That is a very interesting article. There is so much about space that we do not know. We haven't even begun to scratch the surface. I always wonder if somewhere, space just stops. Kinda like The Truman Show, where at the end, the mast of the boat hits what is supposed to be the horizon and puts a hole in it. He finds that he got to the end of what he thought was real. Then again, he steps through a door and there is the real world behind it.
It boggles the mind. My boggled mind is busy boggling. P^/
I find this fascinating. There are old myths about "shadow" planets, suns & moons, in some cultures.
It seems amazing that mankind attempts to define certain parameters in space, and then they discover something completely contrary.
I love it!
Thanks for posting, it Brian.
