Internet Awesomeness: We're Baaaack!

[Mik_Hael]

hmm, the actual battle between Michael and Satan was more awesome....too bad you'll vaporize when you try to look at it.

[Zaleramancer]

Ooooooo.

Falling star meets strange land.

There's so much happening in that picture.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 That was not the question.

Does you likes teh pic or not?

[Mik_Hael]

English words cannot describe the epicness, so I'll call it.

Yeollporick.

And Zale, that's not a flaling star, it's some odd winged creature bathed in light falling from the clouds about to face the other winged creature rising from the earth as their armies follow behind them.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Ahem...not falling stars.

But, yeah, I like it. Very cool.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Angels and demons, looks like, though I didn't notice the distinct shapes at first. Still, it is rather, um, yeollporick.

Um, hey, Jester. On a totally unrelated note, why not go define that word down in the RP Section, in the RP Glossary?

[Zaleramancer]

Yes.

I say what I mean and I mean what I say.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Angels are not stars (at least, not as far as I know). Neither are stars angels.

Just making sure you knew.

[Zaleramancer]

Symbols and Metaphors.

And Star is a letter shorter than Angel.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Okay, that's fine. Like I said, just wanted to make sure you knew what I meant. They weren't balls of luminous, flaming gas, and that was all I meant.

And besides, I didn't even notice the forms until Jester noted it. I really just posted it for the abstract awesomeness of the scene.

[Zaleramancer]

I am aware than Angels aren't flaming orbs of gas.

Black holes sing.

It takes a supermassive black hole—like a robust opera diva—to sing a resonant note in space. These monstrous celestial objects range from hundreds of thousands to tens of billions times our sun's mass and are commonly found in the center of active galaxies. For example, Sagittarius A*—a supermassive black hole—sits at the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

Black holes are notorious for their gravitational might, which is so strong that nothing can escape, according to conventional wisdom. But this isn't quite correct—some matter does. A black hole's gravity pulls a mishmash of matter and energy into its surrounding accretion disk—a ringlike structure formed by gas and dust. But some of this matter is violently expelled from the black hole's poles as "relativistic jets." These jets surge into the scorching gas surrounding the hole and generate pockets in the otherwise uniform cloud.

"Sound waves are pressure waves. And black holes, or at least their relativistic jets, can generate enormous sound waves, which then propagate through surrounding galactic gas," explains astronomer Steven Allen, a professor of physics at Stanford University who studies the Perseus galaxy cluster. "When relativistic jets, which contain material moving at close to the speed of light, slam into the hot gas that pervades giant elliptical galaxies and clusters of galaxies, they beat a 'galactic drum,' as it were." The jet acts as the "stick," whereas the surface of the gas is the "drum."

 That the glittering things in the scene were not flaming balls of gas, not that angels are not flaming balls of gas. Duh. What do you think I take you for, a dummy? Of course not.

And on a totally unrelated note:

That is awesome.

BOW BEFORE THE EPIC.

[Zaleramancer]

Black Holes = Space Whales

This only works when there's a cloud of gas though. Not in a vacuum.

It's far too dangerous to go out there alone! Here! Take some of these!
