Re: Scenes from Two Hemispheres (2010 Jan 15)

I don't think dusk vs. dawn matters. Orion goes across my sky with his head up at both. No rotation overnite. Am I wrong?

Re: Scenes from Two Hemispheres (2010 Jan 15)

Thanks,
but I didn't mention longitude.
Iran and Tasmania likely are under 45 degrees north or south, so together, again, are not more than 90 degrees apart latitudinally. So still unanswered.

Re: Scenes from Two Hemispheres (2010 Jan 15)

Can someone explain why the stars seem to have rotated 180 degrees, but the angle between Iran and Tasmania is probably closer to 90?

HUDF Infrared: Dawn of the Galaxies (2009 Dec 09)

Bystander- I'm so new here that I can't reply to your PM. Thanks for it; I'll respond here. You are totally correct. And as the interlooper here, I have no right to attack mainstream scientific thought (even if it is suspect). It's the iconoclast in me. Your comments were constructive. -snip - laund...

re: today's APD, I understand why (according to Big Bangers) the "faint red smudges" are very distant and so red-shifted. But...what then are the more numerous faint WHITE smudges? Tiny but closer galaxies? Look at the picture... New class of objects? Why aren't they all red-shifted? They ...
