Starship Asterisk*

Interesting though, how the alignment of these three stars mimic the alignment of the three great pyramids. I don't see it: http://show.imagehosting.us/show/799391/0/nouser_799/T1_-1_799391.jpg Or, see for yourself: [ 1 ], [ 2 ] I never once stated that it was an exact or precise alignment only tha...

Well of course it was designed that the pyramids would be the ones mimicking the stars and not the other way around. I thought that the entire 7 star group of the constellation Orion was found in the placement of the pyramids. I remember seeing a special on the subject where they had taken an image ...

WOW

Interesting though, how the alignment of these three stars mimic the alignment of the three great pyramids. (Obviously by design) (But who's?)

It is of a portion of a galaxy that is some 70,000 LY across and seen at a distance of approx ?25000 LY? our relative distance to the center.

It is probably that orbital kinetic energy is needed to stabiliz the effects of gravitational forces tending to pull the stars towards the gravitational center of the galaxies with central supermassive black holes. In this case, rotational orbits would be necessary for galgctic stability. For spheri...

I like the glouble? on the right side of the image just below what would be the middle of the image. It is best viewed by loading the image and then viewing it full size. Follow an approximate angled centerline to the right side of the image and then look slightly below.

There are also three pillars to the left side of the image that appear to be stacked pointing toward the right side of the image. The farthest left image looks like Mary, with halo, holding a baby. The farthest right of the three looks like Mary, with halo, and Joseph, standing together, looking dow...

To the geologists: It is my view that Pumice rocks have generally porus structures and that the holes do not follow any given pattern. The same thing goes for all tectites that I have seen. Those craters of Hyperion, that are not visibly impact craters, appear to radiate out from a central location....

I tend to agree with the idea of this being a captured comet. I am uncertain how to explain the dark material at the bottom of the unusual craters other than from an impact that spread pulverized material over the surface which then settled at the bottoms of the craters. I feel though that the unusu...

if you take the image into Photoshop and brighten the image (fill flash) the concentric rings of the catastrophe become apparent. If you invert the image colors, you can see them too.

This was the APOD image fir 09-03-05 "Venus unveiled"

it has a remarkable resemblance to this

Saturns moon Dione.

Funny how different things bear similar marks of creation.

The inner region reminded me of hot water in a clear glass container just before it starts to boil. Could it be boiling gas???

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050921.html forgot this http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/main/index.html As of 9-24-05 the image in question is the last thumbnail in the recent series of Titan. The face is peeking at you from the upper right corner of the thumbnail image. (WELL, It would...

I find it interesting that no one has yet pointed out the face on Titan. It is visible in the top center of the image as it appears in the captioned image on the APOD web site. half way between the top of the image and the first dark "Bay". It is, of course, an alien face with the large bl...

I’m not educated in the mathematics of gravity, however; it is my opinion that different things affect the gravity of any given object. Specific gravity would be the attractiveness of all combined matter that any given object possesses (The heavier the elements, the stronger the relative gravity). F...

I cannot locate the post that was requesting the location of a metric conversion web site but the best I could find is this

Most nebula are named for certain features that are seen in visible light). as different filters can change the perspective appearance of objects, you could loose the (obvious???) reasons for their naminng unless you see the visible light image. Perhaps APOD could include the (sometimes striking) vi...

[quote="S. Bilderback"]I would have to disagree - in a way. Near the center of galaxies stars are moving very fast in relatively close proximity interfering with each other's orbits. Collisions happen but are rarely observed, washed out by the intense energy of the galactic core and by out...

in the Voyager image the North Pole sits in the lower right quadrant of the image at the ternimator between day and night. In the Cassini image the South Pole sits in the middle of the "Tiger Stripes"

The images from the Voyager 2 probe passed over the North Pole of the moon. If you look at the cassini images of the polar regions you will see the crater paterns you are looking for. I do not believe that there are any Voyager images of the south polar region, at least none that I have been able to...

Does this moon orbit Saturn in the same fashion as ours does? (One side always facing the planet) If so, it could be that Saturn's gravity well pulls debris into the back side of the moon leaving the front side nearly pristine. Our moon is significantly cratered on the back side.

Just a thought

Thanks Aqua, I'll try it.

I found a good reference for the comparative distances/sizes at http://www.nineplanets.org: Imagine Earth the size of a grape. The moon would be a foot from the earth. The sun would be 1.5m in diameter and 150 metres away. Jupiter would be the size of a large grapefruit and be about 5 city blocks a...

If you download the image into photoshop and invert the colors it looks really cool. it also causes the appearance of more arms in the outer region of the galaxy. If I knew how to import pictures into the BB and have them work, I would post it but for some reason my PC won't do it
