These never before seen images image's of this far off dwarf planet are something to take a look at.

This is bizarre. What is it really ? Even scientists don't seem to know what to make of this. Could it really be a power station built by aliens ?

I posted on that on the Space thread in the main forum, it's likely not alien in my opinion, but would be cool if it was found out to be alien.

New Astronomy Findings Challenge Big Bang Theory

October 27, 2015

By Tom Olago

Researchers in the field of astronomy have recently announced what is described to be a ‘truly monstrous’ structure, consisting of a ring of galaxies around 5 billion light-years across. Reported findings show that the seemingly unprecedented galactic ring, which was revealed by nine Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), is located 7 billion light-years away.

GRBs are thought to be the result of massive stars collapsing into black holes, ostensibly at the end of the stars' lives. Because black holes are typically found inside galaxies, astronomers say the ring of GRBs is evidence of a gigantic galaxy ring. Beacons can be used to precisely gauge the distance to the GRB and the location of the galaxy that hosts it.

These GRBs, and by extension the galaxies they inhabit, are believed to be somehow associated since all nine are located at a similar distance from Earth. The odds of this distribution are said to be a low as 1 in 20,000. This means that they are very likely associated with the same structure; which structure should not even exist according to cosmological models led by the famous ‘Big Bang’ theory.

The ‘Big Bang’ theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Scientific findings have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. The ‘Big Bang’ theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

It’s proponents in effect dismiss the possibility that the universe was directly created by God, and even the possibility that the ‘Big Bang’ is just an attempt to be scientifically descriptive of a process God may have chosen to use in creating the universe.

Dr. Lajos Balazs led the team of astronomers that discovered the ring of galaxies. He reportedly commented: “If we are right, this structure contradicts the current models of the universe…It was a huge surprise to find something this big—and we still don’t quite understand how it came to exist at all.”

Dr. Jake Hebert, a physicist with the Institute for Creation Research, advanced some reasons that this discovery could be devastating for the cosmological Big Bang model:

1. “It would violate one of the fundamental tenets of the Big Bang model, namely the assumption that matter and energy, on cosmic distance scales, are distributed uniformly in space…but such a uniform, or homogeneous, distribution of matter implies that giant structures, such as this ring of galaxies, should not exist.”

2. ‘Cosmological principle’ assumptions were built into the Big Bang model at the earliest stages of its development, and are therefore foundational to it. Hence, stated Dr. Hebert, for secular scientists to abandon any of these assumptions would require a “complete re-write” rather than just “a minor tweak” to the Big Bang story.

Besides these, Dr. Hebert concluded that the model “is riddled with other serious problems” and further wondered: “…since the Big Bang contradicts both the Bible’s straightforward creation account in Genesis and our scientific observations, why should anyone take it seriously?”

Perhaps the answer to that lies in the fact that dismissing the Big Bang model would then necessitate embracing wider, more logical analyses. These would naturally include the Biblical accounts - specifically the Creationist view – which also happens to be more consistent with independent scientific findings.

Accepting that would be altogether too much for people who wouldn’t want to accept the reality of the Creator God, the fact that we are all His creation, and are ultimately accountable to Him.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:13).

The whole big bang theory has one big flaw, like the atheist like to point out where did got come from, well where did that magic particle come from that went bang ???

Check out the cool never been seen photos of Pluto. It's amazing that we can get such clear photos from so far away now.

Pluto’s Mysterious, Floating Hills

The nitrogen ice glaciers on Pluto appear to carry an intriguing cargo: numerous, isolated hills that may be fragments of water ice from Pluto’s surrounding uplands. These hills individually measure one to several miles or kilometers across, according to images and data from NASA’s New Horizons mission.

The hills, which are in the vast ice plain informally named Sputnik Planum within Pluto’s ‘heart,’ are likely miniature versions of the larger, jumbled mountains on Sputnik Planum’s western border. They are yet another example of Pluto’s fascinating and abundant geological activity.

Because water ice is less dense than nitrogen-dominated ice, scientists believe these water ice hills are floating in a sea of frozen nitrogen and move over time like icebergs in Earth’s Arctic Ocean. The hills are likely fragments of the rugged uplands that have broken away and are being carried by the nitrogen glaciers into Sputnik Planum. ‘Chains’ of the drifting hills are formed along the flow paths of the glaciers. When the hills enter the cellular terrain of central Sputnik Planum, they become subject to the convective motions of the nitrogen ice, and are pushed to the edges of the cells, where the hills cluster in groups reaching up to 12 miles (20 kilometers) across.

At the northern end of the image, the feature informally named Challenger Colles – honoring the crew of the lost space shuttle Challenger – appears to be an especially large accumulation of these hills, measuring 37 by 22 miles (60 by 35 kilometers). This feature is located near the boundary with the uplands, away from the cellular terrain, and may represent a location where hills have been ‘beached’ due to the nitrogen ice being especially shallow.

The image above shows the inset in context next to a larger view that covers most of Pluto’s encounter hemisphere. The inset was obtained by New Horizons’ Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) instrument. North is up; illumination is from the top-left of the image. The image resolution is about 1050 feet (320 meters) per pixel. The image measures a little over 300 miles (almost 500 kilometers) long and about 210 miles (340 kilometers) wide. It was obtained at a range of approximately 9,950 miles (16,000 kilometers) from Pluto, about 12 minutes before New Horizons’ closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015.

i would think more would be coming soon, I think by August most of them will be fully processed.

There weren't photos of Mercury like this when I was a boy. Scientists can't figure out and are baffled how the surface of Mercury is laden with carbon.

Mercury's dark secret: an ancient carbon-rich crust

My guess being so close to the sun anything that falls to the planet is quite burnt up, so likely carbon would build up.
