In the Hubble classification scheme: Spiral galaxies…

Ivan Yefremov’s The Nur-i-desht Observatory conveys ideas of spirituality and other worldly powers; however, when discovered that the source of renewal and everlasting joy comes not from the temple-esque observatory, but instead from worldly and rational radium, it becomes not a place of serenity and human development, but instead, one of scientific discovery. The battle between a spiritual awakening or a stimulant inducing elation forces a question about the existence of divine encounters, which in turn restricts human experience and invalidates emotion. The short story provides a scientific understanding for the idea of exultation, a feeling that is typically abstract and subjective.…

Historians have long thought that Robert Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole. Many of them now believe that Frederick Cook might have beaten him there. Cook said he reached the North Pole in 1908, a year before Peary. Although, another explorer named Edward Barrill said Cook lied, the New York Herald later reported that Barrill was paid to make the statement.
