Jupiter
Saturn
The Milky Way
The Pleiades (Messier object 45)
The Beehive Cluster (Messier object 44) 
The Orion Nebula (Messier object 42)

			<title>New mathematics about astronomy by antti j. Vaalama, finland!</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/people/casinoheinola/&quot;&gt;antti johannes vaalama&lt;/a&gt; posted a new topic:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am publishing new mathematics and theories about astronomy for NASA science. My name is Antti Johannes Vaalama, living in the city of Heinola, Finland. I am an engineer, violinist and musician. I was accepted as a researcher at NASA last autumn in the organization called &amp;quot;the Sponsored Research Office, SRO&amp;quot; and before last Easter I was accepted at NASA´s Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have new explanations about gravity, what it is and how it occures in cosmos we live in. I have also new theories about the distances of stars and galaxies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have about 300 new equations about the secrets of the universe, univeses... based on the maths of Albert Einstein, Johannes Coulomb and Isaac Newton. I have for instance calculated Isaac Newton equation of Philosophiae Naturalis Mathematica Principa and the Swardzild equation, I have the same result on the both equations, a very short time, the speed of gravity particle (about 10 in 30 m/s and goes towards eternity in cosmos), a new value of astronomical unit (a little bit greater as used nowadays). I claim that gravity is a huge electrical power between planet (earth) and star (sun) and between each stars and galaxies and forms so called gravity corridor, not any field as Albert Einstein has explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The movement of planet earth around the sun is caused by two electric power energy components and a resultant, which is about 10 in 65 eV. So a huge electrical energy keeps on moving the planet earth, merry go round, around the sun, as all other planets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are interested in my mathematics, please contact me! My address is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Name: Antti Johannes Vaalama&lt;br /&gt;
Address: Siltakatu 13 as 17, 18100 Heinola, Finland&lt;br /&gt;
email: ajvaalama@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You're welcome :D&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that's not true, I've been watching your photostream and you've got some really outstanding pictures in daytime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congratulations again from a finalist (more than a runner-up... my English is not that good xD)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
