Captain Howdy likes astrophysics too!
It shouldn't blow up anything near us. I guess there are billions of stars between us and the center. The deal is that if we can see the material get swallowed up, that should allow us to sort of "see" it as it will emit x-rays and possibly fling some of the material which could indirectly give us a more precise location of it.
Good news^this. Love a good light show
However, I just loin'd that Some Of Your Suntan Comes From Beyond The Milky Way - so, maybe, we could all be just that little bit more bronzed and beautiful, after the event.
I learned that TalkBass has more English professors per capita than any site on the internet.
I learned that I got a job I bid on....so yay I will make money this week.
Congrats! Pretty soon you'll be able to buy that $3999.00 Fodera and Ampeg Svt with a Fender 810 cab
I learned the Truth behind an old, Old Teacher chestnut..I witnessed it acted out in front of me...

That I am not the only one on this forum that should be working instead of posting.
Two things:
- The planet Jupiter does not, strictly speaking, orbit the sun.
- "Ibanez" is a hispanified version of the English surname "Evans" (well, I knew that before, but had forgotten).

There's a story. Were you scared? Were they scared? You didn't let them tie you up, did you? Should we send help?
Truly? You're not going to make me google this myself, are you?
I learned that "cello" is actually an abbreviated spelling for the instrument, which is actually spelled "violoncello". I had no idea!
Today I learned what that really odd plant growing on the back edge of my place is called. It's actually quite a large bramble, about the size of a couple pickups, and blackberries have nothing on this thing. I've been encouraging it to grow along the property line and hope to have a natural barrier in a few years. I never cared what it was called, but wifey is one of those who can't stand not knowing things so she looked it up today. The Flying Dragon plant. It's actually some sort of mini citrus plant from Asia and how it wound up on a hillside in north Alabama is a mystery, but there it is. All the water this year has it going wild. It's in full swing right now and the leaves hide all the interesting bits so I found a picture on line that shows why I like having it on the back of my place.
I've been doing some heavy lifting today - thinking… thinking… - this time, about certain myths surrounding men and women lifting weights - Women just as good at lifting weights as men, strength coach says 
This is certain. Weight-bearing exercise is good and everyone becomes stronger and healthier, as a consequence.

Some of the earliest compositions for doubles bass were for the "Great Dooble Bass".
