A Mystic Mountain Discovered

Pictures taken by the Hubble site team reveal an amazing mystic mountain formed from hydrogen that is continually being eaten away by stars that are close by. The image shows pillars of dust and gas from a somewhat mountain-like figure. While the mountain is being affected by stars close by, others are also embedded within the mountain; the gases emitted from these stars can be seen streaming out of the body. The stars formed within the body are as a result of stars in the nebula compressing the body with radiation and fast winds.

The pictures below show the Mystic Mountain:

Science Pictures: The Worlds Longest Insect

The Phobaeticus chani is known to hold the record for the longest living insect in the world. Though recently discovered it has already made it in the world book of records beating the previous record holder Phobaeticus serratipes.  Its longest is said to have a length of 35.7 cm excluding its legs. These weird looking insects are said to thrive in the canopy of the rain forests, which explains why they were so hard to find. What is even more alarming about these insects is the egg they produce. Their eggs have a somewhat tiny wing which they use for gliding from tree to tree.

Below are some science pictures showing the Phobaeticus Chani and their eggs:

Black Hole Science Pictures

Black Hole
So what's a black hole?

In its simplest form it is a somewhat large explosion that occurs in space. It is said to absorb every thing even light, hence its name. It is normally triggered when a star having a mass larger than the sun explodes. It can be viewed as being suicidal, when old enough the star gets crushed by its own gravity forming what is known as a black hole. this occurs as a result of the radius of the star shrinking so much that its consumes anything in its path this is known as a stellar mass blackhole.
