This video explains how particles originating from deep inside the core of the sun creates northern lights, also called aurora borealis, on our planet.
odd things and some links. i have a passion for the truth not inventions of the truth, and a desire to change, not just live. i'll blog mostly about music, health, space, and other random topics. i also love web development.

There are two possible explanations for this 'slingshot' in space: kickback by a triple black hole system, or the effects of gravitational waves produced after two supermassive black holes merged a few million years earlier.
The discovery of this object comes from a large, multi-wavelength survey, known as the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). This survey includes data from Chandra, HST, XMM- Newton, as well as ground-based observatories. Of the 2,600 X-ray sources found in COSMOS, only one -- named CID-42 and located in a galaxy about 3.9 billion light years away -- coincides with two very close, compact optical sources.
