Starship Asterisk*

The circle of life. It affects us constantly and is constantly changing. I’m good with the interactions that I had with Neufer. They were special and hold a special place in my tiny web life. A unique character indeed that I adored and still do. I’m sad that I missed so much in my absence from my A...

I was hoping you'd stay! All these years and i just noticed something that was always there! emc-- like in e=mcsquared! :mrgreen: Hi Orin, I’m back but not sure how long. I’m hoping to catch up with my APOD friends. It’s been a while and I feel the need to explain why… I first left because I starte...

Hi marthacortez, I’m not qualified to answer your question but I am qualified to welcome you to Asterisk. Thanks for posting. There’s some pretty knowledgeable folks around here that know all sorts of answers!

What happened to “Resident Geezer”?
“Plutonian” is so far away!

I was struck by the tail, thusly, I had to comment on the comet. What a beautiful APOD image of the night sky, especially with the comet in tow.

My first motorcycle experience was on Lloyd’s brand new 1967 red, white and blue Honda 350. I hopped on twisted the throttle and rode it straight across the Dairy Queen parking lot into the rear quarter panel of my black 1959 Ford. It put a hefty dent in my Ford and took the “new” right off Lloyd’s ...

My wife says that I like lazy days too much!

She’s not bossy, she just knows what I should be doing!

Today I’m looking forward to gaining a little more personal effort towards putting her knowledge into practice.

ET with wings

I’ve had a long day away from y’all. Been to and fro across the earth mostly. I love you folks.

Images are likely stretched to cover a range from white to black, which hides the true differences between areas. For that we'd need to look at unprocessed, linear images.

Always careful

There you go again… copying other people’s work

It is a chronic cognitive disease of mine.

I think you’re just a plain old hard worker

It's been nothing but hot, hot, hot, lately! It's supposed to rain to day; but the radar says we will probably be missed! So probably no rainbows! :( On the bright side it will be cooler! I have seen a few triple rainbows over the years; they get pretty light by the time they get to be #3! :wink: h...

Yep!

Slight step up from a wheelbarrow

Very cool Orin! 8-) I didn’t have to use my imagination as much. I owned a Jimmy Jet. I had the bottom bunk bed and draped a couple of sheets down off my brother’s top bunk. I set the Jimmy Jet at the head off my bunk and traveled the galaxy. I would exit my spaceship and meander about strange but b...

I wouldn't have said it was just plane awesome. I would say that it was just super spaceship awesome!

Thanks Orin!
Someday you and I need to ride out on our wheelbarrow

That was just plain awesome!

Perhaps we should stop using the phrase "Earth shattering news"... you know... so we don't thru some collective human mental power, draw a calamity upon ourselves. Else we will puzzle some distant intelligent race of our sun's mysterious periodic dimming.

I spend a lot of time on the other side of our visible universe in the realm I like to call "storage space" (cause there's probably gobs of room) and I don't even own a spaceship.

Today's APOD seems at first glance a little "seedy"... But it's probably just me.

History tends to repeat and so do stories... But sometimes with a twist. Today's lovely cosmic debris field could have once harbored an earth like planet inhabited by far advanced beings (from humans) capable of traversing the vast distances between stars. They would have of course evacuated their ...
