The Daily Galaxy - Great Discoveries Channel -Your Daily Dose of Awe: Science, Space, Tech Physicists believe that so-called techni-quarks can be the yet unseen particles, smaller than the Higgs particle that will form a natural exention of the Standard Model which includes three generations of quarks and leptons. These particles together with the fundamental forces form the basis of the observed matter in the universe.

View the latest Image of the Day Top 10 Bizarre Things in Space Space From miniature black holes to distortions in the fabric of space-time, from galaxies that are eating each other to matter that can neither be seen nor detected directly…space is full of many strange things. And here are ten of the strangest, courtesy of MSN and Space.com: 10. These bright beacons shine to us from the edges of the visible universe and are reminders to scientists of our universe’s chaotic infancy. 9. Quantum physics tells us that contrary to appearances, empty space is a bubbling brew of “virtual” subatomic particles that are constantly being created and destroyed. 8. Like Superman’s alter-ego, Bizzaro, the particles making up normal matter also have opposite versions of themselves. 7. If a radical new “braneworld” theory of gravity is correct, then scattered throughout our solar system are thousands of tiny black holes, each about the size of an atomic nucleus. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. Like life on Earth, galaxies can “eat” each other and evolve over time. 1. Jamie Frater
10 Incredible Images of Space Space Here are some beautiful images of outer space. I have tried to keep the images as large as possible so they can be used for desktop wallpapers. Click the image for the larger view. 1. The Pillars of Creation The pillars are columns of cool interstellar hydrogen gas and dust that double as incubators for new stars. 2. What better way can we truly appreciate the size of our Sun than to see one of the planets in transit? 3. This is a photograph taken by the Hubble Telescope. 4. A wonderful explosion of colour (in Gemini) as an old star dies leaving a central tiny, hot, White Dwarf and several layers of exploding gas (NASA, Hubble) 5. A nebula (from Latin: “mist”; pl. nebulae or nebulæ, with ligature) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas and plasma. 6. A stunning collection of galaxies – courtesy of the Hubble telescope 7. Amazing photo of a string of pearls surrounding an exploding star 8. The rings of Saturn are a series of planetary rings that orbit the planet Saturn. 9. 10.
