16,000 year evolution 🌌 A computer simulation shows a turbulent molecular cloud and rotating disk of dense gas around a young star. Under the force of gravity, the disk collapses, forming spiral arms and clumps, which could result in the formation of planets or brown dwarfs.

It's Black Hole Friday! This computer simulation shows a gas cloud encountering two supermassive black holes. As gravitational and frictional forces meet, the cloud condenses and heats. Each time the black holes orbit, some of the gas is ejected. Learn how scientists use data like this to improve their observations and understanding of cosmic systems:

Planets form in swirling, dusty disks around newborn stars. It's not just a theory--we can watch it happening! These images show the rotating disk around star AB Aurigae, 520 light years from Earth. They were taking over 4 years at Paranal Observatory.

This animation shows the binary black hole system of OJ 287. Every 12 years, the smaller black hole punches through the accretion disk of the larger black hole and results in a flash of light that is over a trillion times brighter than the sun. By KFRMAN

Breaking: Hubble Telescope Opens a "Window" into the Dark Universe — First-Ever Detection of a Starless Dark Matter Cloud! In a groundbreaking discovery announced by NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed an entirely new class of cosmic object: a vast, starless cloud dominated by dark matter, rich in gas but completely devoid of stars. Nicknamed Cloud-9, this enigmatic structure lies about 14 million light-years away, on the outskirts of the spiral galaxy Messier 94 (M94).This is the first confirmed observation of such a "failed galaxy" or relic from the early universe — a massive dark matter halo that gathered hydrogen gas but never triggered star formation. Hubble's deep imaging ruled out any hidden faint stars, confirming it's truly dark and star-free.Key highlights from the discovery:Massive dark matter core — estimated at around 5 billion solar masses, anchoring a compact reservoir of gas. A cosmic fossil — likely a survivor from the universe's infancy, halted during reionization (when the first stars and galaxies lit up and ionized surrounding gas). Implications — This "phantom" object provides direct evidence for the existence of low-mass dark matter halos that never evolved into full galaxies. It suggests the universe could be filled with similar invisible structures, offering a major boost to our understanding of dark matter and galaxy formation. For decades, theorists predicted these "dark galaxies" or RELHICs (Reionization-Limited Hydrogen Clouds), but Cloud-9 marks the first solid proof caught in the act.Scientists are buzzing — this rare "wow" moment could rewrite parts of cosmic history and hint at countless other hidden building blocks of the universe lurking in the shadows.(Source: NASA/ESA Hubble release, January

The wheel within the wheel, or the thrones, represents the movement of the heavens and the zodiac signs. In the precession of the equinoxes, the twelve zodiac constellations move backward, while in the regular year they move forward. It represents the passage of time within the material illusion during the evolution of the soul. There are additional wheels connected to the movement of the Earth around the Sun and the motion of the planets.

Laminar flow is a type of fluid (liquid or gas) movement where the flow is smooth, consistent, and occurs in parallel layers with no disruption between them. It contrasts with turbulent flow, which is chaotic and irregular.

Here’s what it looks like injecting a cervical herniated disk with stem cells. This poor lady had 4 severe disk herniations in her neck. This case was special where we also put a product called ViaDisk as well. Which is dehydrated cadaver disk that is reconstituted and injected directly into the disk. We have an Interventional Spine specialist come in to do these (I don’t inject spine).
