Starship Asterisk*

One article explains: "At the center of the giant butterfly-like feature is IRc2, a star 30 times more massive than the sun which is in the process of forming. A strong wind with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per second is blowing out from IRc2, evacuating the butterfly-like cavity and a...

If we could look directly along the axis of the homunculus and see the star(s) at its center, would it not appear similar to the Eskimo nebula or the Cat's Eye nebula? In other words, are they not all similar structures, but seen at varying angles? This might interest you. [youtube=https://www.yout...

You better start spraying vinegar on a fan.

Don't get high;
when observing the sky.

As for the red color, Ultima Thule is not the only Kuiper Belt object that is reddish. Pluto, for example, is too. But how can it be that Pluto is reddish while Charon, moon of Pluto, is mostly grey ? I'd like to have that explained to me. Ann Not an explanation more a guess. My guess would be Char...

a new image in the series was quickly taken with one of the sky-gazers posing on the nearby peak. Later, all of the images were digitally combined. Anybody can photoshop or stitch pictures together to represent something that didn't really happen. This is one of them. I'm always disappointed when s...

Someone forgot to think about a detachable lens cover.

Thanks for the link. I guessed there is a reason for these similarities. I can imagine we'll find more planetoids like these two in the future.

I don't get it.

No Flash allowed. It's 2018.

In later years, when so many people have begun questioning the Moon landing, I have come to think of the terrible quality of the transmission as one brilliant piece of evidence that the Moon landing was for real. Because if Hollywood had staged the whole thing, there is no way they would have allow...

There is a small object moving in the right upper corner. Is it an asteroid? Can I name it? :mrgreen: https://i.imgur.com/kcTqTVo.gif I couldn't find what you've found Astronymus, but in looking for it I noticed what looks like a meteor about 1/3rd of the way into the video cutting across part of t...

I bet there is a flat earth explanation for this.

There seem fault lines nearby. I wonder if this salty mass might have been pushed out like outcrops on earth. Like exposed salt domes. Such mass doesn't need to be wet with water to flow. Maybe shrinking of the asteroids crust and shape due to an cooling core caused it.

If I had to speculate it's because it gets heated up on the way down and emits more light.

But what causes the bluish beam, pointing to the lower left?

Probably jets of other young stars in the neighbourhood?

And a smaller one above it. And lots of satellites.

so...if not even light is supposed to escape a black hole, how do these emit streams? and why doesn't the other's gravitational field suck it up when it orbits around? The jets are formed by gas and particles of the accretion disc that just escape the black hole. Like gaining speed by a malstroem b...

Along the dragmark, there is a cable or a wire running from the module, slightly elevated from the ground, casting a shadow at places and endingending in a look. Wonder what that is! It's almost certainly the cable between the TV camera Armstrong deployed and the transmitter in the LM. (It doesn't ...

Probably some kind of volcanic vent or former way of mineralized water.

Notice the jets the new formed stars shoot out of their nurseries.
