Re: APOD: Saturn's Northern Hexagon (2023 Jun 18)
Could the storm inside have anything to do with the hexagon?

Re: APOD: A Fire Rainbow over West Virginia (2021 Aug 30)
I'm not sure I understand the phrase "the Sun must be at least 58 degrees high in a sky where cirrus clouds present below"...
Was the photographer looking up at the sky or was he on a mountain looking level or down?

Re: APOD: Cygnus Mosaic 2010 - 2020 (2021 Feb 11)
Is Cygnus near one end of the bar of the Milky Way? Are we seeing a lot of star formation in Cygnus because the end of the Milky Way bar is stirring the molecular clouds of Cygnus? Ann Looking at the galaxy map of NGS, I'd say no; the North America nebula is in our neighbourhood. https://www.davidr...

Re: APOD: A Mercury Transit Music Video from SDO (2019 Oct 21)
Why is it "rare"? I would think every orbit that Mercury did would place it between us and the sun? More than once a year?

Re: APOD: Four Planets Orbiting Star HR 8799 (2017 Feb 01)
And here I was thinking that all exoplanets had been inferred and never been imaged directly, duh! I see from the first comment that an exoplanet was imaged as early as 2003 - what was the first exoplanet imaged ever?

Did you notice the little pieces of bushes (arms), on the lower left and on the right, detached from the overall structure of the galaxy, do these actually exists?

Re: The Spotty Surface of Betelgeuse (2010 Jan 06)
Pluto is approximately 110 mas in diameter. Charon is approximately 55 mas in diameter (about the same as Betelgeuse]. Pluto's moon Hydra is approximately 7.5 mas in diameter. I was also wondering about the signification of mas... Charon about the same as Betelgeuse?? I don't think so :shock: What ...

Re: The Colliding Spiral Galaxies of Arp 274 (2009 April 7)
We all know these collisions happens over a very long period of time, hundred of millions of years as stated in the caption. But these two are 400 millions light years away; is that collision already over?
