There is no reason for Bad Astronomy to respond to such lunacy as you would just think they were following new world orders.
Everything about it would be bad says Mark Hammergren an astronomer at Adler Planetarium in Chicago beginning with your attempt to scoop it up.
Then again Pavich notes a lot of what came out of the big bang was essentially dust which then condensed to form the stars and later on planets.
and says astronomy professor Eric Blackman of the University of Rochester people could continue harnessing volcanic heat for hundreds of years.

hydrogenfor astrophysicists the interplay of hydrogen--the most common molecule in the universe--and the vast clouds of dust that fill the voids of interstellar space has been an intractable puzzle of stellar evolution.
The dust astronomers believe is a key phase in the life cycle of stars which are formed in dusty nurseries throughout the cosmos.
Now an international team of astronomers reports key observations that confirm a theory devised by University of Wisconsin-Madison astrophysicist Alexandre Lazarian and Wisconsin graduate student Thiem Hoang.

#Interstellar winds buffeting our solar system have shifted directionscientists including University of New hampshire astrophysicists involved in NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission have discovered that the particles streaming into the solar system from interstellar space have changed likely direction over the last 40 years.
For example scientists have struggled to explain how different concentrations of melittin could yield such dramatically different effects said Huang Rice's Sam and Helen Worden Professor of Physics and Astronomy.
research showsit might be easier than previously thought for a planet to overheat into the scorchingly uninhabitable runaway greenhouse stage according to new research by astronomers at the University of Washington and the University of Victoria published July 28 in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Revisiting this classic planetary science scenario with new computer modeling the astronomers found a lower thermal radiation threshold for the runaway greenhouse process meaning that stage may be easier to initiate than had been thought previously.
The habitable zone becomes much narrower in the sense that you can no longer get as close to the star as we thought before going into a runaway greenhouse said Tyler Robinson a UW astronomy postdoctoral researcher and second author on the paper.
Subsequent research the astronomers say is needed in part because their computer modeling was done in a single-column clear-sky model
Still it inspired the astronomers to write As the solar constant increases with time Earth's future is analogous to Venus's past.

Rather than finding all of the glowing dust in a doughnut-shaped torus around the black hole as expected the astronomers find that much of it is located above and below the torus.
Over the last twenty years astronomers have found that almost all galaxies have a huge black hole at their centre.
But new observations of a nearby active galaxy called NGC 3783 harnessing the power of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile 2 have given a team of astronomers a surprise.
In order to investigate the central regions of NGC 3783 the astronomers needed to use the combined power of the Unit Telescopes of ESO's Very Large Telescope.

The findings could advance the search for a new fundamental force in nature that could explain why the Big bang created more matter than antimatter--a pivotal imbalance in the history of everything.
If equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created at the Big bang everything would have annihilated and there would be no galaxies stars planets
This technique for studying the stars--sometimes called astronomy in the lab--gives scientists information that cannot be obtained by the traditional techniques of astronomy such as telescope observations or computer modeling.

Reionization occurred a few hundred million years after the Big bang as the first stars were turning on
There's been a push to find some galaxies that show signs of radiation escaping said Anne Jaskot a doctoral student in astronomy.
Jaskot and Sally Oey an associate professor of astronomy in the College of Literature Science and the Arts have found that the Green peas could hold that evidence.
which are between one billion and five billion light years away. They studied their emission lines as observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
and in this case they helped the astronomers understand the relationship between the stars and gas in these galaxies.
Jaskot says the Green peas are exciting candidates to help astronomers understand a major milestone in the development of the cosmos 13 billion years ago.

