Re: APOD: Messier Marathon (2011 May 27)

What are the lightning looking red streaks from time to time in the time lapse movie? Mr. Messier sure had his work cut out for him. It must have taken lots of time and enthusiasm to do what he did so well.

Re: APOD: Gravity Probe B Confirms Einstein (2011 May 10)

Thanks to the Gravity Probe B team. If the rest of the folks would appreciate what they are doing instead of trying to find fault and nitpick everything they do this world might eventually be a better place. I'll bet no one on this forum can make the the world's smoothest sphere. I clicked on that l...

If you look at a straight line from Venus to Mars and keep going, there is a faint something. What might that be? Nice going Luis.

As beautiful as the Galaxies are just look at all the background galaxies. There must be hundreds visible and this is in just one direction. Wow, thanks Hubble.

Re: APOD: Young Stars in the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud (2011 Apr 14

Beautiful picture. I always wonder how some of these things get their names. Was Rho Ophiuchi named after someone or what. The spell checker doesn't even recognize it as a word. How about Ophiuchus? I know they must be related, but how in the world (no pun intended) does the whole world of astronome...

Speaking of a 10 year old shouldn't you be in school? :x
