You funny Orin!

All a bit Death Star! Hi madtom1999, I don’t understand your post. Can you please explain what you mean? I’m having trigger trouble with my bipolar disorder brain… I’ll explain, I have reason to think that you are part of a conspiracy. Maybe even a deadly one. It’s not your problem but I would appr...

And here I figured this APOD would be devoid of comments. <sigh> So, I guess I'll have to contribute by way of this most convincing depiction of The Lady in the Moon from one of the links: https://www.loc.gov/static/managed-content/uploads/sites/16/2018/09/blue-moon_lc3.jpg And there's also the hea...

I guess my favorite Moon image is this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg/1024px-NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg It's a picture that really puts the Earth and the Moon into perspective. You have to gasp when you see it. At least it makes...

These are among my favorite picture scape subjects. The ones that include a little bit of planet earth. I’m betting Ann the Color Commentator has a thing or two to say about the blue moon! I’m kinda partial to the moon myself! :D Ah, sorry to disappoint you, emc! I wasn't even going to comment on t...

p.s. hi everyone

Hi Istiraut, I look forward to my dental visits. Weird huh?

Welcome to Starship Asterisk!

268_lorand_fenyes_iris_ngc7023_1024.jpg I grow Iris flowers and I love them! I even have a pretty blue one like the nebula! :D We have a few deer feeding flowers around the house. We love the deer and the flowers. We used to have a similar problem with bird feeders and cats. We’re down to one indoo...

fragb73p_hst_960.jpg Comets are fascinating snowballs! I wonder how much of Earths ocean came from comets? :shock: If the Big Bang theory is correct, everything came from a single point. So wouldn’t everything have started together? Then during the expansion a P-R effect would have affected the dis...

How to post images

Thanks bystander! You tha man too!

If the Big Bang theory is correct, everything came from a single point. So wouldn’t everything have started together? Then during the expansion a P-R effect would have affected the distribution of matter? So there’s no human way of telling how much? Photons interact with matter in different ways, w...

Beautiful colors! How’d they do that? Well, sigh. I guess I'm the one who should say something about it, as I am the self-appointed Color Commentator of Starship Asterisk*. Problem is, I'm not too interested in dying or dead stars. In fact, I find them somewhat depressing. Ann Yes. I’ve only been b...

Thanks a bunch!

Cometary debris always lies in a sort of toroidal zone around the orbital path of the parent body. It initially just drifts from whatever momentum is provided by the release mechanism (and that's all we're seeing in this image, where the fragments are all recently produced and just a few thousand k...

Some explanation for the ignorant (me) please? The break-up may be moderately explosive, like a geyser eruption on Earth, but how do the fragments become so separated? Are they scattered along the orbit of the parent comet? Or, as all their tails are aligned, but they are all along the same line, i...

I know that this site will inform me.

Yes sir to that!

Hi JohnD,

I know you know you’re not ignorant and are smart else you wouldn’t ask questions.

Thanks! Now you’ve got me curious. The not so smart one… but pretty silly one!

Cool comet picture and cool comet comments! So I was compelled completely to comment cooly. Thanks!

I finally got your joke but I had to visit your Flowers Around the House thread to get it. You funny Orin! Me slow!
