Post things that interest you the most about space. Mine would have to be pulsars. These objects are a type of neutron star but what makes them different than other neutron stars is that they emit massive amounts of electromagnetic radiation and have enormous rotational speeds. They get their name from their periodic and sporadic "pulses" that they emit. Astronomers also use them to measure time, and some pulsars are more accurate than the best atomic clocks that we know of here on Earth.

Wondering if I could travel somewhere and stumble across life.

Big bang Bing proved false. Allows for parallel universes
-
Never ending, endless space [¬_¬]

One of my favorite things about space is that a tea spoon sized chunk of a neutron/pulsar star, has enough density to weigh in over millions of tons of earth
-
The idea of colonizing the Solar System.
-
Exploration in general.

Edited by heisenbrrg: 8/12/2015 10:55:40 PMI love how mysterious black holes are. Nobody knows what's inside them and we'll never know because we'll have to go beyond the event horizon which is the point of no return. They warp the light behind them making the area look insane.

Edited by ALoafOfBagels: 8/12/2015 10:43:18 PMI know this is really basic, especially with the space geek I am (next year I'm set for MIT!) but I love Nebulae. (Nebulas) they're so beautiful, I mean you can look at them all day. And if you get old of the one you're looking at, then look at a different one. But I love them so much because it shows both the beauty and complexity of space. Edit-My favorite is the Cat's Eye Nebula for those who are curious

Pulsars aren't exactly different from Neutron Stars, just the way we observe them.
-
Mars colony living isn't coming as soon as people think the trip to Mars would expose astronauts to so much radiation(about 1000 full body CAT scans) that they would probably be dead before they arrive :/ So either we build spacecrafts that can block the radiation or build one that can travel faster.

Terra forming

I would like to know if a planet is acceptable for having habitat in time. Based on the oxygen ground and chemical mixture made to each planet. You never know anything is possible.

Black holes are weird. So are a few Exoplanets
-
I like spaceships and rockets, new planets, space exploration everything, The fact we can build and design craft that can explore planets is cool HYPE MARS MISSION
-
Pulsars for me and black holes
