Re: APOD: Analemma 2010 (2010 Dec 31)

I like this kind of regularity. It reminds me elements. It is also like a craft. Making something with no immediate effect, contemplating the material, collecting things. It is like knitting a sweater, creating patterns symbolizing infinity. Great picture!

So, does it mean that even though the galaxies are farther away from us,but as huge structures, they emit more heat visible in infrared, than brighter and closer stars from our Milky Way, and so in the picture we see galaxies as clear structures in reddish color and stars in our Milky Way just as bl...

I also like these installations in the picture, they are full of triangles and it is very hard to count them becouse triangles makes triangles.
I do not try to count them really, but I take pictures of installations becouse of the triangles.
