Damn, I completely overlooked Expendable Cosmonauts. But it looks like a monument win is a foregone conclusion. All things Slavic will forever be IDM.

I SUBMIT: Mystery Green Blob In Space

The Hubble Space Telescope got its first peek at a mysterious giant green blob in outer space and found that it's strangely alive. The bizarre glowing blob is giving birth to new stars, some only a couple million years old, in remote areas of the universe where stars don't normally form

 

 

  Quote

Parts of the green blob are collapsing and the resulting pressure from that is creating the stars. The stellar nurseries are outside of a normal galaxy, which is usually where stars live.

 

That makes these "very lonely newborn stars" that are "in the middle of nowhere," said Bill Keel, the University of Alabama astronomer who examined the blob.

 

The blob is the size of our own Milky Way galaxy and it is 650 million light years away. Each light year is about 6 trillion miles.

 

The blob is mostly hydrogen gas swirling from a close encounter of two galaxies and it glows because it is illuminated by a quasar in one of the galaxies. A quasar is a bright object full of energy powered by a black hole.

 

The blob was discovered by elementary school teacher Hanny van Arkel, who was 24 at the time, as part of a worldwide Galaxy Zoo project where everyday people can look at archived star photographs to catalog new objects.

 

Van Arkel said when she first saw the odd object in 2007 it appeared blue and smaller. The Hubble photo provides a clear picture and better explanation for what is happening around the blob.

 

"It actually looked like a blue smudge," van Arkel told The Associated Press. "Now it looks like dancing frog in the sky because it's green." She says she can even see what passes for arms and eyes.

 

Since van Arkel's discovery, astronomers have looked for similar gas blobs and found 18 of them. But all of them are about half the size of Hanny's Voorwerp, Keel said.

 

 

Totally!

At first I thought it said "Raptor Farms" and I was all "Fuck yeah!"

Frank Herbert's Dune is IDM as fuck, but I doubt it will win simply because a lot of you dudes haven't read it.

I'm super down with those monuments though.

thanks yo!

and btw... LOL at someone who just came in the last hour and casted a vote for Ulilillia only!

All right yall! I'm going to keep this open til Sunday evening at around 5pm PCT.

I want to take this time as well to thank you all for getting involved. I see that a lot of you are having fun with this and that makes me happy. A few of you may not agree with the selections, but hey. We all shave our beards at one time and have to lay our cats down to sleep. and we press on with new ideas and influences that keeps this community and the music that we love so much alive.

And I'd also like to thank Fred McGriff for letting me hold the fort down while he's out of commission.

Let's all give him a round of applause!
