Do anyone of you receive the email about the Mars Hoax? It’s totally bull shit. Mars will never be as large as Moon from our seeing on Earth. Even the largest seeing is just 1/70th of the Moon.

Today, the sky is expected to be presented with Perseid meteor shower. However, the cloudy sky challenged my luck again. I’m going to try again tomorrow although the peak will be over. I wish I can see some.

I’m sure that some of your know what does DSLR stands for. It’s Digital Single Lens Reflex. Let’s straight into the topic this time.

This farthest galaxy cluster observed from Earth is discovered by astronomers from the U.S., Europe and Chile.
Almost 10 billion light-years from Earth, cluster XMM-XCS 2215-1734 contains hundreds of galaxies surrounded by hot X-ray-emitting gas. The existence of the cluster so early in the history of the universe challenges ideas about how galaxies formed, said lead author Adam Stanford, a research scientist at UC Davis and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
