But briefly, it's a Black Hole, and a combination of microwave and visible wavelengths. Truly beautiful. It's stuff like this that keeps me going.
Thank you, Astronomy.

Ballet and Black Holes! C'mon, you're teasing me here! Two great loves of mine. Both so majestcally incomprehensible to the untrained eye, yet you only realise the true and absolute beauty when you understand the inner workings. Being a ballet dancer since the age of two I think I've almost mastered it but yet have to delve into the beauty of black holes.
I understand physics, as you do as an engineer, but I will never understand how you ballet dancers support the human body weight on your toes. It must be an inertia thing, but, that has GOT to hurt! Or does practice make perfect? Seems quite painful.
The beauty of black holes is easy to understand. Just look at the picture. ;-)
To the person trying to use my weblog to sell your frigging Viagra home-based business products, which I and my readers are at least 10 years away from needing:
I don't know how far a person has to fall in life to do what you do, but I sincerely hope you seek the advice of a professional mental health professional (as opposed to a quack) to stop abusing others, starting with yourself. Or perhaps you're a Machiavellian like the Bushes in which case these words will fall on deaf ears.
But whatever you are and whatever you do, would you please, pretty please with sugar on it, STOP FRIGGING POSTING ON MY WEBLOG !!!!
I really don't like using bad language, but in your case I'll make an exception.
I have and will delete every comment you make, which is annoying because as difficult it may be for you to believe and unlike you, I actually have a life and have much better things to do, you friggin annoyance, you. Go bother somebody else.
And last and not least and in fact first I repeat the most important advice you will ever hear from me or anyone else (and for which i expect a thanks and apology someday, which I will give if I deem it sincere):
GET HELP. Now. Today. It's for your own good.
Awww, why do even waste my time ....
