My Forlorn Corn Field.
My name is Josh Leeson.I have been living for 20 years. I am being educated at Ohio University. I have a passion for theater, dance, pop music, fashion, and outer space. I always have so much to say, but I can never seem to fully express myself. However, the defining idea or concept my scattered and unorganized mind results in is this universal mentality of a celestial like place where I can be serene, comforted, safe, free, loved, and unconditionally happy. This place is a not just my fantasy but my goal. I am determined to find such a place, and achieve such a satisfaction in life. Despite how delusional this may seem, I feel that what I want in my overall life transcends most things everyone else wants...its just that mine is manifested in a more romantic like way. I believe that everything I do in my life is slowly pointing me towards this ultimate destination, this ultimate goal. The If you want to know more about me, just ask! :)

Sometimes I like to take sometime to appreciate our history <3
This needs more notes!

Black Hole Powered Jets Plow Into Galaxy
This composite image of a galaxy illustrates how the intense gravity of a supermassive black hole can be tapped to generate immense power. The image contains X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), optical light obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (gold) and radio waves from the NSF’s Very Large Array (pink).
This multi-wavelength view shows 4C+29.30, a galaxy located some 850 million light years from Earth. The radio emission comes from two jets of particles that are speeding at millions of miles per hour away from a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. The estimated mass of the black hole is about 100 million times the mass of our Sun. The ends of the jets show larger areas of radio emission located outside the galaxy.
The X-ray data show a different aspect of this galaxy, tracing the location of hot gas. The bright X-rays in the center of the image mark a pool of million-degree gas around the black hole. Some of this material may eventually be consumed by the black hole, and the magnetized, whirlpool of gas near the black hole could in turn, trigger more output to the radio jet.
Most of the low-energy X-rays from the vicinity of the black hole are absorbed by dust and gas, probably in the shape of a giant doughnut around the black hole. This doughnut, or torus blocks all the optical light produced near the black hole, so astronomers refer to this type of source as a hidden or buried black hole. The optical light seen in the image is from the stars in the galaxy.
