Our Debt: 16 Galaxies and Counting…
Nobody Cares
Most Americans knows it’s reported that our debt is $16 trillion…but having said that, not many have any concept of just how big that is:
Here’s some help: Our debt is as big as 16 galaxies.
A giant spiral of gas dust and stars, Messier 101 spans 170,000 light-years and contains more than a trillion stars. Astronomers have uncovered a surprising trend in galaxy evolution where galaxies like M101 and the Milky Way Galaxy continued to develop into settled disk galaxies long after previously thought.

Also, since Nobody Cares that I just love “star” pictures, here one taken of the upcoming Orionid Meteor Shower. Wow.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Every child in America should have forty thousand stars named after them, or at least Certificates of Ownership that they can sell.
I wonder who came up with this ‘trillion’ stars in a galaxy thingo. Did they stay up all night counting? Did they have a pack of pedantic boy-scouts as helpers? Did they all get a badge?
Lovely pictures, Joyanna, but that second one – the meteorites – is a composite. Its an ain’t-real. As for calling it “one taken of the upcoming Orionid Meteor Shower. Wow.”, wow indeed. Now we have photos taken before the event !! I think Obama wants you on his team, despite your wanting him launched up there to join his debt.

LOL..you’re right…it’s a “fake” taken in slow time of LAST’s years shower! I forget that many of you want incredible details! I just like the picture. I would put in up in my Kitchen to give me thought on something other than politicains. As for how do they know there are a “trillion” stars in a Galaxy? Well, It’s NASA, and they said so…but they could just be guessing! Looks like at least 900 billion to me.
