Can some one explain to me how to insert an image into my post.


Example:

"bla bla blah...... [image] ........bla bla blah"


Thank you.

Interesting

Yes Harry there is -it's called M-O-N-E-Y !!

I could have missed something but I always thought that when a BH's mass is mentioned, that it is just a rough comparison to an observable star's mass. For a BH cannot have "mass" per say. For example: If we observe objects that are near enough to an alleged BH we can roughly calculate wha...

You speak the truth Bmaone23.

Good point nuclei

It may not be reason enough but a good point nonetheless.

All of what you say sounds truthful lewishb. I don't believe anyone is second guessing the requirements needed for a manned exploration or base on Mars. However, this does not mean that we should just sit with idle hands and not rise to the challenge of securing the continued existence of our specie...

Please do not be insulted by my sarcasm Orca. I try to mix in a little "light-hearted" humor with my posts. It's nothing personal I just enjoy a good debate. However, I do believe that ignorance is a contagion. We could debate this for a week and I realize I would never be able to convince...

News Headline: "By 2040 there could be no more ice at the North pole." Does everyone understand the implications of this? BMAONE23 -I agree the moon is the closest and safest place to start. Mars/moon it doesn't matter really let's just start doing it again. Back to the finances point agai...

Thank you, iamluck13 & orin stepanek. Your replies could not have come soon enough. I wish everyone would post a reply to this. I believe it to be a very important topic.

Thank you Makc. I agree with your final conclusion.

I would like to see if anyone can constructively comment on my response to Orca. Perhaps Orca himself could?

Bold was not meant to imply attitude but rather to seperate our responses.

I did just that Orca its in cafe. But who was doing all of that in the thread? I don't see anything that was "negative."

I completely do not understand your reasoning here Makc. How wasn't that constructive? Please explain when you have a moment.

Martin, if you think that trying to achieve sustainability on the only planet that isn't horribly destructive to life as we know it constitutes "ignorance," well, I am just not sure what to tell you. I do not recall calling anyone ignorant for wanting to or trying to sustain life here on E...

Are you implying that an expert is needed to identify ignorance?

I will never be able to understand the ignorance behind people’s desires to prefer robotic missions over manned. Although there is no denying the value and safeness of utilizing robotic technology, I am disappointed that the vast majority of people believe that this 3rd rock from a monstrous nuclear...

What about a meteorite. Could a small meteorite impact or debris from one, somehow cause something like this?

What about the possibility that the sand just shifted -exposing lighter colored sediment?

Cold case solved -right? Looks like a most probable yes to me!

Dormant -meaning we cannot observe the reaction of material going into the blackhole (it's not feeding).

A giant black hole displaying horrifying table manners has been caught in the act of guzzling a star in a galaxy 4 billion light-years away, scientists using an orbiting NASA telescope said on Tuesday. For the past two years, scientists have monitored the dramatic events as the star, residing in a g...
