Moon for sale
Moon is a huge planet and it gives us a light when there is no sun. Though, there is no light that comes from the moon, I mean moon doesn’t radiate light because it is a planet and not a star. And if it is son the light it gives to earth is just a reflection of sun light. Moon is a celestial body just like the Sun and so on and so forth. And if it is a celestial body it means that there is no owner for Moon and there are no such people who can say they have right for it, but for some reason there are people who sell you Moon. Can you image, some tiny humans believe they are powerful and smart enough to have a right for Moon and moreover they believe they can sell it. It is the most ridiculous and the most unbelievable thing about space and celestial bodies. And the most ridiculous thing is that there are people who are ready to buy a piece of Moon. They pay good sum of money for the prospect to get a piece of paper that says they have a land on the Moon…weird creatures. People pay money for nothing because no one can have Moon.
Sky is the limit
I was thinking over this proverb. Well, I know the meaning of it and I know it has nothing to do with sky or something but it is about the highest level people are able to reach. At least that is how I get this proverb. I may be wrong about meaning and you may bring some corrections into it though it is not the meaning I wonder about but about image. People use image of sky in order to show that sky is the greatest limit and they were wrong when have chosen this image. They were wrong because there is no limit of the sky and there is no sky. I mean, what is sky? Do you know what sky is? I don’t and I know that there is space behind sky though I don’t know when sky is over and space starts. I don’t know where this point is and if there is such a point. Space is something we have above us and at the same time it is something we have around us. There are no limits and no boundaries and no points and no other stuff that may identify some material point of space. Space is the hugest something of this world and at the same time there is no space because we can’t tough it or feel it or smell it.

Space
In the sixties, the human race journeyed into the vastness of outer space after sending dogs and monkeys. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and hit a golf ball into that inky darkness. Even since then the human race has been sending up shuttles, building space stations and making plans to explore more of outer space in the hopes of learning, finding life and finding a way to support life on other planets. How wonderful. There are reservations already made for the first commercial trip to the moon.
There more room out there for building, discovering and even more space to send our trash. We have considered cremating our dead and shooting them into space so that our relatives can see their loved ones once a year orbit the planet. Here on the planet that we already occupy, when someone discovers new territory one must immediately claim the land for whatever country they represent. The discovery was not enough, it must be claimed and borders must be defined. It is obvious how the human race will behave once they have a foothold on outer space. It will be a shooting spree in the name of claiming whatever borders each country feels entitled to and if no one can agree then there will just be war.
Once we arrive to build and scheme, we will bring our waste and trash. Maybe once we can figure out how not to destroy this planet we might deserve to venture to outer space. Until then hopefully we stay put.

The youngest planet
Was discovered the youngest planet, which exceeds the size of Jupiter in a few times, but her age is less than the Earth hundreds of times. It is orbiting a star in the constellation TW hydro, whose age is about 8-10 million years old.
Perhaps the opening of a new celestial body will change the perceptions of how the formation of planets. According to one popular theory, they are formed from the center to the surface: the particles of space dust are attracted to each other and form a growing increase in the size of celestial body.
The new planet, a different way: rapid accumulation of dust squeezed under the influence of gravity and formed a dense, but the fragile structure. Scientists using computer models of the planet came to the conclusion that a similar process of formation of celestial bodies can exist in nature.
According to the researchers, the cause of instability congestion could become a young star Tau XZ, which took place not far from the accumulation of about 1600 years ago. The star could hurt congestion, causing his instability and triggered formation of the globe. Planet gave the name of TW Hydra «b», and brought to the class of giants. TW Hydra «b» heavier than Jupiter is about 10 times and is located at a distance of 6 million km from its star. One revolution around the star makes the planet for 3.5 days. Remarkably, until now astronomers could not detect the planet, formed less than 100 million years ago. By the way, the age of the Earth is now estimated at 4.5 billion years old.
