Evidence Of A Planet Forming?
sciencedaily.com — Astrophysicists have a new window into the formation of planets. Ben R. Oppenheimer, Assistant Curator in the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, and colleagues have imaged a structure within the disk of material coalescing from the gas and dust cloud surrounding a well-studied star, AB Aurigae.

- ennTOXX, on 03/27/2008, -2/+10Nice digg. This kind of stuff is fascinating... :||
- ghank, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Agreed. Isn't it a nice change of pace from reading about dads microwaving babies, cops tazering the disabled, and anything about politics?
- deviouskoopa, on 03/27/2008, -5/+7Wow what a cool picture oh my god it's THE EYE OF SAURON
- rodrigo74, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Er. No.
- Testiculese, on 03/27/2008, -1/+12Do I see a Starbucks sign already?
- diggrific, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5Cool, I have a coupon!
- weeeezzll, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3Anyone who can stand at the Starbuck's counter and order a drink using the long string of terms required to describe it is far too pretentious to use coupons.
- LOVEANDEQUALITY, on 03/27/2008, -1/+0NO JUST A MAC DONNALDS!
- diggrific, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5Cool, I have a coupon!
- Persian5Life, on 03/27/2008, -14/+3wow this is interesting! i thought god made the world in seven days? i know that is true because the bible tells me so.
- diggrific, on 03/27/2008, -4/+14Christians aren't here to push their agenda. You were the one to bring up religion first. Stick to the science and leave your bible bashing out of it.
- weeeezzll, on 03/27/2008, -6/+1Science bashes the Bible simply by being...it flies in the face of the ignorance that the Bible teaches every step of the way...
"Christians aren't here to push their agenda."
No they are too busy pushing their agenda to the politician to make their beliefs law.- diggrific, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4The common complaint is that Christians enter the threads and post religious comments. They are told to stay out and shut up, and only talk about the science topic and leave religion out of it. Sounds fine to me.
So on the flip side, is it possible for you and Persian5life to only talk about the science and leave the religious bashing out of it? A "fundie" didn't comment in this thread, yet here you two are bashing religion with nothing to add to the science discussion.

- LOVEANDEQUALITY, on 03/27/2008, -3/+0SCIENCE= EQUALITY !

- Pissoff, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Meet Persian5Life, Persian5Life likes to post whiny comments about religion in science discussions.
Toughen the ***** up Persian5Life! - Jeffler, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2If you're going to bitch about creationists coming in and yelling, don't ***** start the damn *****!
- MrSidnet, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1actually it says it was created in 6. what version do you have?

- mile, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Yea, like this stuff happens overnight. Instant gratification to the n-th degree.
- piccard, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Galactus approves
- xsecretfiles, on 03/27/2008, -12/+2I bet God is creating it!
- LOVEANDEQUALITY, on 03/27/2008, -2/+0NO is just a process of nature!
- superzulu, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2The interesting thing is that the planet has probably already formed. It will just take a few billion years for us to see its current state.
- dfdub, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3The light from that photo is less than 500 years old... not a few billion.
- BooostedAWD, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1From a distance, I thought it was the red ring of death, and it reminded me to give my 360 a break.
- weeeezzll, on 03/27/2008, -2/+4Science rules!!!
- zadadka, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Relatively close, at 470 light years away ....it would take just over 300 billion years to get there at Space Shuttle speeds....if we set off now, it should be ready to settle on !?!
- Pissoff, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Maybe we send a high speed probe filled with bacteria now, it should help things along.
- staffa, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2300 billion years, the star would have expanded into a red giant and died of old age after about 20 billion years.
- zadadka, on 04/02/2008, -0/+1Good point !
- yujie, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2So when do we invade for WMDS and/or Anti-matter?
- LOVEANDEQUALITY, on 03/27/2008, -3/+0SCIENCE IS THE BEST!
- Deveak, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1One step closer to understanding how to create a planet. Anyone else think an artificial planet would be awesome?
terraforming ftw!
