Starship Asterisk*

"Evolutionary zero-age" refers to when a star first begins fusing hydrogen in its core.

Today's new Hubble image shows a dramatic difference with what appears to be new stellar activity at the 9:00 position in this image http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2006/50/images/a/formats/print.jpg of variable star V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon). There is a dramatic change in less than a year. Th...

5000nm? visible? Wish I had your eyes

Are you the same Pete of this posting? http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=42293&page=2&pp=20 Nope, I haven't seen those forums before. But I love how he totally owned the "longest crater chain in the solar system" :D I can see why YOU have to take meds. We have no need of t...

BMAONE23's got it: direction of rotation is dependent on how the galaxy happens to be oriented relative to us. There was a discussion here a couple of months back about the very same topic: http://asterisk.apod.com/vie ... php?t=2567

P.S. dayum, that's a long URL

You have really got it wrong,,,,,,,,,I cannot help to think,,,,that an educated person like you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,makes statements like that. Its not even worth a comment. Simple recycle would explain the above. The whole problem with recycling is entropy. You aren't allowed to answer "recycling&qu...

Hello Pete Pete read these papers and let me know what you think. I skimmed over a few of them *shudder*...looks like speculative fiction. I almost laughed out loud at the discordant conclusions. For example, how does this make sense: Thus, the occurrence of a neutron star in the core of the Sun, i...

Well, not much in the way of thoughtful responses, so far. I sincerely hope there will be better responses forth coming. Wow. May I suggest you attempt to answer the responses to your original post? Simply ignoring them like this really doesn't help your position and makes you sound like a troll. T...

There are a few energy balances that need to be accounted. The chain reaction of the iron broken down to Helium,,,,,,,energy release The Helium broken down to atoms,,,,,,,energy release These two reactions consume energy, since fusion of light elements up to iron releases energy, as in the sun, or,...

Where are any of the impactors? The odds of all these craters we see not showing any impactors is virtually impossible. If it is true that all these craters are caused by impactors there should be many that show the impactor that caused it. From http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/meteorites/...

Nice observation - I hadn't noticed that The Globemaster is clearly approaching the camera.

That is my point exactly!!!!!!! Any equation using a function of infinity is a mathematical violation, including the age, size and mass of the universe. Keep in mind that the age, size, and mass of the Universe are physical, not mathematical, parameters. The concept of infinity crops up everywhere ...

If a tree falls in a forest and no-one is around to actually hear it fall, does it make a noise? If a tree falls on Schrödinger's cat and nobody is around, is the cat alive or dead? ;) I guess you can obtain any answer you like if you keep inserting improbable hypothetical qualifiers. To avoid comi...

Here is a question I don't understand at all. Hopefully all you smart university grads can break it down for me. Why when falling into a smaller black hole would you get ripped apart by the tidal forces before crossing the event horizon yet in a larger one you wont get torn apart until after you ha...

Now I wonder what happened to that other "speed of gravity" thread? :D Speed of Gravity. http://metaresearch.org/cosmology/speed_of_gravity.asp That article (by a Tom Van Flandern) supports faster-than-light propagation of gravity. The most convincing argument I read was the absence of a g...

Hello Qev Well I was selling newspapers when Kennedy was shot. I was around when Elvis started. I think I came after the monkeys. Hi Harry! I was a newly wed and at work when Kennedy was assassinated. I remember Johnson said he would keep Kennedy's promise to land men on the moon. I think it would ...

Mars is not biotic nor has it ever had life. Wouldn't Spirit and Opportunity have discovered any remant of life after more than two years of roving about? Nor has any other body in this solar system had life. Titan, Europa and all other bodies in the sun system are fascinating but without life. The...

Owned.

Titan's atmosphere has no free oxygen, so its methane can't ignite:

Concievably, a probe carrying an oxygen supply and a heat source could burn some atmospheric methane...I just hope NASA isn't thinking of doing that

Hello Orin Re http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/2006/36/full/ The galaxy cluster is 9 billion years away.

Proof can stay with mathematics - science only disproves
