APOD: 2026 January 6 – Jupiters Clouds in High Definition from Juno

Sgt (Join to see) - Hey Kerry, have you seen the articles about "Cloud Nine" the Failed Galaxy that might shed light on Dark Matter. Not a single star in a "cloud" of gas with 50 billion suns worth of mass. Man that JWT just keeps busting our imagination.

News to me! Very interesting. That is something I need to learn more about!
Guessing some of that is ionized liquid hydrogen that might be considered plasma which moves and behaves like a fluid.

SGT Mary G. - Very Astute observation there Sarge. Spot on, not quite a plasma, I don't think, Just the exotic metallic forms of hydrogen capable under those pressures and temperatures. I swear if I was young again, I might go to School to learn about the early universe...and atomic chemistry. I mean just a neutron star - and what it would consider "matter" would be mind boggling to study. If you could make a suit of Armor out of Netron star material, it would be on atom thick, and noting on Earth could penetrate it. What would it be like to be able to forge, fabricate, of fashion those kinds of "matter' into things that work. Sheesh.

SGT Kevin Hughes - Yup. Wish it would have been possible to get interested earlier, for sure. Consider - most of what we can all still learn these days is relatively new, and not even imagined decades ago. I guess there is a reason for learning it later in life, because of not learning information that was basically wrong, compared to what technology has provided for in the past several decades!

I know what you mean, Awe and physical reactions!
