Reps: 22 (power: 0) | | | I love astronomy. I don't have a telescope or anything but I love reading about it. Black holes, nebulas, neutron stars dwarf stars (all different colors) dark matter, dark energy and everything else. I love it. I did my senior project on dark matter and that was awesome. I sometimes just sit halfway hanging out of my window (which can be kind of scary because I am on the second story in my house) and stare up at the stars for hours. It is my dream to be able to travel out there, not like to the moon or anything, but into deep space. I just want to know what is out there, like if God made other planets with people on them and what not. Our universe is so huge, and we haven't even gone out of our solar system yet. I know it probably wont be possible but traveling to other galaxies is my all time dream. Just looking up at night blows my mind and give me a greater appriciation of just what God can do! |

Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet by a rigged vote and some think earth had two moons at one time.

To what? the version that scientists think the Bible describes it? I don't think so.
