Baryon business as usual

Post by Granitehewer »

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chand ... 2-331.html

Astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to find evidence our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded in an enormous halo of hot gas that extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. The estimated mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the galaxy.

If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it also could be an explanation for what is known as the "missing baryon" problem for the galaxy.

Sorry moderators, I forgot that there was a Science thread!

No worries. *abracadabra*

All the Moderators have to strip naked, cover ourselves is mud and chant around a fire pit. Or at least thats the way the Kennedys taught us...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That's what you get for not reading the fine print.
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...
