NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has completed its first year of science operations, delivering on its promise to reveal the universe in unprecedented detail. In celebration of this milestone, NASA has released an image of a small star-forming region in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, captured by the telescope.
In June 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope made one of its first observations, capturing the rare sight of a Wolf-Rayet star in unprecedented detail. The star, WR 124, is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is 15,000 light-years away.
Astronomers at NASA have discovered a unique six-star system located about 2,000 light-years from Earth. The system, TIC 168789840, has 3-pairs of stars whirling about each other.
The event has been dubbed S200114f. The burst originated from the area of Betelgeuse, a red giant star that is the eleventh-brightest star in the night sky. Astronomers have swung their telescopes to this portion of the sky and are listening across different wavelengths for a whisper of what may have occurred.
Astronomers say it’s the most exciting thing since Childress’s 2003 Anti-Gravity Handbook (which they claim is impossible to put down) – the discovery of a new earth-like planet creatively named Proxima-B. It’s an incredible discovery because Proxima-B is roughly the same size as earth, the same mass as earth, and orbits a star in the…
Pictures of solar flares are remarkably fascinating – and common. NASA publishes new pictures of solar flares on a near-weekly basis. However, researchers have taken a closer look at the pictures and discovered something unusual – an object which looks oddly solid that seems to be orbiting around the Sun, just outside its transition region.…
It lies 1,481 light years away from Earth, between the constellations of Cygnus and Lyra, sitting above the Milky Way in the Northern hemisphere. The Kepler Space Telescope has trained its eye on the star (dubbed KIC 8462852 or TYC 3162-665-1) since 2009 but only since hordes of amateur scientists (a group called Planet Hunters)…
A visitor to the lab once asked Geek Slop how big space was and the lab tour had to be cancelled. In short, Geek Slop answered with “really, really, really big” but what he really did was add a bunch of “reallys” to make the point that space was “really big”. There were so many…
New NASA imagery has been released showing a huge, bizarre, glowing human hand-like structure that appears to be reaching out to touch a brilliant glowing red cloud in deep space. Complete with clearly-defined forearm, wrist, thumb, fingers, and fingernails, the celestial object has been appropriately dubbed the “Hand of God”.
In a wilderness survival situation, you can use stars for navigation and determine direction using “markers” in the sky, constellations, and key stars, which point the way North or South.

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
