Pathway to the Stars: Part 12, Alpha Andromedae

“Throughout this Universe, we’re all part of the same team. We need each other to succeed as a universal civilization. We need to do due diligence by recognizing the good in others and by doing our part to cause a positive shift in focus to resolutions to issues met with action while seeking the well-being of each of the individuals involved." ~ Vesha Celeste

The time has arrived! The Intergalactic Mission Contingency is awaiting orders from the United Allied States (UAS) President, Eliza Williams, to take off into distant regions beyond our Solar System! With their Q-Drive and a phenomenal lineup of command staff and crew, the journey to explore the Universe has become imminent and real. Each of the Spacecraft Commanders and their Vice Commanders brief all of civilization throughout Sol, going into intriguing detail about where they plan to go in each of their zones and regions.

Will there be parties after their first jump? Or, will the IMC crews look at the Universe in terror facing their impending doom? Read and find out!

Here is a portion of an email I received today. After three years of research, breathing life into new characters, and helping the world enjoy their journey, I found I had to divide my novel into two parts. So, there will be a Part 1 and a Part 2. Without further ado:

“Congratulations! Your book “Further Than Before: Pathway to the Stars” is available for pre-order in the Kindle Store. It is…

UGC 12591: The Fastest Rotating Galaxy Known Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble; Processing & Copyright: Leo Shatz

Explanation: Why does this galaxy spin so fast? To start, even identifying which type of galaxy UGC 12591 is difficult – featured on the lower left, it has dark dust lanes like a spiral galaxy but a large diffuse bulge of stars like a lenticular. Surprisingly observations show that UGC 12591 spins at about 480 km/sec, almost twice as fast as our Milky Way, and the fastest rotation rate yet measured. The mass needed to hold together a galaxy spinning this fast is several times the mass of our Milky Way Galaxy. Progenitor scenarios for UGC 12591 include slow growth by accreting ambient matter, or rapid growth through a recent galaxy collision or collisions – future observations may tell. The light we see today from UGC 12591 left about 400 million years ago, when trees were first developing on Earth.

This Is Why Hubble Can’t See The Very First Galaxies

“By observing dark, empty patches of sky, it reveals ancient galaxies without nearby interference. When distant galaxy clusters are present, these massive gravitational clumps behave as natural magnifying lenses. The most distant observed galaxies have their light bent, distorted, and amplified along the journey. Hubble discovered the current cosmic record-holder, GN-z11, via lensing. Its light arrives from 407 million years after the Big Bang: 3% of the Universe’s current age.”

No astronomical observatory has revolutionized our view of the Universe quite like NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. With the various servicing missions and instrument upgrades that have taken place over its lifetime, Hubble has pushed back the cosmic frontier of the first stars and galaxies to limits never before known. Yet there must be galaxies before them; some of the most distant Hubble galaxies have stars in them that push back the time of the first galaxies to just 250 million years after the Big Bang. Yet Hubble is physically incapable of seeing that far. Three factors: cosmic redshift, warm temperatures, and light-blocking gas, prevent us from going much beyond what we’ve already seen. In fact, we’re remarkably lucky to have gotten as distant as we have. 

Find out why Hubble can’t see the very first galaxies, and why we need the James Webb space telescope!
