Re: APOD: Advanced LIGO: Gravitational Wave... (2016 Feb 07)
I don't think you generate gravitons, nor gravitational waves....just pushing air....making air waves....swish.... Drop a pebble in at one end of lake Superior...and try to detect that on the other side...an awful lot going on inbetween. Most, if any, ripples in spacetime go back down very quicky.....

Re: APOD: Elliptical M60, Spiral NGC 4647 (2016 Jan 28)
Is the term "egg-like" used because describing the shape of an elliptical galaxy as "elliptical" is self-referential? What's wrong with "oval"? Nobody mention footballs, please. Did someone mention footballs? (American) https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/sites/www.cfa.harvard...
