The “Oldest Galaxy Ever” has been found, raises questions about the Universe

Wow

I love when people far, far, far more intelligent than me are confounded. Like these astrophysicists who have found the “oldest galaxy ever”, with an age “only” half a billion years younger than the Universe itself.

The deepest into space.

I’m kind of skeptical that this is actually the furthest we’ve seen into space. You know? I ain’t taking anything away from you, Hubble. You’re wonderful. I just suspect that such a news story is laden with unspoken caveats up the ass. But whatever. Let’s just appreciate the beauty together. Hold my hand. Hold it!

Don’t let them tell you it’s all been done, it’s all been found. You know, them. The Man. ‘Cause we’re finding new sorts of ass-puckering goodies throughout the cosmos all the damn time. The latest find (or rather the latest one I’ve read about) is a new kind of space object.

HUBBLE FINDS BLUE-PLANET that RAINS GLASS. Sounds rough. Count me out.

Rains glass. FUCKING GLASS.

Here is a hell of a fucking find. The Hubble Telescope has uncovered a nice blue planet! We love Blue Planets, right?! Slow your roll, holmes. What if I told you that this planet also had 4,500 mile-per-hour winds? And rained glass? Yeah, I’m canceling my flight too.

RIDICULOUS: Hubble’s infrared image of the HORSEHEAD NEBULA.

Swoon.

I say goddamn! The Hubble has snapped an image of the rather well-known Horsehead Nebula. However, this picture ain’t like the one you’ve probably seen. This one is even more fucking gorgeous.

Hubble breaks record for FURTHEST SUPERNOVA ever detected.

Hubble Boom Boom!

Hubble has broken its previous record for the furthest supernova explosion ever detected. It’s like, really, really, really far away. Would probably take Superman like three or four days to get there. (And he’s faster than the Flash.)
