Starship Asterisk*

This transit could not have happened without the efforts of all the women at NASA.

Why Beethoven?

Beautiful picture! I want a poster of this!

What is a Thunder Moon?

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

This is off topic. The NASA's Eyes app is displaying incorrect data for the Juno mission. It says Orbit #2 when it is now orbit #3. I have been trying to find a way to contact SOMEONE to report this so that it might be fixed. Please advise!

Actually, I had already spotted the other plane before I read the challenge. ;-P

Dawn reached it's lowest orbit in mid-December and since then there have been hardly any images released at the website. Just a few redundant flyover videos. And even this is just a new look at an object featured almost a year ago. Disappointing to say the least. It appears we know more about Pluto ...

An unusual cloud like the one over China.

That IS a flying saucer. Are you saying I'm stupid and credulous?

Clouds are not astronomy. This is obviously an inter-stellar spacecraft.

I started making scale models of the Solar System back in the early 80s. I did it with drawings on a large roll of butcher paper but found I still had to draw gaps which represented millions of miles or the roll of paper would have been too large. The scale I used was close to what these guys used; ...

At least one-quarter of Ceres’s mass is water. So it seems likely this is ice. And if a faint haze develops in this crater then why not a hot spot similar to Yellowstone on Earth. Perhaps initiated by the impact that formed the crater weakening the crust and allowing these geyser like outflows or su...

Obviously some kind of open pit mining operation.

Pardon our dust. It's just the turbinium reactor being activated by Douglas Quaid. Just the beginning of the terraforming project. Mars rocks!

So I guess he just set the timer on the camera and ran up there. Why didn't he wait for his girlfriend to join him? Is that a beer in his left hand?

Happy Birthday

I clicked neither yes or no. I'm not sure if I really understand what you are asking. I've been following this page since 1995 and I'm not sure if I have ever even noticed the leading question. If I did, it certainly did not bother me. It is your page and you can ask those kinds of questions and I c...

"Otherworldy?" Obviously the writer of the description doesn't spend much time outdoors. Alternatively, he doesn't spend much time near forest fires. I think it's fair to say most people don't spend much time engulfed in smoke. I'm sorry to say I have spent entirely TOO much time engulfed...

A large asteroid with a moon of it's own just flew past Earth and we are looking at pictures of clouds. Why are our heads in the clouds? I don't get this

nice - very - very - nice

Oh come on! Anybody can tell that's really a flying saucer.

How many millions of ice crystals can you count? Don't be tellin' me this picture is fake.

I got 31

It's sort of cute. I hope they didn't spend much time making it.
