Starship Asterisk*

Der APOD, Do any submissions get vetted for accuracy? How can "Halting its steady march toward southern declinations and begining its annual journey north" Referring to the Sun as obseved from the Earth be permitted to go public? I am disappointed that it appears if the picture looks nice,...

This is a beautiful image, and it doesn't look photoshopped at all, I have no idea what that guy was complaining about. You can actually see two additional stars, lower left AND lower right, but I have no idea which one it is, I'll refer that question to someone else. Also, thank you Neufer for rem...

Geez, whiner! (I would've said whiner s , but:) Why post the same thing twice, under different user names? And within four minutes of each other? We get it, you're disappointed. :roll: Well, as has been said before, "you can always come back tomorrow......." I think this is a pretty uniqu...

don't get it! Where is the science, how can any of the presented "photos" be taken seriously, it's 2 "points of light" heavily 'photoshopped' to remove all other points? What was done to enhance the scintillating, and 'a clever use of a swinging camera?' As I said. I simply don't...

Hi All, I have achieved my set out purpose. I indented to highlight the use of the apostrophe, and to see how many references to useless works, and ones opinions in a book written. I still ask the question. Why has no one referred me to the US English teaching of the use of the apostrophe, surely th...

Hi, I thank you to the attention of ones' opinion, and as I don't know the number of books sold, then it is ones' opinion + 80% of the total (using the basic 80/20 rule). I would have been happier to be referred to the USA curriculum on the teaching of the English language in your schools, as that w...

Hi, Sadly, your reply has left me wondering why you bothered to reply, as it clearly is the recycled photo from APOD 13-03-2007, with not much contribution to my discussion. I'm disappointed since there are an exponential number of new photos available from NASA/JPL/ESA/JAXA to name the main sources...

I apologise, for my not using the Kings' English correctly. However, I still stand by the use of the Apostrophe, and yes, I have again misused the language, it's the new age to attempt to change it slightly when one needs to draw attention to a word. I tend to "use a Capital" to draw atten...

I think not! I love how you attempt to justify a plural, and progressive plurals? What English grammar is that from. The Cat, yes a single Cat. The Cats, More than one. The Cat's, Cannot exist without being part of a sentence with extra nouns and adjectives. Thus "The Cat's unapproachable, or t...

Hi, No offence intended, but it seems you too have been tugged into the event horizon with your use (mis-use) of the Apostrophe in the Cats' Eye Nebula from Hubble. My change of the location of the Apostrophe is intentional. Do you know why? I seek the proper use of the language, else don't use MMM ...

Todays' APOD "The Cat's Eye Nebula from Hubble " Lets now use the heading in its full name: The Cat is Eye Nebula from Hubble. However to all my colleagues and other learned individuals, one using the kings English, we would of course place the "Apostrophe" not where we want to s...