#Hunt for distant planets intensifieswhen astronomers discovered planet GJ 1214b circling a star more than 47 light-years from Earth in 2009 their data presented two possibilities.
Along came Jacob Bean now an assistant professor in astronomy & astrophysics at the University of Chicago who used a new method called multi-object spectroscopy to analyze the planet s atmosphere from large ground-based telescopes.
Aided by technology Bean and his colleagues are surmounting the challenge of inferring the atmospheric composition of planets that were invisible to humans just a few years ago.#
and is now a growing component of UCHICAGO s research agenda in astronomy. One estimate published in January calculated that our Milky way galaxy alone contains at least 17 billion Earth-sized planets with a vast potential for life-sustaining worlds.
Pursuing the exoplanet search via complementary methods are Bean and Daniel Fabrycky another assistant professor in astronomy & astrophysics.
Bean has received a 60-orbit allocation on the Hubble Space Telescope to continue his observations on GJ 1214b a sign of the work s importance.
#oeit s interesting to note that all the instruments astronomers have used to study exoplanet atmospheres so far were designed never for that#Bean said.#
#If GJ 1214b is a water world#oeit would be very different than anything in our own solar system#said Harvard university astronomy Professor David Charbonneau whose team discovered the planet.
One major push along that front was the $600-million Kepler mission launched in 2009.
#A Kepler research veteran Fabrycky began his UCHICAGO faculty appointment last October. Fabrycky precisely measures the timing of transits the mini eclipses that planets cause as they pass in front of their stars.
So far Kepler has confirmed 105 planet discoveries to its credit and has identified 2740 planet candidates.
As a postdoctoral scientist at the University of California Santa cruz two years ago Fabrycky was a member of a team that discovered six planets orbiting a single star called Kepler-11.#
Bean and his colleagues have made the best observations of planetary atmospheres so far using the Hubble Telescope the Spitzer Space Telescope and in Chile the Very Large Telescope array and the twin Magellan Telescopes.

Course leader Dr Mervyn Roy a lecturer at the University's Department of physics and Astronomy said:
The discovery by astronomers at the University of California Berkeley and Clarion University in Pennsylvania of six likely comets around distant stars suggests that comets--dubbed exocomets--are just as common in other stellar systems with planets.
and dust#a signature of exoplanets--makes it highly likely they all do said Barry Welsh a research astronomer at UC Berkeley's Space sciences Laboratory.
In 2009 astronomers found a large planet around Î-Pic about 10 times larger than Jupiter.
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have discovered that filaments of star-forming gas near the Orion Nebula may be brimming with pebble-size particles--planetary building blocks 100
The large dust grains seen by the GBT would suggest that at least some protostars may arise in a more nurturing environment for planets said Scott Schnee an astronomer with the National Radio astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville Virginia.
Astronomers speculate that in the next 100000 to 1 million years this area will likely evolve into a new star cluster.
Based on earlier maps of this region made with the IRAM 30 meter radio telescope in Spain the astronomers expected to find a certain brightness to the dust emission
Rather than typical interstellar dust these researchers appear to have detected vast streamers of gravel--essentially a long and winding road in space said NRAO astronomer Jay Lockman who was involved not in these observations.
and there could be other explanations for the bright signature we detected in the emission from the Orion Molecular Cloud concluded Brian Mason an astronomer at the NRAO
Since it contains one of the highest concentrations of protostars of any nearby molecular cloud it will continue to excite the curiosity of astronomers.

The Battle took place in 217 B c. between Ptolemy IV the King of Egypt and Antiochus III the Great the King of the Seleucid kingdom that reached from modern-day Turkey to Pakistan.
According to historical records Antiochus's ancestor traded vast areas of land for 500 Asian elephants whereas Ptolemy established trading posts for war elephants in what is now Eritrea a country with the northernmost population of elephants
In the Battle of Raphia Ptolemy had 73 African war elephants and Antiochus had 102 Asian war elephants according to Polybius a Greek historian who described the battle at least 70 years later.
A few of Ptolemy's elephants ventured too close with those of the enemy and now the men in the towers on the back of these beasts made a gallant fight of it striking with their pikes at close quarters
Ptolemy's elephants however declined the combat as is the habit of African elephants; for unable to stand the smell
In 1948 Sir William Gowers reasoned that Ptolemy must have fought with forest elephants that fled from larger Asian elephants as Polybius described.
Did Ptolemy employ African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) or African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in the Battle or Raphia?
