Astronomers have a massive breakthrough as they discover a weird and very bright extraordinary object in the far reaches of our solar system. Is it a planet? Is it a block of ice? Whatever it is, it’s bigger than Pluto. Fascinating science video from BBC Horizon show ‘Bye Bye Planet Pluto.’

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter formed long ago during a colossal collision between two galaxy clusters. This is the first time that dark matter has been found with a distribution that differs substantially from the distribution of ordinary matter.

=======================================
NOTE: This video is a edited version of “Energy vs Information” made by jaxxrr (to which all credit goes to), I was very impressed by the production value both the video and music.
Seeing that it received few hits, which may be due to the title and tags. In order for more people to see and enjoy this video I mirrored the edited version, so people won’t get too side tracked on the political message. (Although I’m against wars and big oil as well)
Please see the original version if you like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1NkoZeTEWc
-=NOTE=-
This video was made BEFORE “VY Canis Majoris” was listed as the largest known star, When this video was made 2006 by it’s author JAXXrr, the star “VV Cephei A” was listed as the largest known star.
For a list of current largest “known” stars see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_known_stars
Keep in mind while watching this video that the “largest known stars” are all found in our own galaxy (The Milky Way). We know of only of a very few of the estimated 200-300 Billion stars that make up our galaxy, which is just ONE of at least 300-500 billion galaxies in the visible Universe.

COSMOS Video News Release
For the first time ever, astronomers have been creating a three—dimensional map of how the dark matter is distributed across the Universe. An international team of scientists, among them groups from Marseille, the Max-Planck Institutes and Paris have been using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The results are published in nature online of 8 January 2007, and at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle. This Video News Release discussed this discovery.

http://www.pbs.org/nova/sciencenow We can’t see dark matter, and some skeptics doubt its existence, but many scientists think it makes up 20-some percent of our universe. Astronomer Doug Clowe explains how the Bullet Cluster, a group of galaxies billions of light years away, may shed some light on this mysterious stuff.
