Milky Way

i heard at the centre of the galaxy is a black hole. that’s why it’s spiral shaped. don’t know if it’s true, but it’s a cool thought.

Yeah it is a cool thought…I like your avatar too :)

Thinking about this stuff I remember a pretty song…maybe Train’s song

“But tell me, did you sail across the Sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded? And that heaven is overrated”

thx quaternions. :)

i went to the azores last year, and if you look up at the sky at night, there is a long line of stars that streak across the sky. it’s the milky way, seen from the side. it’s very pretty.

looks like this: http://www.astronomy.org/StarWatch/August/8-04-shi-milky-way.jpg

That’s a cool pic, it was deffo worth seeing that :)

Where is the azores?

it’s a small group of extinct volcanic islands in the middle of the ocean, halfway between portugal and the US, they belong to portugal.

Oh right cool. I never seem to get past Spain myself :)

spain sounds really nice. i’ve never been because in july it must be BOILING . the culture sounds great though. naps in the afternoon? oh yes. :D

My brother lives in Spain, he moved there from Wales a couple of years ago, so i go to see him. And yes it’s hot in July…i tend to stay in the shade :)

must have been a big change moving from wales to spain, lol. wow he’s lucky. i might be moving to wales next year actually, for uni.

My bro likes Spain. There are so many English people there you don’t even need to learn the language :)

I live fairly near the University of Wales at Bangor.
