The late Carl Sagan got lots of praise for his brilliance in explaining
science to the masses, especially on his PBS TV series Cosmos back in
the 1980s. But he also got teased unmercifully for the super-geeky way
he said �billions� � and given the subject matter, he said it a lot. The
universe is billions of years old, and billions of light-years across,
and contains a hundred billion galaxies, each containing a hundred
billion stars�and Sagan got his teeth into every �billion� he could find.

Which is why he would be at something of a loss talking about a new
report in The Astrophysical Journal describing the least massive galaxy
every found. Known as Segue 2, it contains just 1,000 or so stars, and
while this puny object, like most galaxies, is somewhat bulked up with
invisible dark matter, that only adds another 100,000 stars� worth.
There�s not a billion to be found, unless you start weighing the stars
and dark matter in pounds. �Finding a galaxy as tiny as Segue 2,� says
co-author James Bullock, of the University of California, Irvine, �is
like discovering an elephant smaller than a mouse.�

But it�s also very different. A mouse-sized elephant is the last thing
you�d ever go looking for; a galaxy this tiny, by contrast, is something
astronomers have long sought. The reason: it�s firmly established by now
that most of the mass in the universe comes in the form of dark matter,
not stars. The leading candidate for what makes up the dark matter is
some sort of still-undiscovered subatomic particle. And computer models
suggest that while these particles should coalesce into gigantic blobs
or haloes that surround normal galaxies, they should also form into
thousands of much smaller clumps, buzzing around galactic fringes.

Those smaller clumps would have their own tiny retinue of stars as well
� and in 2006, astronomers finally found an example. Called Segue 1 (it
was discovered by the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and
Exploration, or SEGUE, an offshoot of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey) it
had a mere 300 or so stars, but its dark matter component was equivalent
to about 600,000 stars � small, but not as small as what astronomers
were hoping to find.

Then, in 2009, the SEGUE survey snagged a true pipsqueak: Segue 2 has
three times the star count as its brother, but only one-sixth the dark
matter � right in the ballpark of what theory says should be there.
�It�s quite encouraging,� says Kirby.

Maybe, but it�s reasonable to wonder why you�d give a tiny thing like
this a grandiose name such as �galaxy.� Why not just call it a star
cluster? The answer, says lead author Evan Kirby, also at Irvine: a
galaxy is defined as a system of stars that can enrich its own chemical
composition. What that means is that the earliest stars were made almost
entirely of hydrogen and helium. Those atoms were forged into heavier
elements in the stars� cores, and eventually blown out into space at
high velocity in supernova explosions. The heavier elements, known as
�metals,� then became incorporated into the next generation of stars (in
astronomy jargon, iron and aluminum are metals, but so are oxygen and
carbon).

In a star cluster like the Pleiades, there isn�t enough gravity to keep
those metals from flying away; in a galaxy, there is � and that gravity
can come from either stars or dark matter, doesn�t matter which. Kirby
and his team used the powerful Keck II telescope, in Hawaii, to measure
the metal content of the stars in Segue 2, and found that they vary a
lot. That�s evidence that some stars are younger, some older, and that
the metals have stayed put. Puny or not, Segue 2 is a galaxy. It�s also
likely not to be the only one of its kind. �We think there are lots
more,� says Kirby.

Unfortunately, those junior members of the galactic corps might not be
easy to find. Spotting very dim collections of stars on the fringe of
the Milky Way isn�t incredibly hard, but probing their light for
evidence of metal composition, and measuring their orbital speeds as an
indirect method of weighing their dark matter, is. The Keck II armed
with an instrument called the DEIMOS spectrograph � among the world�s
most powerful systems for doing this kind of work � can just manage it.

At this point, says Bullock, there�s no set of instruments, either in
existence or on the drawing board, that could do a lot better. �Right
now,� he says, �we�re thinking of what it would take.� Once the
astronomers come up with something though, they�re betting that the
little galaxies will be out there waiting.

Carl Sagan was a paid political science bullshitter just as you are HVAC.
He was a propagandists who "they" put on TV to make sure speculation
never turned to "forbidden" areas just as you do Harlow. You are both
lying assholes. Well "was" in Sagan's case.

Carl Sagan was a man ahead of his time. He inspired me and an entire
generation of young people to enter a science based career.

His book, 'The Dragons Of Eden, speculation on the evolution of human
intelligence' is a book that made people think logically.

Sure. He turned science into politics long before anyone started doing
that. And obviously inspired you to become a "strategic writer" doing
propaganda work for those in power. Glad he inspired you to enter a
"science based" career (That's like calling journalism a "science-based
career", isn't it.

He was a major liar and even worse, he KNEW he was lying and did it on
purpose to fool the public, no wonder he's your hero! Yeah I'll have to
read his bullshit if I ever need to take a break from wine, women and

Sagan was a political spokesman of all the "plausible" stories that
everyone is supposed to believe and "debunker" of all the "forbidden"
topics that everyone is supposed to assume are hoaxes. He lied about them
all and I say lied because a quick peek at his career shows he was aware
of MUCH more than he ever pretended to know. For example his "billions
and billions and yet promoted the idea that outside of humans well, maybe
there was an outside chance that just maybe there was a bacteria that
evolved somewhere among all those billions and billions of stars. Right.
Outside chance.

