A Star with a Comet's Tail →
An older article, but I had never heard of this.  Mira, a dying star, is hurtling through space at 291,000mph, with a comet-like tail that is 13 light-years long.  How long is 13 light-years?  Why, it’s “about 20,000 times the average distance of Pluto from the sun”.

JPMorgan Chase posts better-than-expected profit →

Think Free
This is the blog of a freethinker.  I will post articles, clips, and thoughts about things I am most concerned about; science, government, and religion.  By no means do I wish to offend anybody.  This is the way I think, this is what I believe in, and I respect if you believe differently.
