Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard? But not the pipeline. That's bullspend. And marketers are calling it out in... dashboard confessions. My boss asked for results, so I opened my dashboard for the only positive sounding metric I had. Impressions. Cut the bullspend. See revenue? Not just reach.

Even though 99.99% of the cosmos is a vacuum, if you encounter something of substance, the chances are high that it might easily end your life. And still, some things are scarier than others. For example, gamma ray bursts. When the galaxy explodes, it releases a powerful burst of gamma rays. And those can completely annihilate any asteroid or planet in their path.

A gamma ray burst occurs in our home Milky Way galaxy once every 5 million years or so. Then there are vampire stars. Scientifically they're known as O-type stars. Those are enormous blue giants attached to way smaller stars, which gradually get consumed. The glowing ad bunched on metrics that look great, till the CFO sees them, that's bullspend. And marketers are calling it out in dashboard confessions. I remember telling my boss, it'll be good for the brand when leads were slow. Yeah, it wasn't. Cut the bullspend.

Care professional and symptoms persist. One of them was discovered in 2016. This rogue black hole is heavier than the sun, and is moving at a speed of more than 1,240 miles per second. This black hole could have broken away after the collisions of its home galaxy with another one. At the moment, it's around 2 billion light years away from us. Now, how about a mysterious space anomaly called the Great Attractor? This area lies around 150 to 250 million light years away from our galaxy.

The Great Attractor's gravitational pull is so powerful that it can move entire galaxies toward itself, making them collapse with one another. But the scariest thing? We still don't know what it is, and whether our galaxy will end up in its clutches one day. Meteors might not sound particularly exciting or scary, but they are some of the most realistic threats to our planet. Thousands of meteorites hit Earth every year. Luckily, most of them are too small to cause any serious harm. They either burn in the planet's atmosphere or crash into the ocean. Our own sun can be pretty scary too, especially when it produces powerful bursts of energy, solar flares. They often go hand in hand with coronal mass ejections. Solar flares are giant bubbles of ionized gas that can accelerate to incredible speeds. The most powerful volcanic eruptions and pale in comparison to solar flares that release 10 million times more energy.

Within a few minutes, one solar flare can give out billions of tons of charged particles. Solar flares are also insanely hot, with the temperatures reaching several million degrees, effustronomers believe that such bursts of solar radiation happen when the sun's magnetic field gets twisted in some regions. At one moment, all the pent-up energy is released. The star sends out light and particles, mostly electrons and protons. Most solar flares last for minutes, but some continue for hours. A powerful solar storm can potentially cause a devastating global blackout on Earth. The next scary space phenomenon is the dark flow. All galaxies are supposed to be moving uniformly away from one another. But there's one large group of clusters that seems to be moving at a speed of 600 miles per second, toward a small region of space between the constellations Centaurus and Vila. There seems to be no apparent cause for this, which is why this inexplicable phenomenon

got its name. The cosmos also presents many dangers for astronauts. For example, extended space travel can apparently change human DNA. According to scientists, the stress from staying in space for too long might cause astronauts cells to rewrite their genetic code. The worst thing is that such DNA changes are permanent.
