Largest Body of Water found around a BLACK HOLE

 Oldest, Largest Body of Water in Existence in SPACE

"The water is in a cloud around a huge black hole that is in the process of sucking in matter and spraying out energy (such an active black hole is called a quasar), and the waves of energy the black hole releases make water by literally knocking hydrogen and oxygen atoms together.

Natural Beauty

I've really gotten the chance to enjoy some wonderful music recently, but something just struck me as funny a moment ago. I'm sitting, listening to the rain outside my window and I can't help but think it's the most beautiful sound I've ever loved. Why is everything created by nature inherently the most basic and powerful form of beauty? (Makes me think of Plato's "forms") Everyday I step outside and look at the trees, sky and flowers, I can't imagine anything humans could duplicate being as magnificent. How lucky and futile are we in trying to create beauty in a world so abundant with natural sublimity. 

A DREAM

Edgar Allan Poe, 1827

    In visions of the dark night
    I have dreamed of joy departed-
    But a waking dream of life and light
    Hath left me broken-hearted.


    Ah! what is not a dream by day
    To him whose eyes are cast
    On things around him with a ray
    Turned back upon the past?


    That holy dream- that holy dream,
    While all the world were chiding,
    Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
    A lonely spirit guiding.


    What though that light, thro' storm and night,
    So trembled from afar-
    What could there be more purely bright
    In Truth's day-star?
