Re: APOD: A Lunar Corona over Paris (2024 May 30)

Thanks for clearing everything up while I was away. :wink: Thanks. I had no idea! There is even a pre-phrased copyright disclaimer for people who like to show their pictures but do not intent to use them commercially. Just to be safe. I use it as well as I have pictures of the tower on my gallery. ...

Illuminated Eiffel Tower at nighttime without special copyright disclaimer. That could mean trouble if the photo is used commercially.

Re: APOD: Swirling Magnetic Field around Our... (2024 Apr 01)

Why is it possible to See the „black“ of the black whole , when - in our view - light from the sucked Stars only is around the whole And Not in Front. In my opinion the black whole has completely endlosen with light… It's an image of the radio band. It's not an actual photo. It like making infrasou...

Re: APOD: Apollo 11 Landing Panorama (2022 Jul 23)

The most common scifi scenario has the area walled off or domed over, with views through windows. More likely they will do that after space influencers and DimbDumb*-kids ruined the place for cheap shots. Then the place will have to be elaborately restored after protests of the public and then put ...

thought exercise. This scene and location will no doubt will be a museum site in the distant future. Probably the MOST FAMOUS space museum in the Solar System. Whether it is 150 years in the future or 500 years. Tourist will flock there just like they flock to the Pyramids of Giza or to Mecca today...