> What about the old TV

You bet Nova is disinformation and offensive to science. All they are is
a propaganda organ for establishment "pluasible" science stories which
they always present not as science but rather disingenuously as "facts"
when they are no such thing! Just listen to those NPR clowns on "climate
change" (formerly called "global warming" before it stopped) and you'll
see they are nothing but a huge propaganda machine no different from
Scientific American, Physics Today, Sam Wormley and all the rest who try
to use the public's repect for science to lie to them and fool them.
Shameful exhibition!

> The plaque on Voyager, which was his idea

Who did he expect to read it? Maybe some developed bacteria amongst the
billions and billions of planets?

All you need Hagar is some facts. You need to find out what is true and
what is bullshit. I'm sure I don't need to tell you if it's got politics
involved it's pretty certain it's bullshit.

People DO pay me for my opinion. How about yours?

Prostituted means changed that which your science views as truth to some
political opinion convenient for those in power. In other words not paid
to tell what you know but rather paid to pretend you know what they tell
you to say Capish?

So your idea is that Wormley's "minute physics" cartoons with all their
errors, bad science and breathless "coulds" and "mays" and "mights" is
real true science by "experts"? Expert actors...Nah not even that.
Pretend experts and second rate actors. At least Sagan was a first rate
actor!

Well, HVAC pretends to know science but I've never seen him demonstrate
ANY actual scientific knowledge. He comes off as some Antioch College
grad trying to dredge up enough of his old science classes to get by and
fool the gullible. On the other hand his writing skills are quite good
and his job here is obviously to disrupt all reasonable conversation and
debate, to change the subject as much as he can to steer discussions AWAY
from any "forbidden" topics or speculations on them. He typically uses
lewd and vulgar sexual comments to try to make the group as toxic as
possible to young people so that they don't hear of any "forbidden"
topics even existing let alone any information on them. If some one
suggests that a certain "forbidden topic" needs review he simply calls
them "insane" to ridicule them and hopefully discourage anyone else with
any information from joining the discussion. He lies about everyone and
everything and when caught in his own lies just laughs it off. My guess
he's got a government USENET terminal and about 17 "personalities" where
he does the same job in many groups.

In short, Hagar, HVAC like Carl Sagan are PROS. They know exactly what
they are doing and they are VERY good at it. And that thing is pulling
the wool over the eyes of gullible naive dumbed-down Sheeple.

You are a pretty smart guy Hagar. You should be smart enough to figure
out you've been played for a sucker all these years! The information is
NOT secret. HVAC will squeal like a stuck pig if you bring up any proof
and he will deny it like his life depends on it, but you you can easily
prove to yourself it's just a game he's playing. Why would you give any
credibility to some anonymous internet left wing voice anyway? Why would
you believe ANYONE here (including me)? Are you STOOOPID? That's like
believing the major media actually report factual news. It's not their
job.

WAKE THE HELL UP, HAGAR!

*** Don't know how that is funny in view of the fact that in the late 70s
and
early 80s it was "Global Cooling" complete with scare tactics of the coming
ice age, which than morphed into Global Warming. But when the much
bally-hooed "hockey-stick" failed to materialize, it was quietly changed to
"Climate Change", at the behest of the enviro-whackos. When that didn't
arouse global support for their get-rich-quick carbon tax schemes, the
moniker
was changed to "Climate Disruption", except the "climate" has held pretty
steady for the past ten years. But most telling, whichever name is used,
the
fear-mongers remain the same, the forever wrong and lying IPCC, Al "my
loins are aching" Gore and a host of Liberal nut jobs.

BJ says this because he is a Velikovskyian.

Velikovsky was a total retard quack. Only an utter fool would believe
anything he said.
Sagan schooled him on hid kooky theories.

Oh look! Hagen and BJ are pals now. Since Hagem and Blast are already
good buddies, I suggest you three get together for a little menage e

Look! Now Hagem has made a friend of Brad Goth.

It's a regular fucking love-in here.

You must be so proud, Hagen.

Yeah, Harlow I'm "really" pissed! It's very interesting that nobody here
mentioned Velikovsky but you and now you pretend that everybody else has
been discussing it all along! Great Tradecraft Harlow!

I never claimed to be a CIA or any other type of operative.
Matter of fact, I categorically deny it.

just like all Liberals, when your ilk runs out of intelligent commentary,
it's back to trailer trash, threesomes and any other unsubstantiated

It wouldn't be so bad if there were even one iota of originality
involved, but that would require a modicum of brains, which you
are sorely lacking, since you pathetic fuck are now Copy 'n Pasting

Some of us had, unlike you, a normal upbringing. We didn't have

I enlisted in the Army because I was afraid the war would be over if I
waited. It's that simple.

Perhaps she will in Kick Ass 2 this summer.

Someone finding the plaque a 1 in a thousand trillion long shot,
admittedly. But why waste even that chance? Similar plaques
should be required in all spacecraft bound to leave Earth orbit.
