    Swiss astronomer, was the first to suspect the existence of dark matter in 1933. He was trying to measure the mass of a galactic cluster (a group of several galaxies) using two different methods. He tried to infer this mass from the speed of the galaxies. Just like kids on a merry-go-round have to hold on to avoid being ejected, galaxies are held together in a spinning galactic cluster by the gravitational force provided by the matter it contains. If there were not enough matter to create this force

    Upon securing victory in Japan, whatever relief the American people felt from winning WWII was tempered by the realization that science had just created a weapon that could wipe nations off the face of the earth.

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, which means it spiral out from the middle. The first and most obvious thing to talk about is how it was formed. It began as an oversized mass left behind after the big bang. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened

    We deal with conflict everyday. Whether it is a kid at school that you just can't stand, or a family member. Heck, it may even be a random stranger at the store and he took the last LEGO set that you wanted. Whoever it is with it is still conflict. And when you get conflicted, you don't handle it too well (don't lie to yourself, everybody does it). When people are angry at one another, they want to show that they’re mad. This doesn't just happen in real life though. Conflict and reactions

    sun, a mere 8 light MINUTES away! Quasars are in the centres of galaxies. Such galactic centres are called active galactic nuclei. The bolt of their energy, spewing forth in the form of a powerful radiation jet, the length of which, puts even our entire solar system to shame! Specifically, if a large portion of this ejected energy heads towards earth, it is known as a quasar. But if earth is in the active galactic nucleus’ sight, it has an even more spine-chilling name, a blazar. And its blazar
