The Most Astounding Fact (Neil DeGrasse Tyson) [VIDEO]

Before I start, I just want to mention that this is my 200th post on this blog.  I am so amazed, happy and thankful for the support I have been receiving with this blog.  It’s been almost 2 years since I created this, and I have just seen positive things come from it.  Follow us, by clicking the link above (if you have a WordPress account), or subscribe to us via email.  Every little thing counts, and just a reminder.  This is just the beginning!

I wanted to include this video on my 200th post, because this video is about life.  Not just human life, but life in general.  It is about the universe, the organisms that make up the universe, and everything else that we may not see or believe.  I thought this video was truly astonishing, and was beautifully made.

Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, “What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?” This is his answer.

YouTube Armchair Astronaut Discovers Object On Mars

Biostation Alpha

This could be the most important discovery on Mars yet! This structure is 700′ x 150′, and is colored white with blue and red stripes against the red Martian soil. This is not a rock or mountain. It is a manufactured structure. This is not something that I created, this is something that is currently on Google Mars. NASA wont talk to me about it. I’ve sent them a few emails, and no reply. Go see for yourself. The coordinates are: 71 49’19.73″N 29 33’06.53″W – says armchair astronaut David Martines, who discovered a white object on the planet Mars by using Google Mars.  As of Monday night the video posted by Martines had gotten nearly 1.2 million hits. Martines says he noticed the white image which looks like a structure while zooming in and out of Google Mars, a feature offered by Google, similar to Google Earth.  “This is not a conspiracy, this is something that you can actually go to Google Mars and you can see this on their map” says Martines.  Martines calls the apparent structure, Biostation Alpha but planetary geologist Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona says not so fast. McEwen thinks Biostation Alpha is simply a glitch in the image caused by cosmic energy interfering with the camera.  McEwen says, “with space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it’s very common to see these cosmic ray hits.”
