We are supposed to ask questions, so, I am gonna ask some. :D
Are whiteholes possible? If yes, then, why haven t we yet discovered one, is it because we don t have enough technology or anything else? If not, then, why not?
Are there more elementary forces? Can anything be smaller than the higgs boson?
And last, but not the least, will we ever have a theory of everything? What will our reactions be like when we really have one?
Hope that isn t too much. :) :D

keep in mind the best questions are the ones with no answer
Betelgeuse On Steroids : This Monster Star Is Dimming And Scientists Now Know Why
KEY POINTS
Researchers used Hubble images to determine the cause of the dimming
It s quite similar to Betelgeuse s dimming
Scientists have figured out why a monster star in the constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog) has been dimming.
The red hypergiant VY Canis Majoris is so massive it would engulf the inner planets and extend out to between Jupiter and Saturn if it replaced the sun at the center of our solar system, the European Space Agency (ESA)
But even though it is so bright and massive, the monster hypergiant is so far away that even 200 years ago, it was only visible as a faint star. And eventually, the star dimmed until it was no longer visible to the naked eye.
This will also be the planet s greatest western elongation for the whole of 2021.
In other words, Mercury is best seen in the morning sky and the best evening view will not arrive until September 2021.
But before that happens, keep your eyes peeled for the Jupiter-Mercury conjunction.
Mr Kerss said: Although the western elongation of Mercury will be very fine on Saturday, I would take time to look for it on Friday as well. Friday morning brings a close pairing of Jupiter and Mercury - a beautiful conjunction that at its best has the two sitting about one degree apart in the sky, with the much brighter Jupiter to the south.

What time will the Snow Moon peak this week?
The Moon will reach peak illumination at about 8.17am GMT on Saturday, February 27, after it has already set for the day.
You will have to wait until after 5.45pm when the Moon will rise again in the eastern skies.
On the east coast of the US this will be 3.17am EST, and stargazers on the west coast will see the peak at 12.17am PST.
Astronomers at the Royal Observatory Greenwich said: The Moon appears as different shapes in the sky depending on its phase from New Moon to Full Moon via waxing (growing) and waning (shrinking) Moons.
