- mashw, on 01/13/2008, -0/+5What a terrible description, put the thesaurus away and describe the article.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 01/13/2008, -2/+6Too bad the future of our people won't be able to. Nobody realizes just how much even the slightest amount of light can dilute the sky. Light pollution is out of control. We need to get tougher laws regulating outdoor lighting. Yes you Paulites, I said laws. The government needs to provide the incentive for better lighting, because no person or architect is going to do it themselves.
As an amateur stargazer, thats my $0.02. - Dundasbro, on 01/13/2008, -2/+5Wow, you write words that don't exist, you say first and you insult the story that is being dugg. Something tells me you may get dugg down into oblivion for that trifecta.

- j4200, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Dark matter is what is found to exist due to einstiens special theory of relativity. In order for the universe to be held together, there is something huge there producing gravity and we can't see it. As far as we know, matter is all that exists. We can't see this matter that is there though, so we call it dark. It's simply a name for an unknown. It's fact that there is something there doing something, but what that is we haven't figured out yet. Scientists are trying to find that.

- j4200, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Whats worse, unsafe conditions during nighttime inside of cities or lazy 'stargazers' (astronomers would know better) not being able to see adromeda with their my first telescope set from walmart?
Drive to the boons. I've seen the milky way brighter than you'll ever know only 3 hours out of town at my parents place. - st3vo, on 01/13/2008, -1/+2The reality is that they start out as Luma. After being fed a numerous amount of star bits, they finally become a galaxy.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1I hope you get sucked into a black square.
"It's like a black hole, but it ***** with your ***** WITH GEOMETRY. Imagine being transformed into a trapezoid, square or rhombus, and then being sucked into oblivion. Welcome to the black square my friend."

- skinturtle, on 01/13/2008, -0/+0Its funny,... a few months ago I read an article here that stated scientists were skeptical about the existence of dark matter. They still have never proven it exists (using science's logic - only believe what we can see) but yet they go right ahead and come out with these reports that ignore all that and just include it in there anyway as truth.
"Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe's mass."..Really?..I just love how they say it like that as if it's written in book, proven tested in a test-tube fact....Interesting.
The science community is just as bad the religious one in many cases. - siwasher, on 01/13/2008, -1/+1The word "belie" means to misrepresent, or picture falsely. So the first sentence of the article says "you could be forgiven for believing that the sedate progress of the stars across the firmament misrepresents the serene nature of galaxies." And according to the article, you would be right.

- echofactor, on 01/13/2008, -6/+1We all know that dark matter is an excrement of Niblonians.
This article is largely inaccurate. - xb0xterr0rist, on 01/13/2008, -21/+4Wut wut first comment, btw this story sucks
