it is on the other side of the Sun. The first reason doesn’t even warrant a reply. I can’t explain why it is that we did not see Nibiru when we where on the same side of the Sun as the planet 6 months ago.


Hello!

I am not sure in which direction this site will go. Welcome on the ride.
