Too many people found out what dihydrogen monoxide is.

You gotta use the word oxidane now.[/quote]
:arrow: Luca Parmitano's Kryptonite: OXiDANE

Think of Halloween and this type of landscape, on Enceladus....with Saturn in the background....ooooooooo :D

The aurorae are quite beautiful!

Corona Borealis is visible to the left of the foreground geyser. Low to the horizon below Corona Borealis is bright Arcturus. The bowl of the big dipper is to the left of the geyser (with the handle hidden behind the geyser). I would guess this picture was taken around midnight on the night of 12 - 13 September 2013.

Oh sure you can. Too many aromatic hydrocarbons with ethanol over frozen oxidane will get your attention the next day. :cry:

I think he lost all his oxidane when his boat went down. :mrgreen:

Not sure if joking, or ... :incredulous:

Anyway, too many people found out what dihydrogen monoxide is. You gotta use the word oxidane now.

Once again Planet Earth has inspired me, as much as The Horse Head Nebula, The Pillars of Doom, The Rings of Saturn, Mars (where the govt's hide their rusty red spy cars : - ) AND... the Curiosity Vehicle recently (2 days ago) found a Dihydrogen Monoxide Generator ! built with a technology we know absolutely nothing about...Go figure!

I don't know about the resolution of the picture however, going to the link gives more, still beautiful, pictures. I have a language problem with the site, but I think the pics are for sale.
