The sound of a black hole! In case you were wondering! http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/484130/what-do-black-holes-sound-like/ Did you ever wonder how big those comets are next to...say a major city? There's a great photo. Don't know if this is the one we recently landed on, only to find it wasn't really a black snowball... That theory ended quickly, when the crampons didn't land right on the rock, and it took a bit of a tumble... Turns out the comet trail is not melting snowball!! http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/10/22/26-pictures-will-make-you-re-evaluate-your-entire-existence/

I can imagine that as overwhelming solid and compact that they are, and the speed they are moving when they first touch each other, that they would make a chirping sound like steel wheels on steel rails. I can only suppose that it would actually be so loud that our ear drums couldn't handle it, although. (To say the least) There was a special on that comet landing attempt a while ago and how they had 3 optional places to land, but it wound up landing not well and also had trouble getting light on it's solar panels. Interesting links!!!

^ That is amazing! I've never seen that one before! It's a beaut! I really like the Carina Nebula and have been thinking of painting it, and coincidentally it just came up on APOD a couple of days ago... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160527.html However I also really like this one of the nebula in Orion, with the Horsehead Nebula inside it! http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160413.html

^Looking forward to seeing these Photos! It's going to be interesting! NO BLACK HOLES!?? Just got used the the idea of being stuck on the event horizon, then going in and being stretched like a spaghetti...sigh, these things are changing at an amazing rate, every day!! Coming up, new ways to imagine Jupiter!! http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stephen-hawking-there-are-no-black-holes/
